well i can't let breel be the only one with a car that's still in the works

but on a serious note, they did apologize for the influx of insurance repairs and weather delays, so hopefully im offset only a week or so, just hope I can make the first autox event to shake down the car.

give me a call, it's about 15 minutes from the house.

Ok will do

Killboy reports that the roads are great. The little bit of salt that they laid out has was he away after alot of rainfall lately

im told by a local it should be snowing@dragon next weekend?

They must not like you. Forecast shows in the 50's with a chance of rain on saturday

So what's the rollout plan for Friday, Kim and I should be off at 11:00am, ready to go after that I guess.

FROM WEST ATLANTA - Take I-75 North to I-575 North, which will become Hwy 515 North. Just past the town of Blue Ridge, GA, turn left at traffic light onto GA Hwy 60 toward Murphy, NC. Go approximately 3 miles, in the town of Mineral Bluff turn right onto Spur 60 and continue 15 miles until Hwy 60 dead ends into Hwy 19/74. Turn right onto US Hwy 19/74 East. You will pass through Murphy and Andrews. Outside Andrews, US Hwy 19/74 will narrow to a two-lane highway and proceed into the Nantahala Gorge. The drive through the Gorge is about 20 miles of winding road alongside the Nantahala River, so please drive safely. You will pass the Nantahala Outdoor Center at the bottom of the Gorge, then the Nantahala Village as you leave the Gorge. Turn left at hwy 28 North towards Fontana. Follow directions below entitled ‘From Hwy 28N to Fontana View 3’ FROM EAST ATLANTA - Take I-85 North to I-985 (towards Gainesville, GA). North of Gainesville, I-985 turns into Hwy 441 North, which travels to the town of Franklin, NC (follow the signs for 441 bypass, not 441 business). Stay on 441 to the towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, NC, where 441 intersects with hwy 19/74. Take Hwy 19/74 West toward Bryson City, NC. Go about 20 miles, pass all 3 Bryson City exits and a turn for 28South, and the 4-lane highway splits into two two-lane roads at mile marker 59. Take the right fork, which is Hwy 28N to Fontana. Follow directions below entitled ‘From Hwy 28N to Fontana View 3

I can leave at noon from work and be ready to go.

Think that is everyone. Bottom floor sleeper is for Evan, just didn't update it.

Last night was the first time I rode backseat on the touge... in mjtouge's 330i. I was car sick for hours... I dunno how you guys can do that on the dragon of all places.   

Who says we do that??

Have multiple passengers while you are running the dragon.

We don't.. at most 1 shot gun

half our cars don't have back seats because they weigh too much, the other half don't have motors

^^^That!!

Not sure where that info came from.

lol

My bad, I guess lucids comment about being 'ballast' threw me off... but he was referring to auto-x actually I realize now.

Well I was car sick twice....When I road with Jason a couple yrs back, and when i rode with Mazeroth in his Z06....Those were the ONLY vehicles that can compete with a days worth of roller coaster rides @ six flags

Bobby ride shotgun with me again, I've improved greatly - promise it'll be smoother   

Im picking Evan up from the airport at noon and we'll he a out from there...in Sam's truck

After a valiant effort I got my car to fire up after replacing the motor, wiring harness twice, emptying out the bad FULL fuel tank, replacing clogged fuel rails, and having a tube framed radiator support for my FMRC (front mount radiator core) and it shuts off after 5 seconds. It has to be something with the wiring but unfortunately I do not have time to diagnose it.
