Is that a crawling rig on the back of that trailer?!
I cant wait to see Gabe roll down the track! I remember the convoy last year it was one giant cloud whenever we pulled out on the interstate together! LOL
Did you get tuning since last year? Or are you running the same as last year Gabe?

With only 15 days left until the 6th annual RRE in Eastern TN I thought it might be a good time to touch base with a few things.
Things are going to be a little different this year with part of the events being at the fair grounds and open to the pubic to attend. This will leave the KOA pretty much closed to the FTE family and family events.
Please remember that this is a family campground and this is a family gathering. Right now we are approaching 150 people on the list with about 1/3 of them being children. Please keep this in mind while we are at the campground. Keep your traffic to a minimum. Keep your speed down to a crawl. Keep you language in check at all times. Please if you want to party, make sure it's kept down to a point your neighbors can sleep if they want or in my case, need to. There is always a party going on so you should be able to find one, but please keep it reasonable.
Please keep a watchful eye on the area around you. Last year we had some stuff happen that shouldn't have. Not sure who did what, but that can't happen again or we may lose our welcome there.
For those going on the mountain ride, please respect the land we are riding on. It's a beautiful place and we all should do our best to make sure we leave it that way.
One last thing, at least for now. The town of Newport has been very patient with us and always welcomes us with open arms. We even have the blessing of the police dept and will have an escort again this year. I want to ask you all to please be on your best behavior while driving around the town. Respect the town and we will remain welcome.
Thanks for making the last 5 years a success and
here's to making this one the best yet.

You going with a big tank Gabe? The less fuel, the faster on the dragstrip! You have 30 gallons in there when you're running and you will be 2 tenths of a second slower than if you had 5-6. Fuel's heavy!

My rear tank was replaced a couple years ago cause it was leaking. Then the front started leaking so i just quit using it. And it kinda sucked last year to fill up all the time, so i decided to put a new tank in 2 weeks befor we leave so i have been ordering parts. The pick up filter was gone so got that ordered. But then i noticed the pick up tube was leaking, i guessing the selector valve is going bad cause the switch was on the rear tank. So i put a fuel hose on the pick up and pinched the end so it would stop leaking till i could get the new tank on. But then it started leaking out one of the tubes on the out side of the lock ring plate. Sorry for the rant just have to order more parts.
