Yet another night in the workshop, and I feel I am now nearly there (FFS) .........nearly - bit more and done

The 'Howling Wolfe' Round 1 does look like a winning event - huge and decent mixed entry field....
There do also seem to be a number of 'forumeers' entered, so I just was wondering from here
Whos entering / bitching at Slab, and who is planning to
come and point laugh shout abuse and take pics spectate ?
Would be nice to know who to stick fingers up at

??
For myself..... I will have Jon White from the forum with me, ...and I know Tonk is planning to 'visit' (thats 'visit' with a Capital
'P**s Take')

Who entering from this forum, planning to spectate then ?

Boothy and son will be competing hopefully, (depends on the water),
Nobody takes the p*** out of one another, its a sort of DIY thing really,
Listen for the V8 (if the Megaquirts mega) its a white/blue 88" truckcab traybacky thing, running your fuel map Nige.
Be nice to see some faces, to put to names, I hope.

Hope you got one of those waterproof camera's, you might need it
I haven't touched the truck since i cleaned it after france, i was going to make a new dash and rewire but ended up putting up fencing for horses all weekend
Might get out into the workshop tonight and fit some rubber arches, 6" of bogger poking out past the bodywork is not a good thing in the mud

No you don't have to be there Saturday, it just helps to relieve the pressure on Sunday.
The more that arrive on Saturday, the less of a queue there will be the following morning

Old quarries, landfills and military training grounds tend not to have PostCodes as Mister Postie rarely has to visit
Ask me nicely after the weekend and I'll send you a TomTom POI file with all the sites already on it.

If anybody has got a spare push in type washer pump (standard cheapo type with 2 push on blade connectors) they can chuck in their toolbox it would be much apprechiated, just broken mine 21.30hrs just before it goes on the trailer for a 5 hour drive.
It's no doubt one a thousand things that can go wrong.
Thanks lads and lassies and look forward to seeing you tommorow.
