Steve! I got that if you want it! I'll sell it for what I paid. If you have other plans, I can hold on to it for when my time is right.

The headers I could use a hand with as I can't afford much down time as I am still in the process of replacing the motor in my other 4runner.,the rest is cake.The rear is easy as crap and will only take me a couple of hours alone.Help is always appreciated though

BFE ?
The forecast has changed a bit and it's definitely not going to be as nice as 70* or anything, but we'll have a better idea by Friday.
Worst case scenario we have to push it back 1 week.

Will do.
Made a few updates, looks like the list is dwindling and we have several maybe's.
I'll wait till Friday to see what Bennie thinks and how the weather will be.
If we have to wait 1 more week weather might be better, and more folks might be good to go.

Hey guys... I know Ryan, (IROC1350TPI) [i think that's how u spell his handle] will be coming for sure.
And Ellen, (EllenBabyKitten) [again, i think] 2 more of the Cen Cal ppl will be coming too for hanging out/observing.

Ryan's a for sure as I am. And Ellen is a maybe as, to quote Ryan, you never really know w/ her. Anyways, just thought you might wanted to know that.

Let's pray for no rain!
But if it does rain down here, but it's clear up there, I'll be riding w/ Ryan to come see and stuff... So I'm a for sure!

Rain for you guys means snow for me so lets hope it's clear!If we push it back a week then it'll give me more time for the headers though.

Was just at the shop and Bennie is still waiting for the software guy to call him back.
That with the weather will determine this weekend.
I think most folks would like to have an extra week.
We'll know by Friday and I'll update the names later Elle, thanks.
Hopefully the out-of-towners don't mind a week delay if that's the case, would be great to meet some of them that I haven't before.

Was that your Nissan in Bennie's lot Terrell?

Sorry to leave you guys hanging, but it's kinda out of my hands.
Haven't heard the final word from the man yet, but I'm thinking it's leaning towards next weekend.
Kyle - You don't need to bring anything, food etc. will be provided.
No beer during the session, sorry guys.
Travis - Is it too late for you to just work this Sunday and ask for the next?
Use your a$$ manager magic.

I'll update again in the next day or 2.

Umm....

For those of us who are driving from out of town, it would be nice to know what is happening. I'd rather not wait until Sunday morning to find out it's been scrubbed.

I wouldn't leave you guys hangin' till the morning of.
Just got off the phone with the man.
It's a no go this weekend for sure.
The software guy has not called him back yet to come by and install the program.
That is all he is waiting on, but it takes time and can't just be done the day before.
He said the weather is lookin' like dung for most of Sunday anwyays so we should hold off for 1-2 weeks.
Hopefully you guys are still available at that time and we'll wait till it's ready to go for sure before setting another date.
