In an effort to recoup our lodging expenses, we nearly wiped out the Day's Inn continental breakfast before leaving, so we felt ready for the action of day three ahead of us.
As a family, we had attended Gateway Intl. Raceway's Monster Mopar Weekend seven years straight from 1996-2002. We camped out at the track most of those trips, but we had stayed in Collinsville a few times also, so the drive to the facility felt familiar. We found a spot on the outskirts of the massive pit area, parked, and started the unloading ritual.
Dale pulled alongside a few minutes later in the Gremlin, "It stopped pulling when we got through the gate", he laughed, "The fluid is already hot in eight miles of driving."
"Perhaps you should talk to the other P'glide guys and see if you can round up some parts, or a re-build kit or something, and I'll have Rachael look for local transmission places on her phone."
"Yeah, sounds like a plan." He started meandering through the pits at a pace that had me wondering if his heart was really in the fight at this point.
Boone started into his street-to-strip conversion routine, and the Satellite had to wait for the Daily Driver session, but Darren and the Charger were already on the way to the lanes, seemed that yesterday's N20 runs had him excited to try it again!
