Glad to hear dude! You need to use Shell V-Power to hell reduce engine gunk buildup :rofl BTW, What time you leaving for the track saterday morning, I don’t know if I can make it as my parents are away and its just me and the woman, but if I can i’d like to drive up with a few people ---

I’d like to be there at 8am, but I’m sure that’s not gonna happen. I believe theres a bunch of us packing into Murray’s truck (he’s towing my car out there) I haven’t gotten a solid answer yet. If everyone wants to leave later in the morning, I may just drive there on slicks from my house. ---
