      At this point in time mine doesn't need much. I plan on freshening the valve train with new roller lifters(two drag weeks on them) and new springs. Other than that my combo will be the same as last year unless I hit the lottery or something. I did find some ET and MPH though so I should be a little faster. I figure I can do this stuff in august LOL.

      I also need to repair a front wheel one of mine is cracked.

                ....so that means you have enough time to finish the bodywork, paint it, put in some insulation, etc...

                            That should help with the heat. I'm thinking a firewall pad and removable, insulated floor mats for the Chevy II.

                              I would love to go again. I may just spectate this year again because I'm sure I wont have the money to make my car DW worthy. 2015 Sounds like the best possibility for me. I did have a blast for the first 3 days of DW that I attended.
