Title: Stop The Insanity!
Post by: Island bugs on September 01, 2006, 10:51:02 PM

Wow This year has been a lot of work. Just when I think it's all under control something else bites me in the a$$. We missed yet another Super Shifter weekend in Bremerton last weekend. The car is back together So.... if we can get on the first ferry to Port Angeles in the morning AND if my old van is up for the trip we are towing down to Sacramento for the Bug-O-rama. Wish us luck! I'll be looking for Shane in the pits on Sunday. Wayne

Well Folks, we made it down and back with the shiny side up. Drove all day Saturday and finished the drive Sunday am. First hit off the trailer qualified us third in the PRA 10.90 class with a 10.93 at 122. Second run broke a rocker stud in the burnout box. Fixed the stud in time and got ready for round 1 against Turbobob (awesome car for sure). Unfortunalety the car stumbled at the start line and by the time I got back on it and chased Bob after his MONSTER wheelie, I got out of shape at the top end and had to lift.  Bob was just waiting to finish me off at the end of the track. I have to give thanks to the Dodge gods for dragging our asses all the way down and back and to Robert for all the help with the car and with keeping me awake for the 32 hrs of driving. Great to see Shane and Geoff there to represent as well. Wayne
