Going to Island Dragway Sunday May 1st

I'm going to Island Sunday May 1st alone to do some test and tune
with the Dart.
Is anyone interested in going? I hate to ask but,
I could use a hand you know an extra set of eyes to help with how
she launches.
I'd like to get it buttoned up before the Mopar Nats.
Anyone going to be around?

Tony, I plan on racing on Saturday, but I'm gonna try and make it on Sunday to be your 2nd set of eyes.

Mike, why don't you just go to Island on Saturday?

Thanks Dan, I hope you can make it.
I just looked at the weather station. It says rain and thunderstorms
Saturday and Sunday.
I hope they are as right as they were this past weekend

If the weather looks better at Island than it does at Lebanon Valley I will go there. Atco is too far for me. The way the weather forecast is, I won't be racing anywhere this weekend...

I'm seeing rain on Saturday and partly cloudy on Sunday [-o<

Tony, if you go on Sunday, bring some white shoe polish and a camcorder if you got one.

Unfortunately Next weekend is Mothers day and I have to finish
prettying up the landscaping on Sat for the Mother-in-laws visit.

Does that include digging a big hole and camoflaging it with grass.

Didn't think of that.
It is genuinely a great idea though.
I think my wife would help me

Rained out! After a 2 hour drive...
Started raining when I was 1 minute from the track. They had already dried everything once...
