So, I went out in the garage just now on sort of a whim. . .

Moved a few boxes, cleared a few spider webs. . .

Opened a door. Sat down. Took a deep breath. Rotated the knob for Battery #2, flipped the switch for the left fuel pump. . .paused. . .got out. Looked at the dust lights. . .got back in. . .switched the ignition to ON and pushed the Black Button. No hesitation. . .It was like he was just sitting there waiting. Almost like a good dog when you've been away on a long trip.

It's a good thing that El Chivo needs a torque converter or the neighbors would have been filing complaints about a goofy a$$ looking silver ranger with a bunch of tube and fiberglass tearing up their front yards.

I haven't been inside the cockpit for many months. While I won't go into what my complete response to his willingness to get back in the fight was.. .I will say this:

The Mint 400 is March 21-23 in Las Vegas. Seems reasonable to me. . .


RGR Lives.

Roman,
Obviously. . .we are going to need to talk :) I'll be back from Vegas in a week.

Crew: Watcha doin' in March?

This should be far enough out to file all the appropriate forms for the Hall Pass . . .

That was my thought exactly. I turned in the first one last night.

I think I could ante up for route books and such if they're going to be on line...

Crew types.. .don't forget to check the RGR site. . .

and


People that would like to crew for the race, there are one or two spots still available. Hit me up.

The biggest expense is the time. Kick in a few bucks for and a shared hotel room. . .we eat cheap, stay cheap. . .etc. Between 8 people, it is probably cheaper than a weekend of wheelin'. But the experience is PRICELESS.

Hall pass filled out and APPROVED!!!

Before I left the TC I was wondering about El Chivo. That is one of the things I was going to talk to you about before I left, but things got complicated. Another story!

Here's my plan. I won't be able to wrench since I'll be in Yuma/Mesa this winter. BUT, Vegas just happens to be on my way home..... :woot:....so count me in!!

I love it when a plan comes together.

Can't wait!
