I'm race ready. Juice is in, no major hiccups with the car.

We need to take a look at Ennis' calendar to scan for possible dates.

We're going to be needing them in Austin soon. With all the time I spend in Houston, I should get one. They're good statewide now, aren't they?

For the next 2 months here are the dates to pick from . . . and I'll need to make sure there are no out of town tournaments those weekends.


April 14 - Fast Friday
May 5 - Fast Friday
May 12 - Ultimate Street Nights

http://www.texasmotorplex.com/fastfriday/

As always these are on Friday nights so hopefully Trance can get a work pass or work just half a day or whatever

Also, Ultimate Street Nights tends to have a bigger turnout so that would be a last choice as it limits the number of runs we can make.

And don't forget, you bad boys running 13s or quicker need a helmet . . .

Yeah, but I think they charge a premium if you're out of area. I'm charged a dollar or more per toll when traveling in Houston.

I'd rather go on a Fast Friday since the full tree is used. Ultimate street night = instant green.

Time to dust off the ol' helmet!

I do not even know if that will work. The Parking lot is a biatch in Frisco.

I'm good for any of those nights. I'd lean towards 5/5 maybe to give everyone time to get there mods in before then.

I'm going to see what I can do driving a stick and how close to the advertised time of 14.25 I could get.

Who I leave in the dust won't matter.

Sunday night may not be that bad. They have some really remote areas to park if you don' mind the hike.

Piece-O-cake! I'd like to check out your car before hand, maybe on 4/9? When are you planning to get the V1?

You'll want to go by Autozone or equivalent and get you a "Add A Fuse" part. Makes the job easier. Also need some of those plastic tie-downs thingys. And some pieces of sponge to keep the cable in your headliner and center overhead console, if you have one.

Everything else you need comes with the V1. You might check and see if they have the 12' straight power cord otherwise you'll need to order that with the V1. And a 1 or 2 amp car fuse.
