I'm trying but I can't make promises at this stage. Money's a big hurdle right now since a proper dose of insanity hit my team with the 5-race campaign AND the Iron Nadz. It's pretty sad that I had been doing this since 07 and just this season caught up to you in race count (I'm @ 9)

when's the database close? I don't wanna push it but I wanna know the deadline for getting off the pot. If someone ponies up the dough before me, go with them.

Chicago was my tenth race. You have some catching up to do.

Get a hotel?

Sure, but where's the fun in that? Also, hotel + 24 hour race = fail.

Re: 24Hours in the Swamp

What about renting a trailer near by so you only tow 100 miles? But it might end up costing the same with all the rental fees.

So let's talk bribes, flashlights, mosquito nets, bug spray, a tent, YES, we could use a set-up tent and Red Bulls.

Re: 24Hours in the Swamp

We are planning to have a huge gumbo for Friday night. Ya'll come by and get some. Nothing planned for Saturday because of the race. Come to think of it maybe we should plan something because I am sure we will be out of the race by 6pm Saturday.

Re: 24Hours in the Swamp

The Intervention Motorsports team will be there. We are always in for food. Take one look at our team and you'll see they love food. H*ll, we even had to beat our door opening out so one of our drivers could get in and out. Our left hand door has the infamous "Fat Boy" modification.

Yay! Y'all always have the best food. We always pre make sandwiches for race day. It gets old eating the same kind of sandwich over and over, but it works.

Re: 24Hours in the Swamp

You lot always seem so prepared!  We have a Dolly trailer, a single pop up gazebo thing and 2 F150 trucks, 3 cool boxes and some mosquito spray......

Better get renting some fancy motor home!

Re: 24Hours in the Swamp

so, how are the gators at the track? should i leave the bug repellent and brink the Colt King Cobra?  are they the small flavorful ones, or the big one that are like chewing rubber bands?

Yee-Haw 2010 "Most Heroic Fix" & "I Got Screwed" -2 trophies for 1 lap, but I took checkered on my lap.
Gator-O-Rama 2012 "Organizers Choice" -2 laps 1 trophy, but i still finished ahead of an E30
Yee-Haw 2013 No trophy -26 laps, I think I see a pattern here

Oh don't be so scared. The gators live in the ponds on the other side of the drag strip, near the timing tower. It would be a quarter mile crawl for the gator. The hissing sound would wake you up anyway..........

We will have both cars there with 11 drivers total. I am sure they will fill in, likely they are out of cash though. Just thought I would offer.

Re: 24Hours in the Swamp

thanks, money isn't as important as driver experience.  I talked a friend into being a fifth driver so I think we are good.

yes, because after using it, you have to scrap the motor and get a new one.
