oh, dont get me wrong, we bog too at those numbers, it's just that we dont have that big of a turbo like you FI-Zs have

Tomorrow morning I have to drop off some work at an office near where Altered Atmosphere is located. Normally I dont have to, but because of a deadline, I am working a little late tonight to make sure my work is done for tomorrow's deadline and take it early in the morning for the drop-off. I normally work in Columbia (just at the end of Snowden and Broken Land Parkway). I live between these two offices.


I have my other tire pressure gauge (dont need no stink'n digital, just need a damn good racing one . Might as well fill up your fuel at the pump and just fill up your tires while you are at it, we can always bleed off when we get there.

Bert's working on getting a friend of his to drive my truck. If he does, I'll have small tank that'll hold about 120lbs. You're welcome to use that if you need to, Rob.

a small 10 gallon tank of air at 120 psi is probably just enough for 8 tires tops (trust me on that one).

It would be better to just fill up at the gas station anyways.

I will be leaving with MDracer76 and my friend from CFA in Dulles at 7:15 am.
We should have a grill, water, cooler, ice, jack, torque wrench, a digital tire pressure gauge and helmets.

The track will have race fuel (one time during the day) and also has air hose to fill up tires before and after the race.

I hope to be there by 9 AM, but if you beat me to MIR, let them know you are with Brent's group (I think we are the only ones) and they will tell you where to set up. I can only assume it will be right next to the tech area behind the bleachers.

I look forward to seeing everyone out there and I am sure we will have a good time.

ONE NOTE OF CAUTION: It says Thunderstorms are going to roll in the afternoon. I suggest we get there early and get some good runs in before any real rain hits us, (if it rains at all that is). I would also like to make sure people have a safe way of getting home. If you drive out on DR's it might be a bit touchy going home. Please be careful.

aight I'm going to try to make it. I'm still at work @3 am, since I have to work slowly with the injuries (working since 9am yesterday ). Hopefully I can get out of here and down there before it rains. If not, make sure you guys get some good video for me!

So, how was it guys? I so wanted to loose my track virginity at this thing, but knew I wouldn't be getting back from a business trip until tonight. Now you guys gotta post up so I can live vicariously through you.
