I figure theres gunna be tons of bugs on the road up there...might be a good idea to plan a stop at the car wash in grand bend(i think they still have one)

also....dont be surprised to see blocked off roads with cops pulling over cars to do checks....ride height, exhaust, headlights, turnsignals, horn.....

EDIT:

I like your paint job on the engine, very nice and clean!

yeah, there was something different on the staging area than sparta, very sticky...that might be the problem that everyone including myself couldn't do a good take off...
also, it was like 26degrees compare to 15 to 20degrees at sparta after 7pm, so the engine inject hot air and slows down the car...

ya thanks, i've been trying to keep the whole car in the "clean" look with the colour schemes and all that. The blue SIR that i raced 5 times, forget his name but he goes to LAC meets and sounds british, he said he ran a 15.8 @ sparta compared to the low 17's he was doing all day yesterday...i'm wondering what to expect myself......
