Laskey's will be there!!! Too bad I couldnt be there rootin for everyone.....gotta be out in Vegas settin up for SEMA...

 

I'll be there with or without the car.. I hope with, but cash flow will determine that..

Eric,
show them all what Boya Built is all about!... If you need any help in the pits, you noe you can count on me, weather i got the car there or not..

See ya all there....

Mike...

 

I know the timing isn't the most opportune with the SEMA Show load in dates but we had no choice. Our original date was "accidently" given away by the folks at the track to a charity drag race organization without confiming with us. As a matter of fact, it was the same weekend as last year's finals at Bakersfield.

But, what can we do? They already had contracts signed and deposits taken from the other group and we were left with little or no option but for this date.

Hope to see everyone there!

 

Yeah that was definately a bummer about that...but like you said, what can you do...it'll be a great race whoever comes out. Just gonna have to get cell phone, and honda-tech updates!!

Yeah, we can all show up as racecar driver
Yup, count Laskey racing in for your show Frank, sounds like fun. Do we get candy with our tech card?

 

I think the candy with the tech cards is a great idea! I will run that idea by the folks here in the office and let you know. Maybe even an award for the "Best Costume"?!

 

thanks for the constant suport,i think the new Booya Built gem will surprise a few peeps.just waiting for your Exedy clutch using West Coasts first 9second drag Civic coupe.BOTI thanks 4 scheduling it during daytime,im tired of watch Ricky dela Cruz bitching about excuses in the dark at the far end turnouts.im like a racing shrink.

 

we plan on making it, hopefully no problems in pomona. Just to clarify this is only sunday the 31 and not the 30and 31 correct.
