So, I am doing Rocky Mountain Race Week two with the Escalade. Um this will be the first event of that sort with this combination. I did Drag Week once in 2016, and that's kind of where this whole whole snowball started rolling was that week. Um So, I'm pretty pumped to do Rocky Mountain this time cuz I I built this setup with Drag Week in mind, and I haven't done it yet. Uh Cooper Bogetti is actually going to be my co-pilot. So, I think he said it'll be us and Garrett and Brent from PFI in the Dale truck, I think. I'm not sure if that changed or not, but the last I heard that's what they were going to have. And then James in something else, maybe maybe Ruby, I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm just doing me. My plan for Race Week is pretty much as long as I don't have a problem not having an NHRA license to get tech'd to go faster than 10.0. If I can get tech'd to go faster than 10.0, which I should be able to, my goal is to have a 9-second average at the end of the week. So, I guess goal number one, survive the week. Goal number two, finish the week with a 9.something something average. I really would like to see a 9.60 average. Now, that's a pretty tall order considering this thing is it's best has been 9.50, but I know it can go faster than that. And all it's going to take is like one like some consistent 9.60s or something, consistent like 9.70s, and then you know, get like one 9.30 or some one 9.40, something like that to knock the average down. But really, I just want an average of the week with a nine on it so that I can say, "Look, this thing's a street car. I did Rocky Mountain Race Week, and it carried a 9-second average. It's a bonafide 9-second truck." Bar none. Can't dispute it. So, that's kind of what I'm after. Uh I really just want to go over everything, make sure it's all up to par. If there's anything I need to address beforehand, I'm going to do it now cuz uh I don't want to be mean to Cooper and make him have to help me work on stuff. I'm kind of just hoping that like we can go up there, check all the tire pressures, tighten the chains down the front, make one run, have it be good like, you know, 9.60, something like that. Cool, turn in the slip, we're done for the day. Ideally, in a perfect world, I'd make five runs all week, just one every day. That's all I need. I'm not going to go out there and try to set things on fire. It's going to run on the same 20-lb level that it's been on for most of the year. I know you saw it in PFI video…
