Had a quiet night in Council Bluffs, IA, after flying into Omaha because, really, I had no other choice. 

On my way to Lincoln now. I'll check in this afternoon.

Looks like some great weather. I worked the Test and Tune yesterday and it was really a beautiful day. 

JG, watch out tonight as they are calling for a pop-up hail storm about dinner time.

For those who are looking for an interesting distraction and are already in town, the IMCA Sprint Car nationals are over at Eagle Speedway about 25 miles east of the air park tomorrow night. 1/3 mile high bank dirt oval.

Nice to see the '80s theme of this year's event being taken seriously.

I give you: Tony Savini's bumper car. The greatest pit mobile ever.

Very cool! Is that John Vitamvas's 2.5 Turbo RX-8 in the background? He had a build thread on here, but I haven't seen it in a while.

Jay Bullington's Audi ripped out the lower shock mount from the control arm and beat the swanky shock all up. He found a suitable but less-high-performance replacement and managed to get a Heli-coil in the scabbed out hole in the control arm and got back in the game. Percy the helpful pup supervised. Yes, there were plenty of jackstands in use.

In reply to JG Pasterjak :

You left out the part where the Audi community found the shock as a dudes spare in less than an hour and had relays set up to get the part to Jay!

Yep. In a basement in Omaha. Where all the good stuff comes from.
