    Unless something changes the 55 will miss the first season opener since we started racing in CMC.

    Well, the government could reopen before the season opener - would that be enough change? Or the government could be closed for the first time ever during the season opener, is that strange enough to get the 55 out?

    Broken car?

    I'm at NAS Lemoore in CA. We don't leave here until Thursday and it will take three days to get home. I have been off and out of state for two weeks and I have not touched the car since COTA when it failed to finish due to some charging issue. I think we will skip this one.

    This off season has kinda sucked. Took xmas to NYE off with no plans other than prepping the car and getting some truck maintenance and minor things done.

    Fixed one thing on the truck, got sick, ended putting the car away untouched. Blew rack seal on the truck on a trip, spent $2k getting it fixed because I had zero time/inclination to try it myself.

    Now scrambling to do a few minor things to the car this weekend and #sending it.

    Fortunately I fixed the blown clutch hose from October and everything else at this point is a nice to have, but wish I got more done.

    I feel your pain on the car. I dusted mine off for the dyno day. It's going back on track in roughly the same condition it came off at the end of the season last year - same tires even!

    I agree with y'all. We got the old house sold right before Christmas so that was a huge weight off the shoulders. Then got the "spare" engine back out of the race car and got the heads along with the old motor to the machine shop right after Christmas. Got the engine back a week ago and Marshall helped me get it in the car and running this previous Saturday. Talk about the best brother ever, always helping out!!!
    Now just need to do the normal nut / bolt car, clean wheels, check fluids, etc to be ready for Houston.

    That sucks not having Jerry and Casey there, we'll miss seeing you at the opener. Hope the repairs go smooth and we can see y'all at Cresson.

    I’m out due to work. I’ll tell myself that I would’ve totally finished the LS swap in time but now we’ll never know...
