I'll be there... this be the first step off of my 'drag racing hiatus'. had to take a break and get caught up the house and finances.... mostly the later.

I have always had good luck EARLY on Saturday but not last year. I might try friday this year. I'll have to take a day off though.

I take friday off every year. There is a lot of good stuff there on friday that is gone long before saturday. I have gotten into the habit of stopping by thursday afternoon on my way home from work, and scoping stuff out. I'm all for a meet and greet, couple of beers around breakfast time.

Yeah, 10-4 on the finances part...

We just took a hit this week on the transmission (what the hell is with me and transmissions ?) in our Honda Odyssey van. $3000 to get it rebuilt. *ouch*

My own TH400 rebuild soap opera is gonna stretch out for a bit...

Damn honda's....

I use the K2500 for the family vehicle; we don't go far anyway. So gas mileage isn't much of a issue. If something goes wrong with it, I can deal with it myself. I finally have a good scanner. now I can deal with pretty much anything but an alignment.

as far as turbo 400's go

Here is a thread from the buick guy's that helped me alot : http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=69003 I used the Ron Sessions book too. I found alot of this was just things that i do at work seperatly. what happened to the 400 ? I havn't been on here much in the last year... (I'll fix that)
