^^ And don't go out for the early am mountain drives! It's always wet up in the mountains until the sun burns away the condensation. One scare was enough for me - I wait till after a nice big breakfast!

True that /\/\/\. I remember from the trip I made 3 years ago. Made about 4 total passes on the Dragon's Tail. That is a fun run! Hope they re-open it in time for the Z-Dayz event weekend.

C'mon Tom, I'm bailing on Grand Opening weekend of my new restaurant to make this event

Oh I'm coming down. Getting my tires sorted as we speak. Hehehe

Anyone think that driving from NY with MT ET's mounted will leave me with any tread left to be competitive at the Airport run? LOL
If possible, we may be able to coordinate a meet up and caravan on the way down from PA. I believe there are 3 of us coming from central PA, probably rolling down 81S.

Mike, I saw and heard your car today. They fired it up to move it for a good washing and detail. I had not seen/heard it all together and all I can say is - wow,... that's a nice piece of work and one of a kind. The custom piping work Sharif and crew performed under the hood is top notch - I venture to say its the first Forged Performance custom turbo piping on a 4.0L stroker. The motor sounds fantastic btw - looking forward to the trip over in May - see you soon.

Excellent. He'll never find it - no worries about disclosing it.

No picutres, I forgot my camera in the rush to get the kids to school and get on the road to Atlanta yesterday, sorry. All I had was my blackberry and it takes crappy pics.

That's a pretty trick setup with the couplings wire-tied together, I don't think you will be loosing a coupler this year - at 2psi !!!

you should get up with Blackbird as he's trailering his E85 car down and will have a 55g drum of E85 with him.

I was all set to get a Q16 tune today, but the new project at work kept me from taking the day to this done. Looks like I will just show up with what I got this year and see how I stack up. Its slightly amusing to think that I will show up with ~540whp and I feel somewhat underpowered

Its actually just 32 gallons, I should have plenty if he wants some as well. I plan on trailering the car with the tank completely full plus the 30+ gallons.
