Didn't go...

This was my day:

10:00 went out and bought 10gal Sunoco 100, pulled everything out of the truck bed, swept and hosed it, let it dry and put everything back, took out the tractor, have a slow leak in a front tire so had to take it to the barn to fill it, then used it to lift the trailer off the blocks and pull it out of winter storage to the barn to check and fill the tires, park the trailer, put the tractor away, put the RE on the QJ and installed the skinnies and DR's, set the pressures, torqued them, purged the tank, added 1qt 100, purged that, added 6gal 100, removed the pass seat, rear seat, mats, all the crap out of the trunk, glove, console, hooked up the trailer to the truck, set up the ramps, went inside to take a break at 2:30. I was so tired I decided to skip street night tonight.

I'm getting too old for this crap. In the future, prep will need to be done the day before. I'll keep it prepped, put it on the QJ and wait for a good track rental day, maybe next week.

Sucks to get old... Not to mention the arthritis...

So much for the GOLDEN years...

I know you’re chasing a time but that is a lot of prep. Honestly, if I had that much work to do to hit the track I’d never make it either.

Why not just leave the redeye perma prepped and just drive the 707 as your street car?

That's the plan for this spring. The RE is sitting on the QJ with 6gal of 100 in it waiting for the perfect DA. I really hope for a good track rental so I can have good prep and not a lot of waiting in line heating up the intake temp.

I checked my tickets and did the research, my 10.018 was at a DA of about -70'. If I can get a nice day with a substantial negative DA, I hope it'll work.

BTW: I may not have the 9 BILLION hp the Purple Piston Eater has, but please respect that the 2020 has 717.
