Sorry to hear that *****.

Ready for the weekend! Got to go get my trailer tomorrow, since it was borrowed 3 weeks ago and hasn't been returned yet. Then I should be ready to go.

It's amazing how that happens isn't it? I had to start shopping for another utility trailer before mine came back.

Yes it is, lucky for me he stays 2 houses behind me on the same rock road. However that makes it even worse because he could of just dropped it off one day on his way out.

If it was my trailer, it'd be the last time he gets to borrow it too...

Very good chance of that happening.

He borrows my trailer when I'm not going to a race. He has a trailer it's just 16' long and only 80" wide, mine is 20' and a 101" wide. His truck is a long bed chevy, and it hangs off his trailer about 5" both sides on top of off the back about 2 feet. So the little brother uses his while he used mine aslong as i wasnt racing. That was all fine and dandy except he never brings it back when I need it. We secured another trailer now for the jeep, so he is going to be stuck with his tiny trailer. I offered him the deal of trading trailers plus a $1000 on his end, but he didn't like that bease he would rather just bor row ours all the time. I was going to use the money towards a lower trailer for me that would fit my truck. But now he is gonna be stuck with that little trailer. Especially since the trade I offered is no longer a option and borrowing mine isn't either.

Cool. We've got a grill, burners, burgers, sausages, veggies, snacks and drinks. Along with utensils, plates and napkins. Should be there around 4.

I sent Matt a message with my cell. We'll be in Josh's truck.

I believe Larry said we could set up by his spot on the driver's side.

Sounds like a plan to me, craig (track owner) says racing will be starting right at 4. He just got a new timing system, so that is possible since he won't be fighting with his old system.

A few photos from the race. Unfortunately the photos of Larry's full run were too dark. Couldn't even see his truck.
