Car is at HPP for tuning
Looks like Doug (Hatton) is on the books for Monday morning, and mine will be done Monday afternoon. Matt Voris, saw your name on the big board too, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday?
Hopefully, they'll get all wormed up on Dougs car before they get to mine!

Downtime's made 625/515 through the M6 before. I think Manny's just smoothing out a few things for him. I'm hoping mine will be somewhere around there as well. I'm bringing 3 pullies with me and the KB gigantic TB, so I should be able to make whatever we feel comfortable with. I've got 640/550 in the back of my head.... we'll see.

 I'm too poor to keep up with this crowd, the nitrous will have to do for a while.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

All blower cars deal with heat soak issues to some extent. Compressing air = heat. Some more than others.
