    I actually enjoyed the dates in May for the main meet. I will be unable to make the meet in the fall. Got a big family trip to the Virgin Islands in November that we are planning on. That is sucking up all my money currently.

    Would love to go in the fall, but I'm saving for mod money. Got a lot to improve on for next year.

    yep, from last year to this year, I will definitely have new tires and sliders. Hoping to have both bumpers and skids done, too. Just depends on how quickly I learn to weld and if my money tree will start growin.
