You have to understand "Chance of Rain" in Louisiana. 60% chance of rain does not mean there is a 60% chance that it will rain in the area. It means that 60% of the air is experiencing rain. Unless a weather front or storm is coming through you wil hardly get any "OMG the sky is falling" rain.

To be honest, we had fall-like weather out there. The drizzling rain kept things cool, and after the rain left it remained relatively cool. The only bad thing about the night was the way they decided to do the grids. The course was really fun and it went a lot quicker than last time.

Those that didn't go because they didn't want to get drizzled... I mean "rained" on missed out. Even Greg stopped by with squeeky axles and all. We also found out that Jason has a phobia to cars that actually seem to run...

Finally, an auto-x where the car actually performed like I know it can.

I still have 3 bad wheel bearings(you can wiggle around 2 of the wheels), and brakes were giving me problems as usual. A few things to fix, then I'm going after Justin in SM

It must have been the helmet....

I had some things to do and really didn't feel like driving all the way out there either. I worked on my bike for a few hours and ran some errands. After that, I chilled out at some friends house to watch the game. They fried some shrimp and fish.

It actually seems to be idling rougher now, but I might just need to run it hard first to finish getting all that loose gunk out.
Thats also why we are wanting to run another can through the oil/intake

The first can we did the 1/3 gas, 1/3 oil, 1/3 intake approach but messed up the measurements a little bit. hehe

what are you up to today? Dad and I are gonna be workin on her some more today. Got some new wheels and tires from Drew for her ^_^

Yeah, arriving late and not walking the course will do that to you, lol. I think I scared some corner workers on my first run.

sup guys. I would've gone to the swamp room but Heather and I were at the Zephyr's game. We got out of there around 4:30 and headed over to Bradley and Lance's house. Just got home. Maybe next time.

Yeah, I was out there for a bit talking to Dave and talked to everyone else when they finished their work station. It wasn't raining when I got there... wish I could have drove.
