only a few days away and no hype, no banter, no updates, here or on the ESTA's web....anybody going to bother showing up? Say what you want about Mike Hills, but he definitly can get racers charged up to run there sleds.....if it wasn't for Shock Doc and Forumalla 111 and n2o Ron's ttt we would be in the dark

I guess I just miss reading all the hoopla before the event

Im going there just to make sure your stuff is shiny and your cooler is properly filled and chilled, then proceed to empty your cooler.

everything is shiny at all times ( at least thats what people say) cooler is always full and ready for action

I am willing to bet that Hills will not be able to stay away . He will make an appearance at some point even if he is wearing a disguise . He will not be able to help himself . He will not be able to stay away . He must see what is going on .  I heard he was goign to be on n20ron and LBL/SPAZ/purlplepoepleeeaters or whatever the name of the days , pit crew . Now remember this is  only rumor at this point .

Ok serious question. What is the legal height a person has to be to drive a 1000 prostock? Mike how tall are you again? Can ya reach the pedals yet? hehehe

I will be sitting behind NOs's trailer with a Tyvek suit on to keep from gettin any foreign matter on his sled,  taking any wagers on the exact time of the Kings appearance. I'll make a board with 30 minute increments and sell squares like a superbowl board.

 

Clean Room Technologies called and wanted to use Mike Truck/Trailer. Only problem, is its cleaner than their labratory with the air scrubbers, tactile floor mats, the whole shebang! 

but but but, chainsaws are messy!!

we will definitly be at Coopers friday....always a good time

 

we will be spraying the dog snot out of that 800 the old fashion way....no controller.....no test time either! I'm sure its going to be a great time seeing everyone again....just hope mother nature wants to play also.....

Actually I may come over for a bit Saturday morning. Ron and LBL asked me to stop by and tech their sleds for them personally, and maybe give Heath's a quick tune while I'm there. I wouldn't miss a quick peek at Daly building three sleds in the pits and Vern blowing a gasket by around noon thirty for nothing. By 1pm I'll be on my way up to the river for a stress free weekend. Gotta go look at a boat for sale in A-Bay.

That's my point, I won't have to watch for long if I am leaving by 1pm.
