Paul, keep the enclosed trailer and sleep in it Saturday night.

Should run good Pete.Do you have a good spot to get E85?Are you going to run the 10.00 index? Thats a pretty good idea about the trailer . I'm waiting for Milissa @ Island to get back to me about running 10.00 index there,She sent an email to tech dept,We'll see what happens.Not signing up for points just yet at Island.

And if something happened it could cut into my legs,I looked at him and said the trans is in the back! He just looked at me and said you can only run 11.00.So now that I think about it I wonder how many cars will they let run 10.00.
I love Island, first track I ever ran at, but if it's the same tech guy from a few years ago he is Corvette illiterate. Surprised he didn't give you a hard time about a drive shaft loop.

Yea Doug Island is a nice track to race at,He might have mentioned a driveshaft loop,I don't remember.I was a regular there years ago when I dragraced my motorcycle.I have been emailing Milissa from Island,I explained to her what happened back then and I told her that there is a handful of corvette's wanting to run the 10.00 index there with similar setup as mine,So she is looking into it.So anybody wanting to run 11.00 or faster don't sign up just yet
