I can hardly wait.  Got a lotta stuff out and ready to go.  The 
mini-chopper pit bike is tuned up and tested, the coolers and 
sleeping bag are set out.  Maybe I otta think about some stuff to put 
in said coolers.

I'm really lookin forward to SW.  Got my calendar marked and just 
chompin at the bit.

There are car shows/cruise nites in the SLC area on the 18th, 19th 
and 20th...then the Daytona Prototypes/GrandAm race at Miller's track 
on 8/31-9/2.  I gotta get my tickets for that one.

I have a friend from the Nova mailing list who was kind enough to 
lend me his 80-210 mm zoom lens for the events so that I can use the 
35mm camera instead of/in addition to the digi-cam.  I hope to get 
some good pics for the website.

I heard thru the local circle-track grapevine that the Nish group 
will have their streamliner there with the smallblock motor for a 
shakedown run in preparation for running with the rat motor at WoS or 
WF.  So be prepared to see Royal Purple on the long course.

I'd love to take my 29 Model A rat pickup out there, but it's just 
not gonna be ready in time.  I've still gotta wire the whole 
mess...I've got the ignition and gauges wired up, but I'm putting a 
Painless harness in with halogen headlights and integrated turn 
signals...so there's gonna be a bit of work yet to be done.  There 
are pics of the process here:
http://www.chevyasylum.com/Welcome1.html  I spose I could trailer it, 
but I don't have a hitch or brake controller on the Ugly Truck.  So 
many things to do, so little time do them in.  Maybe at WF.

I need to update the site with the current stuff.  Maybe tomorrow.  I 
spent today relocating my computer room and I'm all tuckered out.

Ray the rat.
