    Well the roundup and just some free time. I have been out of town (in a Motel now) since the day after the roundup, but for Saturday ad Sunday nights. Looks like a got about another month of this out of town crap.

    Heck I havent even got the car back to 5 lugs yet.

    Hope everyone is doing fine............

    I agree......

    I have always said the best part of the round-up is the bench racing and just hanging out around the cars at the end of the night.........and the early mornings of the next day? :p
    P.S. Fred, I think they finally "straightened" out that "curvey" hallway we had to walk down Friday night, wait! I mean Saturday morning just before dawn! :rolleyes: ;)

    Why do you have to wait until next year? Why not have another? Why not have roundups more often like every season? It doesn't make sense to me that everybody can have a great time and not want to do it more often?:confused:

    Todd, I know how ya feel, I been spending at least 2 nites on the road a week. Sounds like you are doing the 4 and 5 nites a week. Those Motel rooms just bout make me go nuts. But it pays the rent for now. Luckily this week is only 1 nite out for me!!

    Hey Todd.....

    what track are you going to?
    Last weekend was the street car shoot-out at Ohio Valley, them cars were flyin'!
    It just makes me wonder how much of a car is "street" when it runs 4.80's in the 1/8th mile. :eek: :p

    Its a track in West Virigina (about where the sniper is at). They run on Thursday nights, lots of imports and nothing what runs at the valley on street car nights. Wish we would of got my timing right at the roundup, would love to run at the valley in the street car entry class.
