Anyone going to Houston?

If not, how about Ardmore? We have been wanting to check out the track...

Kinda what I was getting at. I haven't heard a lot of enthusiasm about going to Houston.

Cool

We were offered Redline on a Saturday night in Oct. If we contact them soon we might still be able to get it.

Let me know

I'd be for Ardmore probably... Jetta may make it to Houston, but not the truck... That's just a long drive for a single day event, especially with long staging lane lines...

Whenever there are projects on the list maybe cooler weather or something the shop is ready...

Don't know that they are. Just that they were right in the middle of Ike.

A little off topic, but since we have a thread open...............

Thanks to Tyler and Justin (Elgin), my Jammer 3's are installed. The first thing I noticed was the added power , and the second thing was that a 220k mile, stock clutch tends to slip. Even with the Smarty on the "Economy" setting, I can make it slip. That said, they do add quiet a bit of zip and the smoke cleans up quickly. I can make them smoke, but it's not hard to control. No doubt that by Bryan popping and calibrating them, it made a lot of difference. I was hoping they would improve mileage over the old 275's, but gage movement so far does not indicate that will be the case. Boots had the old 275's cleaned and put them in his truck Friday night. He said he could tell a difference with his XZT+ off and a big difference with it on.

Since a new clutch is in the distant future, I guess it will be a while before I get to really enjoy them.
