I was on schedual and planning to make the journey, and also hit the Mean Street race in Jackson Tn. on the way back Sunday till i dropped a head on the copper gaskest yesterday and ruined the gasket while reaching over the fender and around the mastercylinder. I should have one showing up here this morning. Really unsure at this point..

I sure wish I could swing by, but the boys are swimming all weekend. Maybe I can sneak out there tomorrow night after the swim meet...

Have fun everyone!!

Scott, once thru the gates,veer up to the left and the majority of the pits will be straight ahead of you. Near the head of this area, more or less in the middle, is a water spigot in case you have jugs to fill. You can then veer more to your right if you want to pit up against the track, but this can be bad if the staging lanes get really backed up, as you may find it difficult to get out. Different people have different preferences, but the best area, especially for a big rig like yours, would probably be just past that water spigot location, more or less in the middle. Once you unload, head back up in the direction you came from, and tech is in the far right lane of the staging lanes, near the restrooms.

Then, if you need to go back to the pits and not get in the lanes yet, you can go straight ahead and then loop around to your right, going behind the restrooms. Otherwise, head over to the top of the lanes. Unless they've changed things, for test-and-tune purposes, quick and/or slick-tired cars stage out of the two leftmost lanes, closest to the track. Best bet is to ask the tech guy, in case they want anything different. See y'all in a little while.

I'm seeing a 30% chance of rain from 6pm till 12am, on the fence if I should make the trip or not.
