... lightweight flywheel, header, intake, exhaust... wider wheels, stickier tires...

If only I had money to spend.

It's certainly a long list if there wasn't a budget in the way. 8-)

Can't believe that I am in the same situation two Januaries in a row. I need to cancel Michele as she wil be attending a funeral. I'll still be there and I'll be able to get the trailer out.

Think next year I just won't register her for January.....

Is there anything formal that I need to do in MAE?

If it was earlier, you could cancel in MAE. At this point, no. I'll handle it.

That does look like enough. Don't forget to save your receipts and turn them in to Steve before lunchtime is over since he may be leaving a bit on the early side.

John Evans is the man to see with receipts. I'm second in line if you can't find him...

Petty cash replenished, rosters and insurance forms printed (no maps here, either). Race wheels are on. Checking tire pressures, loading car.

I hope someone picked up a load of AA cells for the radios-- they're not dead yet, but no guarantees to make it all day.

I found 3 AA batteries in the tech box, they're a bit rusty though, so yes, Scott pick up a big pack of AA's . We also need someone to get gas for the genny......I can be that someone :)

Trailer is on site. Just got back. Checked the cold tire pressure before leaving, 35psi. Guess that's right? See you guys in about 11 hours...

Better check the sidewall for pressure. Some trailer tires require a lot more pressure than street tires. I don't know if 35 is right or not. (probably not low enough to be dangerous, though)
