I saw the fuel before the fire happened last night and was like "Oh ****, that's gonna be bad" Not as bad as I thought, but wow what a fire.


Anyone see my tool post btw on the last page?

took daisy out last night during that caution and came back in the race was red flagged....seen the partial replay more than a dozen times before it got restarted.....

The weather service just added the possibility of t-storms and thunder snow.....now everything is about covered except tornadoes.....

Anyone have any good tool recommendations for the COP change. I want to get a ratchet set, extensions, and a torque wrench. Any good deals that won't break the bank?
look for them on Amazon.com.....pretty much the best prices I've found....

you'll need the socket with extension

lisle tool

torque wrench??? I use snapon and my more economical ones are made by KT tools

cordless impact....life saver....

universals, swivels, extensions.....etc....

7mm socket for the cop hold down bolts....

the good thing about jet and diesel fuel is that its only really explosive while being sprayed....such as an injection....yes they are still flammable but more controlable compared to gasoline...

just posted about your tool question....

Thanks 88,

I'm not going to touch the plugs though, so I can wait on the Lisle tool I think. I had been looking on Amazon the past few days, but any recommended brands? I've read quality issues about Craftsman, but I wonder if they will be good for me since they won't see heavy use. I have a few wrench sets by Stanley and they seem ok.

Yep, she was.



The bulbs made a big difference. At least there is a little light when backing. In Burleson, I have a long driveway with trees and sprinkler heads on both sides that I back out of. In Brownboro, I have to back out of a fairly narrow gate. The bulbs really help with that. Thanks again.
