Just booked a room at the comfort inn, the rates are $89 a night (down from $129) right now ($202 total for two nights w/ tax). I figure with the amount of people two rooms total (4-5 people per room) would probably suffice, so somebody might want to reserve another one.

Erik, I've been talking with Ryan... If I were to leave thursday evening I would arrive at your parents far too late so I'm going to shoot to be out of here friday morning maybe around 10ish so I/we can arrive around 8.

Not 100% sure what ryan wants to do, our logical merge point isn't till the NC/VA border on 77, from there it's a 6 hour haul. I'm thinking if we're on the road by 10, we'll meet up around 1 then would be coming through the 64/77 junction around 3:30-4ish?

I guess krumme messed up his intake manifold, does anybody have one he could borrow for the weekend? AFAIK he's trailering again so it could be popped on at the track and you could take it home with you.

I'll most likely be there for the Hyperdrive event.. I can't really afford a 3rd road course event for the summer (since I've already been to ITR Expo 10 and WMHM.10). I'll most likely see you guys there? lol

Ignored the pressure warning coming from his laptop. He slammed it closed and told it to shutup.

Cool deal, I've been putting up a massive search for a intake manifold for krumme to no avail.

Hopefully something works out for him.

My trans came back from red today with the 4.785 in it and a few bearings replaced that he saw fit. This will be my first event on my selects as well, should be interesting how much of a different car it's going to be.

The Final Drive alone will be quite the change. I think you will be very happy with the car. I love my Select's.

I will have to keep asking around for an IM.

So do you have the car back in your possession?

IM could easily be fixed with JB weld for the time being. In every bit of seriousness. That's what it's made for; cracks in aluminum casings like that. There's no positive pressure in there pushing out anyway.

Great idea Erik. The IM isn't exactly a quick and easy swap or I would offer my daily's.

Coolhand, IDK yet if I am going to come out... ahh I also have an offer to go to NYC for a day or two and a ride there with a place to stay.

That would also leave me time to see my family and the old lady <-- both I have not seen much of lately and I will have less of a chance once school starts in 2 weeks :?

Let me know how that final drive works out for you. I'm really tempted to get one.

Get one. You'll wet yourself.
