Default Island Dragway Friday night?

I'm flying back Friday afternoon, landing at 3:00 and hoping to make it for Friday night. Probably my last time at Island, although I"ll be at Etown one or two more time in Sept/Oct.

As long as my flight is on-time, I should be there - have to change the O2 sensors quickly as they're getting crapped-up from possible blow-by/rings/seals????

OTher than that, it looks like my runs will be at LVMS.

Dave

John,

I'm actually living in Las Vegas now, although my wife is still in NJ preparing for the permanent move. Our final move will probably be during November, although I"m flying back every other weekend. If my "to-do" list isn't too big on the weekends, I'll sneak down for some racing. Otherwise, I'll just be home a few times/year to visit family.

All of this happened rather fast and I"m still getting used to the idea of being out here......

I'll be down to Etown a few more times, but I have some time Friday and I'd rather maked a quick trip to Island rather than fight the shore traffic to Etown on a Friday......

Dave

Good to see you on here again Dave. we'll miss that sweet black beast of yours!

How is Vegas? I've been there twice...but never imagined actually living there. LOL, I hope you don't gamble....living in a city like that could be dangerous.

:cheers:

Dave, congrats on the new position, I know you will do well.
Island is good as there is no racing for us at E-town this weekend.

How about a LVCC, I'm looking for something in that area. ;)

BTW, I was serious about not knowing where Island is...I just started a job in North Jersey, if it's closer than E-Town I would go there right after work.
