You said you weren't going to tell anybody about that...
The video sounds like the internal conversation I have every race.

Too funny. He must work at my local Lowe's.
What the heck was that... It looks like a 3rd gen rear glass window loover on the hood. I would like to see a picture of the owner.
Had a good day at the dyno. After 10 pulls trying to figure out why the MAF voltage was pegging at idle ended up being a bad jumper harness from Granatelli... Oh well. Fixed that and we were off and running. Ended up tuning to 381/395 before checking to see if SAE Smoothing 5 was selected. Of course, they are running their dyno on STD so it looks better for their customers. As soon as it was "reset", that number dropped to 347/359. We started pulling timing from the high points and ended up at 316/335 for my cert pulls. Water temps were 180/210/210, so it was representative of what I'm going to run on track. Also, it was pull #22-24 for the cert, so the motor and driveline were WELL warmed up.
So, my new minimum weight is 3015. I'm expecting 2 45lb elevator plates to be added for ECR.
Took the wife and kids to In-n-Out Burger in Fort Worth. It was my first time (as was the kids), and I just don't see what the big deal is. It was good, but not cry on TV, stand in line for days (or even minutes - as was the case today), top news story good......
But I have at one time driven from Yuma, AZ to Phoenix, AZ (2+hours) for a Whataburger before. I guess I understand the desire, but not to the degree I've seen for In-n-Out.
I love me an "animal style' In-n-Out double double from time to time but I find the hype here in Texas just ridiculous and an indication of one of a number of things (just how lemming-like people can be, how the pace of transplants (yes I am one - but my son reminds me all the time that he is a Native Texan :) ) has increased over the last few years - used to be just N. Dallas but now FW is seeing it too)...I hate lines of any sort and a 2+ hour line for a pint size burger with just-OK fixin's is just silly - same people that want to pay more taxes I suppose.
One of my clients HAS to stop at that place everytime we are in SoCal but there really are no lines there...it really is in-and-out even at a busy time of day.
I like 5 guys burgers better than In-N-Out and I like Whataburger as far as a "fast burger" better than either of those. My favorites in town include Kincaids, Dunston's, Scotty P's...several others that had great burgers but went out of business include Rooty's (about 10 years ago) and Island Burgers (I heard there is one around town but have not found it).
But if you want the BEST burger in DFW - heck, anywhere in my not so humble opinion ;) - come by Casa del Calder. Maybe for ECR I should add some 'Calder Dubbles' to the menu...double patty "sewn" together with onions, mozza, pepperoni inside, wrapped in bacon and topped with cheddar - the burger meat mix is a secret family recipe but includes fresh ground rosemary from our garden. ;)
Watched my Aggies lose a second straight 17+ point halftime lead.
I'm putting the Camaro, the trailer, and the F250 out on the street for sale at $500 each.
Dammit!
