Yeah they have a toyota event so maybe we could hook up with them but if not we are good on our own. I wouldn't mind running around the comp area with you in the afternoon on saturday.

I'm going to bring the fire pit for the parking lot drinking at camp comfort. I will have burgers and dogs with the small grill.

I've got a buddy coming with his King of the Hammers buggy so it should be a fun weekend. My number is 757-817-7495. We will be at the Comfort Inn tonight. See you there.

So yeah I'm not worth a shit. I'm a loser that is not going to show. The toyota has some over heating issue and I couldn't figure it out. Since the YJ is out due to a blown radiator and still broken front axle. I really want to give up on this shit.

I ran the Jeep harder this weekend than I ever had. I tried playing keep up Charlie Melchner and his KOH rig. His buggy is unreal. A combination of running faster and harder than I ever had and having the engine running better than it ever has, made for a really fun weekend. The air bumps soaked up the blasting down the service roads. We were really hauling butt. It took some pretty hard hits and it never felt bone jarring or out of control on the rebounds. I am very impressed with the performance out of the 5.3. No more stumble and no more smoke. Everything is really coming together nicely. With some coaching form Charlie I had the Jeep doing things I didn’t thing it was capable of doing. The Jeep is certainly far more capable than I know. It’s just to pretty for me to really test its limits. It almost landed on its head on the Trail 5 hill climb. It was nice to get it out and push it. We did Crawl Daddy. We did the first half in about 10 minutes. Charlie passed me in the first 20 feet and we did a hammer down, non stop, wheel spinning climb until we hit a group that was stuck right at the mid point. It was fantastic.

And there was plenty of beer for only three people waiting for us each night in the parking lot.
