Will do my best to get there. Have to start looking at the best way to get there via Alaska Airlines out of Seattle. Got tons of points. Too bad Pumpkin won't fit in my carry on.

One step closer, test fit and bearing pre-load done on carrier. Looking good so far.

Winter is here now.

Yesterday was a brewing day for Green Stone Ave Brewing, a bit chilly but we got it done. The Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale is looking and tasting good. Be ready for spices and kegging next weekend.

Hope you make it Merc!

Having Pumpkin would obviously be nice

..... my 1st Cfest was during my build, but must admit I saw more without the car.

Merc, how much RWHP will you be throwing at that now?

Sissy stuff compared to most. 400 RWHP (dynoed)for the time being, still un-tuned, but not for long. Probably leaving 40 or 50 HP on the table without Ted's tune. Only get half the HP from the ARH Lt's and Vararam CAI. The beefed up Speedster piece should be good for a couple of seasons til I do a Mast Motorsport LS3 transplant and then I'll up-grade to a DSS 9". I already have the DSS 1400HP axels and aluminum one piece driveshaft which can be modified to fit the DSS 9", so I'm half way there already. I like the option of 650 HP naturally aspirated piece from Mast Motorsports. The long block option from Mast is not much more then a blower and it's pretty much plug and play.

I'm hoping to make it. Traditionally August is a very busy month for me. Between racing and fishing and the possibility of work place transfer (requested) my schedule is subject to change. Real hard to plan with that possibilty looming. As far as transfer it's by senoritity and you have to take it when it comes available or wait for the next chance.:( Might have to sit one out.

. Besides no road course at Indy.

Merc · 01-16-2012, 10:33 PM

Were bracing for another big snowfall to night. The third in four nights

, it will be a fricking winter wonderland here by tomorrow morning.

I need to follow the Cfest plans better..... didn't realize no road course. I love that part.

Snow bound on days off has it's benifits, got lot's of around the home tasks done and a kegerator mod as well.

Merc · 01-19-2012, 08:38 PM

Managed to get out and about today and get a few things done. The LPW cover was suppose to show up today, but delivery delayed 1 day due to weather.:( I did however get to Bob's Driveline Services to have a look at the completed diff.

Seattle and Washigton State is getting it with snow and freezing rain, our turn comes in about 12 hours. It will be a real mess up here soon.

:(
