Ten used gas cans
Nine CB channels
Eight water bottles
Seven teen inch rims
Six hundred RBF

FIVE COSMO TIRES, badam-pam-pam
Four rookie drivers
Three Red brake drums
Two stock high beams

And a brand new Kirkey RACE SEAT

You're bringing a Crown Vic, right Bob?

Might want to make that "eight spare brake pads"...

I know, right.
What kind of an idiot brings 3 red brake drums and 5 tires?

3 days! so exited for first race as well. Any advice? Do you recommend reading the rule book? I have been putting that off - not really sure if its worth the time. Just days of thunder it and turn left?

Yep. That's perfect. Days of Thunder fast and turn left. You'll be fine

The rule book is super short and entertaining.  If it is your first race, you must attend the online drivers meeting and the online rookie meeting.  Days of Thunder style might seem like fun until you find your team black flagged out for the day, and then you sit parked in shame.

Enjoy your first race.

How did you complete a car if you haven't read the rules?
