Glad I am not the only nut staying up most of the night to ge this car going. I thought man it sure is going to be cool to see the real deal with the Nitrous. I am very glad I fIgured it out. I was a nightmare. I pluged into the fuse box to run ACC power to the togge. When I did everything went dead the car wouldn`t start. I was freaking out. I started to get my head together, and started checking fuses. I found fuses burnt, whew I could breath again. I had burnt up a bunch of fuses. I then checked the wires , had pulled one wire around the radio area. It was cut on the metal frame. I should of ran a condouit around the wire to begin with. I am rambling, better get more sleep.

Don't feel too bad, I'm starting to wonder if we're ever going to get this season underway. Three Saturdays ago was the first test and tune of the year. I was hoping to get my new suspension dialed in but the day was shortened due to rain and I only got a couple runs. Track conditions were lousy and I didn't learn anything useful.

Two Fridays ago was the scheduled first points race but it was rained out. That Saturday was another test and tune, but after towing the car 100 miles to the track the T&T was canceled due to high winds.

This past Friday (yesterday) should have been another points race, but it was rained out, and today was another test and tune but it was rained out too.

This year sure isn't off to a very good start.

NO doubt, I was just tired and bitching. Hey the rain is always good for a little slap and tickle. Couldn`t hurt.

Well yeah but at least you have control of your situation. Get your butt in gear and get the car done!

I, on the other hand have no control over the weather. Would be cool if I did though. Rain would only ever fall on week nights between midnight and 5 AM.
