I guess we'll see...

I think this is something for HR residents who still live in the area to look forward to, but I don't think it's going to be anywhere near the size it has in the past - in light of how little is up & running...
its for similar reasons why i think it will be huge. i already know a few people going just because it is high river. i feel it could be a huge turn out just because there is many euthusiasts who wish to help the town. what better way then to go. it will help the economy no matter what. only sunday will tell.

so july it is hahahahahaahahahah. its not as bad as you think, as long as the car is at running temps then it dont hurt it. i swear if we had e85 here there would be some 1/4 mile times falling. on a day like today it will be -5 celcius in the morn, it will get up to +20 in the aft. it will be like 10 to 5 degrees in the eve and the pavement will hold the heat til about 9pm. its the only way i can run a 2.7 without meth and be effective. of coarse in the summer heat im slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow hahahahha but right now im prime.

Yeah your day time temps are still about like ours, we've been in the high 60's to low 80's lately with lows in the mid 40's to mid 50's, but that will start dropping more soon unfortunately. I need to get my other car running before winter, otherwise I'll either be buying another cheap beater for a bit or running the snow tires and stock suspension in the red car for a few weeks, which I don't want to do.

When I only had one car I drove it with the z rated summer tires on it for 3 winters lol, it was dangerous but whatever haha. I got a deal on some studded winter tires this year and have an extra set of wheels so thought why not do it. Just need to get the motor out of the other car and a stock one swapped in so I can start driving it when the weather turns.

i was kinda surprised, but we get back and jess was telling us about it. funny thing was the last of our conversation was kinda like this. his question of the day " am i douche bag for wearing a oilers jersy to work?"

me- maybe you should trade your jersy in for a real team like the bruins you douche.
jd- f*** off hahahahaaha

but he commented on how well the job was done and how quiet i was hahahahahaha. i guess he was trying to get me to talk. however knowing me it was probally best i didnt hahahahahaha. i told him that they dont play enough good maiden and i was tired of run to the hills.

it was a interesting day. the whole week is very interesting. not the same run of the mill jobs.

So after watching street outlaws again, I think I'm going to start my own list of fastest street cars in the nation. That is I'm just going to label myself as that after building a full blown drag car that can't even roll down the block and without racing anyone from anywhere!

I'll call my self assasi-Balt!
