business jet interiors. 727, BBJ's, 767, Airbus, etc., or whatever projects I can get. I worked at Boeing in Seattle for almost 2 years on the 777. That was the only commercial interior I've ever worked on. Everything else has been airplane interiors for personal or corporate use.

I read yesterday that the 747-8 is falling on some pretty hard times, as is the 787. 2 years behind schedule. Gotta love those composite fuselage airplanes.

I would have loved to see the 787 fuselage. Any pics? I did see the inside of a gutted 747. That was pretty sweet too.

I don't recall ever drag racing in December. I'm pretty sure the tracks are closed from December to Feb/March.
Some tracks will be open in November, but a lot of events will be bracket racing. That means you won't be able to race after you get knocked out since it's a tournament. It's pretty hard to win as a novice at tournaments (dial-in, launch, more crowd, louder/faster cars, better prep, etc). It also costs more to race on a bracket race day, due to the possibility of winning the class prize.
From what I can tell, there isn't going to be a test and tune day during the week of Thanksgiving or the month of December. However, scheduling can change (and sometimes without much notice), so I'll let you know if I see any changes.
I've been waiting to get back to the drag strip to pull some better times, but I was anticipating on doing that early next year.
