Every morning I play "doctor" with her, errr... nurse. :eek:

I inject 4 different syringes of drugs into her IV. If this doesn't work, they will have to operate again for the 3rd time.

I'm still getting the truck ready, much of my safety stuff has to be recertified. Got the cage and licensing done, trying to find a place to do my Halon and Coldfire. Harnesses are going to Texas Monday for recert. The rest of the gear is still OK.

Two years in the salt and dirt have taken it's toll on Casper. If you saw the under side of the truck, you'd think it was in North Dakota with 200,000 miles on it, not SoCal with 12k miles.

It is unlikely we can bring our "A" game to the event, we are running out of time. The goal is to pass tech and run some clean stable passes again after the change-over. And it certainly doesn't help that all three of the local tracks are out of operation right now.

Thanks everyone!

I am very happy with the results of last nights runs. It was definately a true test on my steering setup, the truck was launching incredibly hard. Now the crunch starts to get it prep'd for DDN. I am hoping to shave a few more 10ths by then.

Might be easier just to cut the leg off.:D Just kidding Kat.

I took one look at those videos and said there is no way in hell I'm taking my truck to Bonneville, I'd fly and rent a car. I wonder if they have something in the rental contract about no driving on the salt flats?

Pat you don need the Halon or Coldfire for drag racing, what does that stuff weigh anyway?

Fire stuff is about 38lb total.
