    We'll be around all day Friday milling and testing some stuff, then Saturday morning we'll stir around 7:00 AM and have breakfast and coffee and BS a while.. Then someone will fire off a saw and it will be on for the rest of the day..
    The boys raced till 10:00 PM last year, and I finally had to un-plug their flood lights... When Levi, Jake, and stumpy's boys get going at the race cants, it's either shut em' down, or runnem' outta wood somehow...

    After getting the news about Phil's accident, we've decided to auction off a ported Dolmar 5100S at the GTG right after the races... Just to let everyone know...
    Proceeds will be sent to Phil's wife.

    I'd bring both. Might be a good place to sell the HD. I'd buy if right now, it I didn't already have a SS!!!
