SUGGESTIONS FOR ITEMS TO BRING!!!
1. FOLD OUT CHAIRS! Preferably the kind that fold small, and easy to carry.
2. COMFORTABLE SHOES! There'll be some walking/standing involved at the Fiesta.
3. WARM CLOTHING! It can be cold this time of year in the morning. The winds can make it a bit colder on the field. Bring some light, LAYERED clothing that you can easily remove. BRING SOMETHING TO KEEP YOUR HEAD WARM! Bring gloves.
4. A REALLY GOOD CAMERA!!!
5. Antacid.
6. A fleece style stadium blanket. After the balloon chasing for the day is over, we usually go chill out on the field for awhile. It's nice to stay warm, or have something to sit on on the grass.
7. CHAPSTICK!
8. SUNBLOCK!
When I say warm, I mean bring something that will cut the wind, and keep you warm at about 38 degrees or so. I'm not talking ice cold, or snow. When the 12,000,000 BTU burners light off on the field, you'll want to take most of it off anyways.

412 from Springdale to Tulsa, then I-40 in Tulsa all the way to Albequerquie.
Redz....sounds like Arkansas weather...Suppose I will be fine, i'm usually out in shorts and t-shirt in 20 degree weather.

bahaha!!! there you go!!!
The only issue i'm having right now, is the gas money to get down there..I WILL NOT bum any money off of Alli, because I'm the type of guy that works hard for what I earn in life, I probably have around 130.00 in my checking account right now, and will see how much I have in my savings account tomorrow. I'm also detailing a car tomorrow for some extra cash...hope everything works out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things are coming together well, but I could really use some new parts. Brakes are almost non-existent and I need a new PCV. The clicking is really starting to get annoying and I think the engine gets bogged as a result. Gotta fix an exhaust leak tomorrow...

Yeah....I hope your tib works out for you, man...
My Tib tried to give me problems in Florida....but i'm guessing it was just the roads, since my car doesn't do this in Arkansas...
In Florida, I was on U.S. 98, heading east in Destin, and I accelerated to 60, then I let off the gas down to 55mph and when I hit 55 mph, the whole car shook hardcore. I sure hope that was just the roads....same happened in Alabama and Mississippi, too, but not in Louisiana and Arkansas...I'm going to see how expensive rotating my tires will be since i'm trying to save every cent right now and I dont have the tools or skills to do so on my own, and possibly and hopefully get my code taken care of that my tib has been throwing at me.

Brakes, we can look at when you get here, just check your master cylinder and adjust your handbrake.
Also, for the PCV, you can just use some spray cleaner in it (remove it from the valve cover first), and it'll be like new.

Man, plane tickets at this point cost $900. Anybody from MI area still driving there? Shit, I'll have to find someone to cover for me at work all weekend, and leave right after class Thursday night. It's really looking like I wont be able to make it.

REDZ, I was looking on RSW and saw this Toyota Supra thread.. with these times
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>11.000 @ 133.456 (new best)</div>
It said Cisco next to it. Is that Cisco? ex-MR2 Cisco?
Holy balls!
and guys, I may be late attending this. Like a day. We had a tragic accident friday on HWY 89, a biker in our group on our way to Phoenix got ahead of us and when the group caught up to him his bike was laid down and a semi was jack-knifed in on-coming lanes and the middle lane. He was prounouced dead on the scene but there are some criminal investigators that keep asking us questions and don't want us to leave the county or anything. The trucker is the only one who knows what happened but he's lieing about something. His truck was in an improper lane (not to mention on an improper portion of the highways, truck aren't allowed nor never need to travel that portion og HWy 89.. and he was carrying something he didn't want anyone to see..
so, I don't know if the family of our friend wants to pursue charges/an investigation.. but I may be required to be here. sucks, my heart goes out to his mom and dad..
careful riding!
