Cant do this one.
My supercharger craped out (FINALLY, after all that abuse!) and I am trying to save the $4,000 that the new SPRINTEX twin screw is going to cost me. Also doing a lot of interior work, geting wires hidden, the new seats in, still dont have any seatbelts in the car. Isn't building a weekend racecar fun!
I shuld have her up and runing again by June, if I can get the cash for the parts.

Bad news, good news, bad news, (1) My car is still broken (THANK YOU Mr. Obvious) (2) I dont need to go down to my other house to dig a 5 FOOT deep hole in the rock the place sits on, to fix a broken shutoff valve for the well. (3) I need to be down at the HYATT down town at 4:00 to go to some random post deployment ARMY thing, nobody warned anybody about!

This leaves my morning open, and maby I can make it to the start point for some pictures before the run.

No worries...you are still on the calendar sign-up as attending.

For the future, if you sign up for an event on the calendar and then can't make it, you can always go back to the event calendar and remove your name.

I won't be able to make this one, but BLU-BY-U will be representing us (BLUUUUU)

Jamie,

May want to cutt-off sign-up now. 25 may turn out to be too big a gorup to manage.

25 CARS! MAN WHY DOES MINE HAVE TO BE BROKE!

I am really going to try to make it down to the start point before the run before everyone shows up. It depends on wether or not my Suzukl will start, and go over 40mph.

Im going out to work on my car, hope to see yall in the morning.

Jamie, you need to apply somewhere as a metiorologist (AKA THE WEATHER MAN OR WOMAN)!
It looks like perfect weather again tomorrow, just like the last two rides. You guys are gonna have a blast. Squaw pass is my personal favorite road, watch out on a few of the corners about halfway up, they can get sneaky. Its a little too early in the year for the Ferrari's and Lambo's but that is where I tend to see most of them out playing.

We will need to do this road again once my car is done. Infact I am already puting a route together.
