Oh man... I know that's definitely a reason you wouldn't want to roll with me and I understand. I'm really hoping I'll have my Z finished by Zdayz because I'm cutting it very very close. I'd be heartbroken if I had to ride up there and not enjoy the drive
riding passenger just means more Grape drank and I am sure you will enjoy it then lol.

If anyone is looking for a cabin let me know via PM as I'm probably going to contact them today or tomorrow.

I want your CABIN! I've got a double queen lodge room reserved and I'm on the wait list for a 1-2br cabin. Which cabin do you have??

Default I need an assistant this weekend

This is an open call for help. I have to go back to FVR this weekend and finish the TSD routes and Poker run route. I need a navigator to assist and take notes of street signs and stuff. It aint hard work, it aint glorious work, but I need to get it done this weekend.

The pay sux = $0
The hours suck = all day in a car with me
The roads are great = most of y'all haven't seen these before
PM if you are interested, I'll cover the room for the night and lunch on Saturday (papa's pizza, LOL)

I plan on heading up Friday night or possibly Saturday, either way it will take all day to do the driving, look forward to about 300 miles in the truck with me

Hey Brian, what is the new camera you got last year? how do you like it?

I am having a hell of a time finding a decent priced camcorder with the options I want.

Samsung SC-MX10, but remember I'm cheap and stooopid about cameras. It is probably the worst camera ever made, but it had a SD card, which meant I could throw away that shoe box of tapes. There are 100s of tapes tht I'll never rip, and never look back

That is true love. Don't get behind me then, Xerd Headers and custom catback. The biggest obstruction in my exhaust is an O2 sensor.

The only time I was behind you last year I was the latter, then again I had two cars in front of me, one of which hit terra firma, but I doubt the results would have been different.

I still take the blame foe that. I busted my Y pipe in gravity cavity earlier int he week and it was pretty much open headers. I buzzed by that truck and I'm sure he was like WTF and looked to see what nonsense just buzzed by, doing so caused him to cross the double yellow just as Graham was in pursuit.

That poor red G has been delegated to the "never see the road again" section of the junk yard. By the time we were done stripping it and replacing what we took with whatever we had, I wouldn't even ride in that car on a roll back. Matter of fact, i probably wouldn't even sit in it in a parking lot. Total refuse!

At least you stripped it, there were a lot of goodies on that car.

I am not looking forward to the drive down, i am going to get some ear plugs, and my exhaust isn't even that loud.

can't wait to see how all four 275/40 eagle F1s handle the dragon this year.

18s, they are a bit tight on the front. Doing research is great, ignoring it all when you make a rush decision, not so much.

yup, Im cheap like that. When you go through as many tires a year as I do, you look to save money where you can. I wish they would make a 295/40/17. I've got the room and enough camber for three people.

I have a pair of 285/40's and 275/40's that I am mounting tomorrow nite. (The 275's are a little big for the front wheels but I have tested them on the track, and the work very well.)

Those on 18s or 17s? I am going to the first autocross of the season this weekend, going to find out if it works, or if I am going to rip my fenders apart.

Yeah I run a 285/295 setup on the street, of course they are junk tires, general all seasons. 380 compound, LOL. At least they tolerate the camber and toe, LOL.. they are hard as nails, possible the worst tire I have every purchased, but I bought them for that reason

I'm on 17's too. (2-3 sets/year) Much better for the wallet.

Well mine are just the Kumho XS's (not race tires, but pretty good)

I think the XS's come in a bunch of 17 sizes, up in the 3XX range.
