    the "JOB" will be parking the rigs on wednesday and thursday. and during the races pushing the top alcohol dragsters and funny cars off the track at the top end. i would do it for nothing but they want to pay me. it'll probably be enough to cover my gas expenses and a burger. just really a fun day at the track.:bouncy: rip, the plugs looked good. i've got another set and some new wires just in case. i cleaned the carb and put new gaskets and fuel filter. we'll see tomorrow.:)
