Mike....saw you going down Highway 5 this evening in McKinney driving the silver goat. Looked like you were playing a little......smokeshow.. pulling out of Ghetto-zone. Jared and I pulled beside you (feeling a little froggy).........coincidently....after dropping off the RV from this weekend. Not sure if you noticed us. I would have called you but I was involved in a conversation at that moment. Talk to you soon I hope.

Dang Brian, hate to hear that. Hang in there.

Any idea where you picked it up? Since you're working over here, we sometimes share the same eating joint. Ha!

Found the answer....I think.
The Crew Cab has same back seat and leg room as Mega..... just not the 8" (storage) behind the rear seats. That went into the 8" bed.

It's a bummer deal no lie... Really have zero idea where I picked it up...

It is definitely draining... This is day 4 now with fevers spiking in the 102-103 range... Really not enough energy to do much of anything... Coughin up lots of crap.. lots... Had some fluid building up in one of my lungs which wasn't too cool... Doc gave me some meds to work on clearing that up... Other than that gave me some thermaflu which isn't a cure or anything just treats some of the symptoms...


Really hoping today is the end... Really need to get back to work...

Hope you get better soon, Brian!

Prayers sent...




No smokeshow from me, Robert - I try to lay low around the coppers!
Can't avoid the soot when releasing the SouthBend in 2nd...

Steffy was like when a truck smoked us out (we didn't know it was you) - dudes are always trying to run me, but I only unleash the beast for pinks!

I was only messing with you because IT WAS you... I still had a load a firewood and a muddy ATV in the bed anyway. I thought you would recognize my truck.

Looks like a big set of storms coming through this evening/tonight. Multi-inch rains, high winds. Batten down the hatches, boys.

Who all wants to meet at the IHop at 75 and Spring Valley in Richardson at 8:00 AM Saturday morning. I'm thinking breakfast and then to the track.

Looks like we're out for Crandall - too busy moving, and Team XLR8R is sponsoring the Longview dyno next weekend... hate to miss it!

That works! What's the southbound exit?
Justins riding with me so he's in also!
May have two Okie Boys following me down.

Need info! Spread the word.
I'm not too excited about another dyno at Speedtex (the 24th).
Got HP and Tq readings?

Yes, south bound. Exit Spring Valley, go through the light and it's on the right.

Talking

I can't wait. I think I'm gonna make a few runs down the track. It will be my first time on the strip so I'm super excited. I just hope they have a good showing.

Based on the talk on Competition Diesel.... lots of trucks coming!
Get there early if you want to make "Test & Tune runs. Found out they are not letting anyone run during day (between class events), like some tracks do.
All practice will be before racing starts (at 11, I think). We'll be there 9:30 ish. Come find us!
