You should really wait for a private rental as you're only going to get one shot at it at E-town.

Not even sure my vette will be ready for Sat

I had a lot of open space on my calendar this week, so decided to swap ECUs. Got about to the point where every thing was disconnected and my calendar suddenly filled up with urgent crap. Worked on it til 1:00am this morning and got almost everything done. I hope it runs and apparently, I'll have to figure out how to tune it in the rain. Wish me luck

Im up for 13.5 with my trailblazer SS.

I just called E Town and asked if they were running tonight for sure if it stays DRY.. The woman I spoke to said "NO DECISION" has been made yet, and to call back between 12 - 2 pm

Sh** If they call off tonight my only hope for an 11 sec time slip will be next Sat...

You hope...don't even look at the long range/potential forecast for the 5th.

If you go tonight though I do believe you'll see at least one 11 second pass.
