lol, I had the clip on the Exedy Triple break last year on the second pass. Wrecker to my friends house and doing a clutch job till 3am with a 3 hour drive home made me change my mind on that idea.

My car can drive there easily, its the damn little **** that will break and ruin a weekend when your 2+ hours away from home!

haha

I was just messing with ya bro. I'm getting pretty excited to make it out there. I'm planning on bringing a bag full of money to drop in David's lap for parts. (Think, spare block on my engine stand).

The Shootout is a blast, that's for sure. Hard to describe it, it's something you have to experience.

Throw some 91 in the car and drive it out Wicked!

Just for future reference, there is an E85 station on the way to Buschur's shop. It's between Norwalk and his shop.

Had I known that last year, I wouldn't have brough 10 gallons with me

There's actually two E-85 stations in Norwalk, from what I remember; there's a grocery store south of the hotels in Norwalk that has it at the pump, and then there's the gas station on the way out of town toward Milan.

The problem I had was finding reliable sources of E-85 on the drive there; for being a huge source of corn in the country, Indiana was pretty barren of E-85 along I-80. I wimped out and reflashed for E10 on the drive there; for this year's drive to New Jersey, map switching will help.
