Want to see how this is going to sit. I've seen a few dropped, but want to make sure it's low and level. I don't think an extra half an inch is going to do too much....but if it does, we can always fix it.

And install pushed a day up to Saturday before work! YEAH!

I have a budget and a checklist. That's not the problem. It's the setbacks...

haha. Well once my checklist is done. Nothing else will be done to my ride unless it's a full sponsorship. I've dealt with enough drama (one of my biggest pet peeves).

I don't need a line lock, because I'm not dragging my car. Hendrix hasn't contacted me about a sponsorship yet.

Doug, How many SD cards are you bringing to the fest for your gopro?

nope, the line lock helps get the power to the ground by allowing for decent burnouts, no sense in having all the power if you spin them all the way through the 1/4 mile...

None.

I actually don't own the gopro. But, what I did on the last trip was download one SD card info onto the laptop while driving while recording with another. ALL the video was put onto the laptop while driving...made it easier on the pocketbook.

That's what you step on the brakes for.

Fronts stop and rears keep a' goin'!!"

Yes, yes...I know I know...a line lock is good for burn outs.
