You may want to look into driving gloves to wear while racing.

I'm 95% sure i'm not racing...:(

1, i'm not really prepared. I think i need a helmet too, if i'm in the 12's, right?

2, $100 seems like a lot right now. lol

No passengers with me and there won't be an open container either. That's bad ju ju.

Hey BB, you know it was charm and the mooning that got you to lift the ban.

Gotta grab some batteries for the two way radio and I'm good to go. Leaving my house at 4:15 Thursday morning and hoping I get enough rest the night before.

Corona

lol. I meant to quote BB.
But yeah, as long as containers are closed and out of reach of passengers, you shouldn't get in trouble. But better safe than sorry
We'll be traveling in a group too, so less chance of getting pulled over.

If you crack 13s consider getting a driveshaft loop.

From there you start turning your car into something Spike would build outta a 4th gen.

You could borrow my helmet if it would fit.

I'm paying the $100, but I don't know if I'll run my car or not. I'm concerned with the possibility of breaking something and I'm not overly happy with my tune at the moment. I do want to at least make one pass, but I don't know if I will.

I agree about better safe than sorry. Are you guys waiting for us or going on ahead without us?

Do what Jarrod is doing. Don't do a hard launch, just a roll out.

Yeah if its in the back seat, its reachable. Trunk is full.

Skip is very careful about not messing up his career. He wont excessively speed either. Makes me do it!

The last I heard that's the plan. I know I'm rolling out at 4:15 to meet Jeff on 780 and then we are heading to Dublin.
