    Me too...of course that's cause I'm still working on my friggin car at night. :rolleyes: I should be stabbing the toploader in tomorrow. Just finished my complete rebuild on it this afternoon...it looks real nice and should work great. I'm worried about my starter though. I don't think it's going to fit the standard shift bell housing and I just purchased one of those nice mini starters. Oh well, I can always save it for one of my other cars if I have to buy a different one.
    I love this thrashing!!! :drink:

    The drag racing starts at 4:30. I dont remember what time it stops but I'm thinking around 10. I guess you will have to supply your own dinner. Not sure if there will be an open concession stand. Maybe we can get some pizzas delivered.

    FWIW: The link to Windy Hollow Dragway on the MCCI Events Schedule site is incorrect - it leads to the circle track forum. The correct link is http://www.windyhollowdragway.com/.

    And the date for Saturday is incorrect (and I promise not to mention it again ;) )

    See ya there!


    edit: Doh! (Thanks Don)

    Don it would be a cryin shame if a couple of Mavericks from out of town came in and cleaned house in box/no box class that night...poor ole Kentucky boys...I bet they like cheese with their whine...:yup:




    smack and doublesmack:biglaugh:

    Mike, racing starts at 4:30.....until 10:30. Last year we were all raced out by 10.

    The consession stand will be open. I talked to the track owner about ordering some pizza. He said he would work it out....I might need someone to spear head that little project.....it would help me a bunch.

    Don......me buy :cool: I did not see that in the contract :evilsmile But I would :tiphat:
