El Mirage Oct. 25th & 26th
- Thread starter Kat
- Start date
I will probably be heading out roughly noon. Tomorrow is tech.
Bring the stuff I always forget.
What is that? Hell, I dunno. I forgot it.
truck and trailer are connected and since we moved.. i grabbed my tool cart and threw it in the back of the truck under the toneau. So i will have tools. What i have... i dunno. I have my tech 2 in there as well as my vacuum gauge for the duramax fuel fitting....we won't need it but it's in there.
This will be a successful weekend !
oh and i just checked. I do have what you forgot, so we're good to go !

Sorry we cant go but I think the hg's will finally be getting repaired next week, but im not sure.
First off I need to Thank all those that came to help us.
Ralph, Johnny, Jeremy, Chris and his brother in law Chris the "Chute packer from Arizona", Stewie and is brother in law, Jason and his girl friend :hug: Also to Robert for all the work this past week prior to the event :hug:
Casper first and only pass was 155.x Pat was having a fuel issue. We think it was fact that we only had 1/4 tank. Pat and Stewie were checking Casper out with a TechII and couldn't find anything wrong. Johnny siphoned diesel from his truck into Casper. We where in the staging lanes for the 2nd pass and we where the 2nd vehicle in line when they called it a day
Even though we had thought this was going to be our last LSR event for the year we are going to try to swing the Nov. 15 and 16th event.
But, two good things happened. Casper is now legal to run 200 and Pat pulled the chute for the first time with no problem.
Hopefully we will get time to get Casper on the Dyno.
Again Thanks to everyone for the help :hug:

Finalized the destruction of the kodiak bed last night . Went for a high speed flogg across the lake bed last night and came across some nasty trenchs . All I could say to Greg was hold on . LOL Bam Bam Bam ...... Then went back and picked up the whole crew for a trip to town and again flogged it across the lake bed and hit the same damn trenchs , just not as bad .
Blew out both rear fenders on bed and broke back of bed in half . Only thing holding it together on passenger side is tailgate . :rofl:
Handled it great though , just revalved the shocks up front 2 days prior . good thing for that . Truck took it well . The bed didnt .
Good thing for a new bed in backyard . I think it is toast this time .
Had a great time out there , dinner in town was good last night , and dinner tonight was great sitting around talking BS with Ralph , Pat , Kat , Allison , Jeremy , and a wired for sound Tommy Pickles jumping around. :rofl: Found a Java monster can on my back seat after I got home . Hmmmm
hahahahahah
All in All , great times !!
Pickles you remind me of myself , Allison an Angel as always . I just wish I could think as fast as you talk . I cant keep up .
Pat let me know if you need me to come out and do anything .
