I will burn about 10-gallons in 45-minutes so i need to get something worked out on fuel.
I can't run the 9's because I can't get them mounted in time, nor do I have a vehicle to transport them for tire mounting, and I still need to roll fenders so they fit.

shut up jake! gah! anyway's, yeah, i'm on 205 NT-01's too so it should be fun.
on fuel, you should be able to do 2 sessions atleast before refueling. you have an 1.5hrs or longer during lunch so you should have plenty of time to go to the gas station. that's what i usually do.
oh, and tires will hook up after a lap or two. i was at hhr a few weeks ago in the same conditions and it was real slippery at the start of the first lap, but were fine after 2 laps. plus the cold air made my car feel fast for such low boost!

If you do the math, two 30-minute sessions is longer than 45-minutes so i can actually do 1.5 sessions before I run out of fuel. I'll buy a 5-gallon jug to help get me by. When I drop below 1/2-tank my fuel pump screams.

This just in: My GF may borrow her father's truck and pull my car to Houston for me, play tire monkey, and tell filthy trucker jokes to everyone in attendance.

The custom built snipped toe boots from Ponder Boot company are the ****, and get tons of bitches. I have no pics currently but I'll wear them with shorts on Saturday.
I just talked to my dad and he wants to so, so scratch the GF from the list, add my father, several bottles of Absolute, his 43' motor home, and domination.
