Good news, hope it all goes well for ya. Unfortunately over here nothing is happening at our 1 and only SPR. Our Mopar Nats has been cancelled (31 July>2 Aug) but there is a glimmer of hope for some T&T's later in August. My mate is bursting at the seams to try out his new Big stroker motor combo out after spending a bunch of cash on it plus a Dana/727/converter and a caltrac set up, basically everything that will handle 720ftlbs, he's previous set up was a stockish 440 running in the 12.6's, he should be in the low 10's with his weight.
Good father and son time. 
and he's working on the car, I thought you said he only likes to drive .lol

Excellent memory and thanks for remembering that. As you know I love my Son or at 31 he wouldn’t be living with me. I just know he needed some “tough love” and a good kick in the azz. I called him at 10:30 this morning after my cortisone shot in both knees. I asked him if he wanted to drive my Duster this weekend and he not only said he’ll ya but I will start checking out the car tonight after work. When he came home we had a 5 minute sit down. I said I don’t care if you have a good time with your friends drinking after racing but not till 4am. I’m not spending entry money to party all night. Number two is we are splitting entry fees and winnings 50/50. Round money goes towards the alcohol I buy at 160.00 a drum. We had a great time working in the shop sipping a few, listening to music, bs’ing, and getting the car in race condition. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. He is 10 times the driver as I am WHEN HE’S NOT TIRED FROM LATE NIGHT FUN
Excuse the Headman header noise guys but we put s little heat in her tonight. Love the headers but when you go from W2 heads, to Edelbrock heads, to 360-1 Indy heads the flanges are super hard to seal up plus add in all the slip joints. Slight chance of rain Saturday but we will be loaded ready to go.
Ohhh well Matt lost 5th round when he spun a little and lost .01 in the sixty foot. All in all a hot, fun day at the track

Looks like he was mowing the tree down today. Any racing tomorrow?
Schedule for next weekend is late getting out but I’m hearing first points race back at keystone next Friday and test n tune street Outlaws Saturday. May take the motorhome and race let him race Friday and party some the rest of the weekend with friends.

Box or no box?
My car is set up for box class but last year I put a Just In Time button in it for some bottom bulb racing in the future. My car leaves pretty hard so I needed some adjustment for leaving on third green. One of these days I’ll wire it in for some double classing. Matt did good yesterday but he wasn’t feeling great. First time out and man the sun and heat drained us both.

So you guys were using a box yesterday?
Yes.
After last Saturday’s heat I’m looking for Friday nights first night of points. Hopefully we will get it in.
Barona opened up the other week out here, but I found out too late. Open 4th of July weekend so going then, taking the a Dart out for the first time.
Would be nice to be back in the Burgh for the 4th. My little boy loves the parades, only time I let him run on the street while he picks up candy!
