It is been a while I did not go (Last April), this is the first import wars for 2003 that I will be attending.

It looks it would be hot and relatively dry with 50% cloudy skies.

It will be a good day for racing!

Well, it's not the tranny, most likely. It's probably the brake light switch. I had the same problem with my '98 TL-P. The brake lights do not work. The brake light fuse is fine and the little button under the brake pedal lever seems fine. I'm waiting for a call back from the dealer to see if they have it in stock and how much it is. I can't really drive it there, without brake lights, and AAA towing will cost me anywhere from $35 - $60, because of mileage...uuuugggghhhhh!!

My girl's Jetta is about to lose its tranny, I think, so I really don't need this shit right now.

Don't think I'll be going to Import Wars tomorrow.

Well, boys and girls, I will be racing tomorrow, after all. I picked up a brake light switch at a Honda dealer 10 minutes from my house, installed it in a couple minutes, adjusted it to make sure it was correct, and I am all set to go. $30 at the Honda dealer...Acura dealer wanted $80 for part and overnight shipping, plus half-hour of labor...$125! However, I must say, that the service advisor at the Acura dealer was way helpful, and I called him back to tell him that. , Ted!!

I'll probably be meeting my Supra buddies in the AM before heading over as a little group.

Oh, I raced Bulldog on first time trial and he lost out of the hole, I pulled 14.655 to his 14.913, margin of the win is 0.5155 or more than 5 car lengths!

I will post all timeslips soon.

Yup...he got me right out the gate. First run of the day for us. I was gettin' up to about 2200, and I started to get a little above (2300, or so), and the brakes beagn to let go, so I eased off, and BAM...the lights hit. I had a nasty launch (I really need to work on this), and couldn't catch up. I had 14.5 the next two runs, and 14.6 the three after that, all at 96 mph. I was reasonably pleased, given the heat an' all. First run is usually weak, but I was pissed, cuz the weather wasn't gettin' any cooler the rest of the day. Oh, well.
