Ok, I don't feel bad then. I have no head, bottom end is still on the stand, one set of tires short, new springs and kill switch haven't arrived yet, not have the wheel spacers.

Oh. I just assumed, because there was a "Lo-Buck Racing" Civic in SMF. And another HT Member (have'nt seen him active for a while though) from my hometown of Roswell, GA.

Of the 4 cars I'm prepping for the Championships, 1 is completely ready; another is on the trailer and ready to go to the dyno on Saturday (all other prep is complete); yet another is still on jack stands awaiting the new cam that was overnighted today so that I can install it tomorrow after work and load it on the trailer tomorrow night to have it at the dyno on Saturday; and the last car is also on jack stands in the shop and is ready to go except for having the lexan installed in the rear hatch and being put on the scales, which will happen on Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

I'm moving in to Mid-O on Monday morning at 8am.

See you all at the track!

Regards,

Sam

My to-do list isn't too bad, but I'm glad Monday is a holiday, sounds like there will be some late night workin' for some of us HC guys at Mid-Ohio!
