I'm sorry! I had a club member/friend trailer LilRed down and back for me. Close to 4 hours one way made for a long day each time I went to/from Ed's. Was kinda exhausted after an 8 hour day of travel.

If I get back down there, I'll take you up on it. Would have been nice to see ya!

I like that. Wouldnt that let more air in thus making it faster.

I just spoke to my wife, we may do that Nov 9th weekend in Richmond. Race the car and visting family. Then If I break the car, the wife in the family van can tow me home.

What a great world
