6 days till we go to WOS!!!
This is my first WOS event and am very excited to get to the salt this year.
Everyone is welcome to come hang out in our pit. We ALWAYS have a nice selection of craft cured and dried meat snacks, beverages AND lucky avocados (<I am not joking about the before mentioned......).
Our pit is a clothing optional pit and while 'typically' I remain clothed (*can not speak directly for my crew) YOU will not be judged nor shunned for donning natural wares if that is your fancy. We also do no discriminate on the basis of religion, race, sex, political affiliation (Ok, Nazis and fundamentalist jehadist will be dealt with accordingly) or any other aspect of world wide society is accepted.
This year we have a brand spanking new motor, turbo and are geared and have the HP for 255+.....but are only 'really' looking for 4 runs at 206 mph and plan on doing that in 5th gear......We have also cleaned up many ugly stuff and things the tech inspectors have been on the fence about.....
I would also like to congratulate Team McLeish for besting my H/FMS record. Its nice to see someone else running in our class.....and....I have every intent on getting that record over 200 next SW [it always was after we got our hats with the blower]! (*and I am always there for you guys if you need to borrow parts or have questions. I am not joking....).

! want to wish everyone a safe and exciting time at the World of Speed. I cannot begin to explain the wonderfull time I had last year. Driving cross country and making it into the 130 club. I now wear the patch proudly on my car show shirt. This year we were supposed to leave today and run for the 150 club. I had a rude awakening in April at the ECTA meet in Ohio when I melted mytransmission. Found out how expensive a weekend can be with a U-Haul truck and trailor rental. Got a new trans built ready to go went back to Ohio ran 137mph 6700rpm 3.73 gear. NO OVERDRIVE. Now I'm really not having any fun. Froze in April. 105 in July. Any way met some wonderfull people and love it. Ruined my Bonneville plans so it will give me more time to prep for next year. I try and keep tabs on everyone thru this forum. THANKS SLIM. Ray I look forward to your bloggs on the Monte Carlo. If you see the boys from the Hot Rod and Gun Club let me know. For those first timers or if you haven't gone. GO!this was one of the highlights of my life.
Counting the days until next year

Kerry, she's driving the truck right now - as I type - as we're southbound on I-15 getting near the Idaho/Utah border. We'll stay in SLC tonight and get to Wendover tomorrow mid day -- so there's your update on her recovery from the high side. She won't ride the bike at the WoS -- still sore. But dang it, someone's got to see what last winter's horsepower injection has done, so I guess I'll get to bite the bullet and see what the bike'll do. Yee-HAH!
Best wishes - and we look forward to hearing more of your own adventures.
