Justin, don't worry. I remember for the longest time diesel was cheaper. It's crazy how quickly things change.

I have missed quite a bit here. It's been a really nice week, but I have been working all week! I need it to be nice on the weekends!

I paid $4.09 on the silas deane last night. I have been pretty good at not paying over $4.10 so far I think. And...I got 13mpg this last time around, NICE!!

afternoon everyone.

Pretty much pulled an all nighter last night building quads for the race this weekend.

We are racing at Capeway rovers in Middleboro Mass this weekend...personally i hate the track. its like a minute and 30 second lap times versus some of the maine tracks we go to that are almost 3 minutes. Not to mention the track is so tight that you need to hit people to make passes.

******** width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JgBeyj2iq9c?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JgBeyj2iq9c?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>*********>

ok im off to get race fuel...$15 a gallon

Anybody interested in helping me weld some plate steel fillers for my trailer ramps this weekend? I may have to tow a GT500 on my trailer to Tasca on Friday, and I'd like to have a smooth ramp for him. Ultimately, I'd like to have longer ramps made, but I think making removable fillers would work for now.

Thx.

If you bring it to east haven I'll do my best. We've got a millermatic 252 I'm not bad on and we can figure something out for steel. I have a good bit around.
