Another thought. We should look at the historical weather data for that week and see if we can get any semi conclusive information on possible weather issues...

P.S... I'm in depending on a few things of course...
1. As long as Mark is in...
2. As long as the car is together...
3. As long as my wife doesn't want to hang me or worse yet, stop giving me any...
4. As long as FartPipe isn't smoking the CrackPipe again...
5. As long as Mark is in...
6. And most importantly, as long as Mark is in...
No love? I tell ya..........

Also, I can get new MT tires at cost with real cheap mounting and balancing, let me know if anybody wants fresh rubber.

I'm in for whatever date...not running just supporting. I will have my drag pack, which Kevin will be using. I will lend them out for anyone else who is looking to make a couple passes. I doubt my gf will be using them for this rental but i need some tread left for another couple dates...they will be used up after probably 2-3 more rentals.

I do have a buddy with a stock C6Z06 that wants to make some passes, i will have to let him know that the date has changed, i have no idea if 17" thin spokes will fit the back of his car anyone know???



pretty sure the fronts won't...

Have you seen my ride lately? I think the wax would enhance the appearance of the rock chips and peeled clear.

I'll check with Weld. Any idea on lead times?
