Default two issues...

something electrical - Car has power one second, not the next.

Fuel gauge is apparently stuck at a quarter tank now. I think you can figure out the rest :P (keep in mind I hadn't driven the car in a week)

Default Tie rods finally arrived...

I don't think the alignment is done yet...which means they haven't tried to fit the tires...which means I'm probably not going home at 5pm :P

I only have to leave for the track at 5:30am. This is a typical event day, right Mark? Doug? heh heh heh

Default typical PRE-EVENT day!!! how late were we up putting decals on your car!!! 2am?

Of course, last year before I did the Lanark Highlands, I was rushing. I built my light bars in one weekend. The next weekend, I arrived home friday afternoon (early class friday), and started wiring the lights..... I wired all night.... didn't stop till 5:30am.... lights on, switches in, rally computer wired up but laying on the seat.... quick drive to make sure it all works, then crawled into bed. Slept 7 hours, attempted to stick the velcro to the dash to hold the computer (notice I don't use velco anymore?).... drove with the computer on the seat letting the velcro cure to the dash all the way to ottawa. Meanwhile, I'm bedding in the brakes on a major road at 7pm. Drove all night, finished the rally, drove home, slept for a few hours, then drove to barrie for class monday! That was one long weekend!

About a month later I changed the computer mount (after several failed attempts to stick different types of adhesive velcro to the dash... I used some pretty crazy solvents on the dash to try and get all the armorall-type stuff off it.... nothing would last more than a week before peeling off). Drivers display is still velcro, but the main computer is hard mounted to the dash.
