Your "SZ get ready" list - start now so you don't run out of time!

As SZ has become my annual 'blow off steam and damn responsibility, rules and pressure' event, I have but one item on my list:

1. Prepare to teach youngsters how to properly drink too much.

I just need to get my car finished. Hopefully I can have it all running and set up for some hard laps around the track. Just need some more money right now:mad:. Hopefully it'll be unlike any of the other contours there, unless Pole is workin on the same type of thing... Also need to get some nice 17s and sticky tires.

Are you sure properly is the right term there?

Barge, please don't ever call Trapps' mastery of excessive alcohol consumption into question again. It is sacrilidge and I won't stand for it :D.

On topic, I have a few key items I need to take care of before SZ for sure, and a few that I really should have taken care of before SZ as well.

Need:
1. Tires. For the Contour of course.
2. Mount up some brake goodies I now have in my posession finally :D but #1 is required before I can do any actual testing.

There really are too many things for a "should do" list to include it here :D
 
As one of the people that basically carried him into his hotel room I feel that I have earned certain privileges... ya big fat meany head admin.
