One of my friends just bailed on me and he had the Dodge diesel that was going to tow my car. Anyone have any recommendations for a way to get a truck, nobody else I know has one or can let me borrow it that weekend.
As most of you know we have been involved in the Castrol Top Shop Shootout where we have to build an engine to compete against other shops in a dyno contest. Well Since we do not have an Engine dyno we had to build the motor using the one chassis that gave us the most freedom....the drag car. So about three - four weeks ago we had to pull the motor on our drag car and put it aside so we could start this monster of a project with Top shop.
The motor is coming out great and should do very well but the downside is that after dyno testing the top shop motor we would only have four days to Pull it out, put the drag car motor back in, Verify the tune and go to the track for testing Needless to say thats a pretty daunting task so we are going to have to sit this shootout out.
Sometimes scheduling can be a bear but this top shop challenge is pretty important and we had prior commitments to it.
I'm really sorry to all our customers and fans that wanted to see us run. We will make it up to you we promise

I'm really disappointed that I wont make it out there this year. As I already took some leave in July (Which I scheduled 2 months before I even knew I was gonna buy and Evo lol) to go see my Family in Connecticut whom I hadn't seen in over a year.
I was only planing on spectating but Ill be there next year competing.

I think that it is awesome that AMS came out and said the reason they do not
plan to attend. This prevents people from assumeing things that cause
bickering and bad blood between the two camps which in my opinion are the back
bone of this community. I wish I could make it out but I live in texas and can not
miss work. Mabye next year.
