    Mitch,
    It sounds like you have been working too hard, take a break and drink a beer.

    Roll car out of garage complete with Houston grit still on it....check.
    Put in trailer to go testing....check
    Beat the piss out of it on the 1.3 at cresson....check

    Car performed flawlessly so here is the new checklist to be done by thursday.

    1. Install oil cooler.....maybe.
    2. put air in the tires.
    3. put gas in the car.
    4. Check oil level.
    5. Clean air filter.
    6. remove mufflers cause I want to get people in Navasota to come see the races.
    7. Put car in trailer for TWS

    Once on track:

    1. Stay out of the new "Mosty Vortex"
    2. Count the number of winged cars on track....might need two hands! :wink:
    Ah, fugg it.
