Yet another reason why every race should be a points race...

Good luck guys. I hope the weather holds out for you. My car is still not back together, so I'll be in Numidia cheering on my friend in the D1 Bracket Finals.

If Cartek can get my engine out, & install the 403 stroker crank, in the "new" block, and get the heads ported and FAST intake done and tested by Sat. I'll be there..

If they cant get it ready, ya think anyone will notice that my Caviler is NOT a Vette.. ( I can say its a 2014) prototype..
