    I should be able to go on the 14th, weather pending. I'll let you know as the day gets closer.

    I hope the long-range forecast changes by then (which is very likely). Right now they are calling for a 40% chance of showers in Union Grove that day with high of 54, and low of 40. That is why I scheduled 2 possible dates, since weather is so unpredictable this time of year. I think this month will be my best (and possibly last) chance to break into the 12s bone stock. I hope it happens that night!

    The forecast is looking good for Wednesday, and it looks like a few other G8s will be there. I hope there will be a number of us from WI & NW IL!!

    It looks like weather will be cooperating for tomorrow. Winds out of the south (I LOVE TAIL WINDS!), and decent temp and humidity. Predictions show Density Altitudes starting at about 1700 and dropping off to just below 1000. That isn't great, but it's not too bad either. I am really looking forward to this!

    I wish the track was closer and I didn't have to work 2nd shift. I always wanted to see what one of my vehicles could do. I am hoping to get my car to the dyno before summer though to see what kind of power it has before I start doing mods. Found out the other day there's a dyno about 10 miles from my house and the guy has been involved with some high HP builds. What's the going rate for dyno time? The guy quoted 150/hr.

    We are shooting for next Wednesday too. Last night was pretty decent. We had 3 GXPs there, 2 M6 (both stock), and 1 A6 (full BMR poly kit). It was amazing what a difference the poly kit, even on a car with RS-As, did. Jason (Woodys GXP) was a full tenth quicker in his 60 fts than either of us. He ran a best of 13.08, to my best of 13.20, and the other M6 GXP was at 13.26. It was a good night. Maybe you can join us next Wednesday. The air is supposed to be even better then!

    I think I raced 2 different WRXs, one of them definitely had an STi badge, don't remember about the other. I really don't remember much about their trunks, since I was mostly looking at their hoods...... in my rearview mirror ;-), LOL!
