    Nationals Prep Updates?

    Ok, many of you nationals folks are leaving for Mid-O in less than a week.
    What are you status updates?
    Last minute thrashings?
    Unexpected car developments?
    Already loaded and ready to go?
    Forget the racin', just planning for the TX AI/CMC paddock parties?

    You might want to cut down on the drinking until after the Championships, then have one big "I'm #1" party.
