    Glad you're OK, Nate! Try to keep the car facing the RIGHT WAY...

    :D

    Wish I could make Indy... Been ages since I was up there.

    Eek! I've done that rolling reset before. I think I'll hold off from now on...

    Keep safe.

    Hey Nathan - I found this so you can disregard my question in the other thread! Ugh! Have a safe trip the rest of the way! Can't wait to see pics and hear all about this wonderful event!

    Tuesday - Wow long day.

    Left Indy at about 9 AM Eastern after swapping out the 215/45 for a 215/40. Arrived Sterling CO about 10:30 PM Mountain Time. Hit all the I states along the way.

    Having engine issues again too, P0304, misfire cyl 4. So long as I keep it over 1200 RPM it runs fine.

    Very discouraged with this right now.

    Need sleep, will be in Winter Park tomorrow.

    Thanks for the offer. Took I 80 as I've never been to Iowa or Nebraska. Now I have. Currently sitting at table on a deck at Winter Park awaiting lunch.
