That's because it's filling up w/ mineral deposits.  It's kinda like the tractor puill guys who fill their blocks w/ sand....

The hydropneumatic suspension should still give a comfy ride even with a metal seat. I hope.

Who are Spank's co-drivers/team for this weekend?   Please don't tell me that he is going to do the 24 hours all by himself!

If he needs anything on I-10 through Mississippi, holler at me. Room, food, wrench, etc.

Subtract a hour from that. In true Lemons racer form he fueled up and got on the freeway going the wrong way heading west and it took him a hour to figure it out.

Please make sure track in and track out are WELL marked at the race.

The trip was just too damn easy, so Spank decided to add a hundred miles or so to the distance.  Show off!  tongue
