^^^ What kind of parts do you have left laying around?

If you end up road tripping to Houston again, we can put you to work doing something.

You know where the Lemon Secret Proving Ground is.

Ive got a stock Top mount intercooler for an FC in my garage as well... you can scratch that off the list. I just got a real job, so my weekends are free. If you guys would like I can try to make a trip down there one of the next few weekends, bring my goodies and help get everything together. I can weld fairly decently, and can help put the longblock and all together at least...

Ok, cool. As soon as my first check comes in I will make the trip down there. It will probably be the weekend of the 31st before I could make it.... unless you guys have got crazy Halloween plans already in which case I'd still want to work on the thing, lol.

Hey I think we still have thows Power cut off switches that we got at the track, they are in one of your boxes.

Also what about putting the battery inside the car this time, will give us more room for the IC piping

2011 Schedule:

TEXAS & GULF
Feb 26-27, 2011: MSR Houston, Angleton TX
April 23-24, 2011: Eagles Canyon Raceway, Decatur TX
June 4-5, 2011: MSR Houston, Angleton TX
October 1-2, 2011: MSR Houston, Angleton TX
December 17-18, 2011: Texas Motor Speedway, Fort Worth TX

Anyone notice that Lousyana is missing? That sucks.

Eagles Canyon should be a lot nicer in April than the Pressure Cooker it was this summer!

June in Houston isn't any nicer but when we are suffering from heat exhaution - at least our friends at home can point and laugh!

If they add a couple Lousyana races - thats a lot of damn racing.
