We were registerd for Stock withthe Challenger, but time ran out, and we didn't the car into Vegas in time.

We could not get teched in today to get into Super Gas, so the car will only drive around in the pits and not hit the track this weekend.

The car is now in the pits in Vegas, and tomorrow morning will be moved to the Mopar Direct Connection booth for the day.

As for going to Indy or Texas, as it turns out all three of us all have committments on Monday of the week after Indy, and there is no way we could get home from Texas in time. Although it made good sense for a lot of reasons to go to Texas, those committemnts make Indy which is only 6 hours from home for us, the choice we are making.

Weather is always a concern, and last I checked, there was nothing I could do about the weather, so Indy it will be, rain or shine....

We will be wandering around the pits in Vegas tomorrow for most of the day, and have already met a couple of Class Racer folks... Good to put real people with the text....

People keep asking "why", and the probably the best answer was given... Because we can. I will only say this once because I don't dwell on it, but life is too short (have a Doctor tell you that you have 6-9 months to live and see if you don't agree with me.) and nobody is promised tomorrow. Getting this car down the track and actually being more than competitive is on my Bucket list... And it is the only thing there, that hasn't been accomplished yet... So why do we do it? Because we have to do it and we do it with a sense of urgency that sometimes overcomes common sense.... But we will keep going as long as we can... And we WILL get it done.
