unfortunately the boys are off to montreal for the long weekend and won't be getting any wrench time until tuesday. they plan to have this thing racing at the next cscs event in 2 weeks. kinda tight timeframe i think since the block is still bare! :P

I keep running into the smallest time consuming problems with this car that keep holding me up. Luckily though Weirtech has been there to help me resolve my damn problems quickly. Aaron is the man! If you need any type of fabbing work done up, he's the man to go see!

hey mike, how about a truck ride to and from the race? i just got the go ahead from the wife to go to the race for saturday. it is just saturday right? also, if you are having trouble getting an exhaust made, let me know and i can probably hook you up as this week looks slow in the shop. give me a shout. i'd really like to see your car up and running as you have put a lot of effort into it yourself.

Hey Aaron, I really appreciate your offer. I can't thank you enough but it's still not going to happen. I just spoke with Zeeman, and he's booked up for the next two days. No tune, no race
