    Glad to see you made it home Ok Don. seems some of us had a few small problems even me. Arrived home at 7pm on Monday nite. the A/C when south coming thru Chicago. at noon on Monday. The 12 volt fan seized up, so back to the old trusty --260 A/C.All in all a good trip for me, about 2300 miles total. Not bad for a PU with 180 thosand miles on it. did not burn a drop of oil either. Am looking forward to next year. TTFN RON(y)

    Well I guess I missed that thread, but it fits him to a T, I suppose I am back on his ignore list again, that is if I ever got off of it. :)

    Sounds good Don,,, I think. Why no full passes on track? Trailer tires were all replaced last year weren't they? $12 for a $200 tire, you gotta explain that one too!

    Hawkco..The burgers were ready last Saturday. I called but you didn't come. :D

    Dave, Truck tire seperated on the way home. It was still under warranty. They replaced it and only charged me the mounting fee.

    Also, I just put the new engine in on Thursday night before I left. Didn't realize it before I got to the track but my Optima Batteries took a dump. Lost power right off the line, then picked up and ran fast through 1st and 2nd, then sputtered and I had to back off.
