ouch, that is a painful one.

Gotta put in a day at work today, then its load an go, hope to be on the road by 8 and keep driving till we get there.

We leff monday with the idea of taking 3 days to get here from Ontario. 1 hr into the ride said screw it and kept driving. Got here yesterday @ 2.. They hauled us in @ the border and searched us..the only drama we encountered thus far

@unevolved: I just punched myself in the face and nuts for you. So sorry guys.

Unevolved-sorry to see that. I really wanted to see what you guys could do with nitrous instead of boost. That wasn't the outcome I expected.

OUCH!!! Honestly sorry to see that. I'll punch poop in the face and nuts for you.

What suspension setup do you have on that thing?

In reply to 93celicaGT2:

Nothing too special, intrax springs& bilstein sport struts. Almost a 2" drop up front and poor weight distribution make for a bumpy ride...

Currently@ cracker barrel in SC for lunch, onto charleston for dinner and relaxing later

Sorry to hear tales of testing gone wrong.

That's why I do all my testing on track!

Dayum! Sorry to hear about the windowed block. I was looking forward to racing with you guys again.

Cracker Barrel steak salads are my favorite sit-down road meal. Enjoy!

Just called and canceled the rooms, thankfully there were no cancellation fees.

Just one of those things, I guess. It really sucks, and from everything we knew it just shouldn't have happened like it did. We never thought we were flirting with disaster like we were. I don't know if that block was severely abused by its previous owner, or what. But whatever it was, it's over now.

You KNOW you're more than welcome to be/party with some hongs. Trust me, the party's a lot more fun when there's no pressure to win!!! Please come on down if you guys can make it.

^ yeah, what he said, come enjoy the fun. We'll help you forget your troubles :)

This!

Seriously, the Hongers would make an anti- party rally a party. If they had time we would export them to Westboro Baptist Church just to losen those guys up.

we're just leaving Cracker Barrel in Va. tb's just a few states ahead of us...

I am heading out this afternoon, just 900 miles to go, I get off easy.

Truck is alive and running, had a full test drive today, I am so ahead of the curve, unless you actually wanted it to look good too

in.

I really wish I could still make it, but I can't justify paying for everything without having a car there.

A. Pay for your banquet ticket and you're on team hong norrth.

II. Gas is cheaper when you're not towing.
