The truck still hasn't moved under it's own power. If it doesn't tomorrow, I suspect I'll be bringing the backup car.

Even though I'm not coming down this year, I sure do enjoy reading all of these updates! Hoping I'll be back next year, possibly with a couple friends!

One is ready, two to go...

Worked on budget sheets tonight as well. Tomorrow I will get the other two buttoned up.

I figured it was appropriate given my line of work

Budget sheet is pissing me off. Open office crashed mid spreadsheet and lost everything, need to do it all over.

Loading tomorrow.

Do you still need me to bring those wheels? Trying to confirm with everyone that wanted things so I don't overpack

Is there still a Challenge banquet/dinner of sorts? I sort of barnacled onto a team and now I'm wondering if I'm going to be the guy standing in the lobby listening to laughter through the doors.

Yes, hopefully you can still get a ticket, but I'd suggest you email Rick or Ed about it ASAP.

I'm pretty sure the team shirts are going to give me away. They're awesome by the way.

Awsome!

Just felt like giving you a hard time. Not intended to actually offend.

Were you able to get tickets for the feast?

mazdeuce MegaDork

Yes, bought a ticket. The email says they'll deliver it. Not sure how that's going to work but I put "for mazdeuce" in the message and I figure that'll do.

Not offended. I was trying figure out how to say "it's not like that" but every time I typed it I added "baby" to the end and that sounded awkward.

Trailer now has working brakes and bearings, found some scraps to make an intake pipe out of, found some red paint that looks Volkswageny enough, purchased industrial quantities of real PA made Yuengling, mounted drag slicks, trolling Craigslist offering $8.50 for every semi complete nitrous system I come across. I'm nearing complete preparation for this event

Car loaded. Now to assemble the track tool kit and get everyone's parts loaded. And clean out the truck.

Last year "tickets" were wristbands given to you at registration.

Spreadsheet done. The dipstick was safe last year, its a goner this year. Pulling dipstick and popping a cap on the tube is $18.97, got me back down under $2017 by $3. only other way to get that much back would be using the old plug wires

Car's ready, trailer prepped, book almost done but I can't find a download for the "$2017 Challenge Vehicle Information Form". I've got a hard copy I could fill out by hand, but that doesn't seem too professional. Anyone know where to find it?
