Loading Up for the big day(s)

Just a few little things left to go. Traci and I finished the trailer today. We will start loading everything tomorrow.

We have to go to Sam’s to buy snacks and drinks for everyone. Once we get back, we will clean everything up, load the car and the Honda UTV.

I go to get an NHRA physical on Monday morning so I can try to earn my NHRA Pro Mod competition license at the test session.

Once the physical is done on Monday, Traci and I will head to Houston Raceway Park to set up our pit for the test sessions. We will be pitted very close to the track and our work area will face the media suite where everyone will be hanging out. Everyone will be able to watch us work on the car between runs from the media suite and stay cool!

Hopefully we will have a relaxing evening by ourselves at the track Monday evening. I plan on going over everything on the car one more time and getting some sleep. We haven’t had much of that lately!

We will also practice getting in and out of the car with full gear on and practice some routines.

Those of you that are coming on Tuesday or Wednesday might be interested in our planned schedule. The gates on the pit side (East side of track) will be left open so you can come and go. We plan on having a get together at 5:00 pm and a group picture with everyone who is there.

Our first run will hopefully happen at around 6:00 pm. The first runs will be short runs to get the car set up and get me used to driving it. They will hopefully get progressively longer and faster as we get more seat time.

My other car (“The Blue Banana”) will also be running with a young man driving it to get ready for the bracket racing finals next weekend. He will be campaigning the car in the final race of the year. This will give everyone another car to watch while we are getting “The Black Hole” serviced between runs.

 I can’t wait to see all of our friends and drive the car for the first time!!!
