Hey Ron,

Yes, I asked this week and the answer was there was "no Friday planned". I did look though and you are correct, they have a Friday test and tune listed. I just sent them another e-mail and will update you when I get a response.

David, I appreciate it. I tried calling them a little earlier, but didn't get anyone. We have always tested Fri night for this show and I hope they have one this time.

Ron

No buddy,........I am not coming down with the 96' Red Ram this time.
I am waiting on parts to completely rebuild my rear Dana 70 Differential.
With 302,000 miles on it now, it has begun "howling" sometimes when I am running down the highway and has also started "clicking" around corners sometimes. I don't want to race or dyno with it until I get that rear differential all fixed.

Not sure if I will make this one or not now, thanks to Superlift. I put by t-case indexing ring on but it needs a different sill that they did not send so it is just pouring tranny fluid out. They said "some transmissions need this seal", guess I am that "some people". Anyway, not sure if I can get the sill in time. Will not take but 45 min to put it back together if I can get it in time.

I'd like to be there as well.

I'm just now getting my trans to act like I want shift-wise. Getting a new set of tires this Thursday. Going to the local 1/8 mile track Thursday night to dial in the OD shift point and a couple of other things.

If all goes well, we'll see you good folks Saturday and see if we can best my last at "The Rock".
