Sounds crazy as usual David! Awesome results too!
I sure have been busting my hump the past few weeks myself......reducing the vehicle weight (made my goal BTW - time for a new one now), installing the coilovers, alignment and corner balance, getting the JDM rear bumper and front bumper painted and put back on, putting the new exhaust on, now I have to clean the car up for this weekend.
This is going to be an awesome weekend. This is my 4th DSM/Evo Shootout, but my first one competing!

mrjdmjimi, I've worked those kind of hours for years in a row, I know how you feel. I hope you like what you are doing or it is just misery.
I use to work in a steel mill as a laborer, I worked there all day and then I had a gym I opened and ran for 2 straight years. So I'd leave the steel mill go the gym and work there until it closed, 7 days a week like that for 2 years until I got tired of the cry babies in the fitness industry and closed it at the end of my lease. From there the car stuff was already going strong and I was building parts while I was working at the mill and running the gym too. The parts took over and I ended working afternoons at the mill so I could be home and working until I left for the "real" job in the afternoon. Those were super long days.
It's OK if you like what you are involved with, I can't imagine if I had hated it all.

This post explains so much.

.Have a great shootout; I'll make it out there next year
.Unfortunately family concerns take first priority.

haha, my grip isn't what it use to be, working on it again though.
I agree, but I will settle for seeing these guys run 9's on race gas.
Today was another good one. I got a troublesome 500 whp pump gas EVO, which is actually BR350 #017, sorted out. The car has been plagued with a misfire problem for a long time, hit and miss with it though. It ended up being a sensor issue.
Also did a 39 psi pull on Matt's car, which made 675 whp.
The guys at the shop are busting butt for the shootout this weekend. It is going to be the biggest ever.
