I enjoyed the drives especially when the sun started going down. T-tops out and motor singing at 3000 rpm, that was a lot of fun.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

How many times have you done Drag Week......
1. Unload all the crap out of the car.
2. Disconnect sway bar and put on the Drag Radials (all four wheels off of the car).
3. Screw around with the daily "fix" of the nitrous system (none of which worked).
4. Look for racing unleaded (just in case the nitrous decided to work).
5. Make five to ten passes per track, desperately searching for speed and consistency (neither of which appeared in sufficient quantities).
6. Shoot a few blurry, out-of-focus photos.
7. Get more free advice on how to make the dead nitrous kit work.
8. Look at the big pile of crap I had to load back into the car and realize how exhausted already I was.
9. Find and turn in my best time slip (usually the right one . . . except at Tulsa on Day One).
10. Reconnect the sway bar and take off the Drag Radials (all four wheels off again).
11. Reload all the crap.
12. Shoot some more photos of guys fixing broken stuff.
13. Search for where I mislaid the route instructions.
14. Look at the food Mrs. Outsider packed . . . and then hit the McDonalds Dollar Menu . . . .
15. Call Mrs. Outsider and advise her I was still alive.
16. Search for the daily offering of new parts to re-rig the dead nitrous kit (or get a tire fixed in Ennis).
17. Search (in the dark, usually) for another unlit checkpoint.
18. Pull over and catch a catnap in a truckstop parking lot (when the mocha cappuchinos quit working).
19. Dig through all the crap to find the CD case (no iPod) when the radio was bad and I couldn't stand what was in the CD player anymore.
20. Drive some more until I found all the checkpoints and the next track.
21. Talk myself out of setting up the tent (if there was even camping available at the track) . . . or set up the tent in complete darkness (Gilliam, LA) . . . .
Suffice it to say, the rainout in Tulsa was the most relaxing day of the entire trip . . . . (and I still had to load and unload the car!)

Gee, Jake, you're setting the bar kinda high . . . .
If knowing what you're talking about, not "pissing" people off, and not being an idiot were all requirements for posting at Bangshift, my post count would be about 3.
BTW, anybody know how Spidey's doing?
