Jed, Steve and anyone else interested.

Just talked to NHRA. Tickets are available on the west grandstands, the better & smaller grandstands, for Saturday about 1/2 track give-or-take. Sections K-M are available. If someone has AAA then it's a 10% discount off the 62 bucks, that makes them 55.8 per.

I don't have AAA so can't do it myself. If we want to wait until Friday to get them then let's co-ordinate that. Either one person buys the tickets and everyone pays them back or we all call and get the specific area. Problem is I can't afford the tickets for everyone myself.... got to pay for my Memphis trip outta this paycheck so I can't go ape-sh*t.

Man this is like a strip tease drama. But it's good news, I feel like a donated a body part and I'm not even dead. We have to get some vid to document, maybe not Racer 5 style but you know.

Dam Bill seem's like it's always something.

Here's the pics of the gauges.







I'll be picking up the blower tomorrow and If I'm lucky the stuff from the powder coaters. I'll post pics as soon as I get them.



BTW-Install date has been bumped up to 11/6. Still won't have it till the 7th though. With that said if I get it back early enough on Friday I'll take it to Barona that night.

Leo gauges look nice & they look familiar

Hey guys I saw this tool at Harbor Freight I think its kind of cool. I showed Steve at the show and he gave it a

The tool...



The use...



Works great I sprayed Adam's detail spray on it the hit a wheel. In between each rim I would squeeze a clean towel around it to suck up the dirt. Then more spray and on to the next wheel. Only $ 5.00 bones.

Here's the pics of the gauges. Only problem is the fuel pressure gauge is 2" instead of 2 1/16th like the other two. So I'll be calling the vendor tomorrow about getting it switched out.
There's always something Leo.. start getting used to it.

I do like that Wideband gauge. I wonder if it's as simple as swapping gauges for me since I already have the O2 sensor and wiring done.
But as my luck would have it, it's probably not compatible.

That was everyone's reaction that watched him/her sing.

Jed-Nice pics except for the one of Wonder Woman. That tool looks pretty useful.

Bill-Turns out it's a typo one the label from Auto Meter. They don't make any 2" gauges and the 4 digit number only corresponds with the fuel pressure 2 1/16th size guage. The exact same gauge in a different size has a different four digit number. So thank god I don't have to deal with an exchange from an ebay vendor. I was begining to think I'd be down a gauge for the install.

If you want the WB gauge get it.
