I'd love to get out and see you guys run/support you. I think the closest you come to Washington state is Thunderhill up in Norcal which is like a 12-13hour drive for me.

Do you have a schedule of when you're going to be where this year? Maybe I'll see if I can get some vacation time to roadtrip down to Thunderhill, do some lapping during the week, then hopefully catch you guys racing on the weekend.

Oh man, with all the work I do to my car I can't even begin to imagine how much the labor costs would be to get it to the same spot it's in now. Everything I can do myself I do, and then anything I can't do myself I try to teach myself or hope that my crew has done it before. I think the only time I've paid for labor so far has been my alignment and corner balancing.

Oh trust me, I know about sacrifices. I just wrote a post to my site about what I do to keep my racing/tuning budget alive. Just don't judge me, haha. You might be a little grossed out.

As a bonus, you can heat the tuna on the turbo manifold. Longer cooking times may be needed if header wrap is used.

 

I'm not even kidding, but a friend sent me a recipe for cooking a baked potato on the manifold. I'm gonna try it out soon and see if it works or if he's just yankin' on me.

If I get enough tuna cans together I'll get my friend to weld 'em all together to make me a full straight-through exhaust. Now THAT'S recycling!
