This one goes out to everyone who is going to participate in the upcoming 500.... race or chase. I want to wish you all a fun, exciting and most importantly a SAFE race. I hope everyone does well and crosses the finish line. I will be there racing the 1615 car where I am the DOR. If you see a guy taking a bunch of pics of your class 3 then it is most likely my dad or I taking some spy photos (haha j/k).

I am leaving Saturday 5/26 to start pre-running. We will be prerunning on bikes and in a buggy so if there is anyone out there who would like to tag along with us feel free to call me or PM me. We are working on a prerun schedule for the whole week right now. If anyone is interesed I can post a copy of our sched so you can see if it works with your time frame. I just wanted to put this out there because I don't like seeing people prerun alone (unless they want to) and stranded out in the desert for the night.

Good Luck and feel free to call:

Thanks. :cool:

I know a kid that was complaining of misfiring in his motorcycle. Upon investigating he was bouncing it off the rev limiter. Shift That Thing!
Good Luck.

Haha, that is my back in the top pick of the trailer. The guy sitting in the car in the other photos is the owner. If you start talking to him watch out, he can talk your ear right off.

Chupas - I hope you get that misfiring problem solved soon, so you can drink more Tecates at contingency.... actually if you don't get it fixed I guess that would cause you to drink more... hhhmmm.

I am out, see you guys down there!
