Well, things were going good until we got between Rock Springs and Evanston, WY.  We broke a trailer spring and tore all of the wiring up for the trailer brakes.

Sure glad we left early!

Ouch!

I should be passing through Rock Springs early in the morning (leaving Denver area near 10:00 pm so around 3:00 in the morning more or less)

If you need an extra set of hands send me a text message on the cell phone and I will see if we can meet up if I can help.

Did you set WY on fire? When we had problems the first thing the fire department asked was "is your race car OK?" They said it was no problem just another slow WY day. :cheers:

Maybe I should have started a fire! Midnight here I'm SLC, and we are still working on the trailer, it seems we have far bigger sues than we thought.

And if course it's raining.......

Glad you made it. Good racing.

I'm back home from Speedweek . While the cancellation was a bummer, it was great catching up with everyone.

We got the car teched, and sorted some new issues that popped up, in the Rainbow parking pot.

Next up, WOS! I hope to see everyone there!

Buddy.......I missed you. Too many hotel parking lots substituting for the pits.

I'll try WOS.

I've already been to Wendover 4 times this year. May as well shoot for 6 or 7.

Freud, I sure hope to catch you there and chat!

I've had the car at El Mirage, and at the salt, and have yet to make a pass! Lol!
