Not enough hours in the day

    
    Paul is getting some well-deserved R&R this weekend after deciding to forgo the trip to Montgomery to race in the Southern Outlaw Tour today. Earlier in the week, he was still aiming to give it a go, but on Thursday night realized that "this is not happening."
   Since his Darlington breakthrough earlier this year, Paul has been building houses during the day and working on the Beast late into the night. "A lot of stuff" was damaged in the engine at Darlington, and Paul has been busy getting everything right again. Most of the work he can do in the shop, but he needed to farm some head work out, and got the job done by James Lyle, one of the guys who prepped engines for Bill Elliott during Elliott's domination of NASCAR. The engine is back, albeit with a slightly different camshaft that may require some tuneup adjustments at the track.
    Beyond the mechanicals, Paul has also addressed the front end of the car where it has been deforming under the Beast's newfound top end speed. As you can see from the pictures, the Beast has been getting a going-over from front to back.

     The Carolina Xtreme ProMod series that Paul and the Beast team are racing in this season is taking the summer off until September, when the weather has hopefully cooled off some. Paul understands that completely, and readily admits he doesn't like racing in the heat either. But with the Beast poised to really break out, Paul said, "I'm on a mission with this car now. I don't care about the heat. We'll go to the next available race, wherever it is." That next race will be in the PDRA series June 27-29 at South Georgia Motorsports Park at Valdosta, Ga.
    We'll preview that race, which should be live-streamed. We'll wrap this up with a feature on James Lyle from his 2015 induction into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame.

MoParty time

    As this is being written, Paul and the Cuda Beast team are on their way to Brainerd Motorsports Park outside Chattanooga, Tenn., to participate in the Southeast MoParty Picnic event today. Paul and the Beast will be on hand to make exhibition runs as part of the show. It's a win-win deal -- picking up a few bucks while getting to test. Looks like a great time for MoPar fans.
   This will be the third test session at BMP this year for the Beast, and the second testing weekend in a row, and the track time is starting to pay off.

Paul said the team has discovered that the rear shocks were bad, a problem that was likely cropping up before last year. The car is sporting new Penske nitrogen filled shocks, and Paul said the Beast's tire-shake gremlins appear to be gone.
    The team made two runs last Friday, getting all the way down more or less on one of them. On test one, Paul said the car basically overpowered the track prep about halfway down after a good launch. For the second run, Paul said he let his right foot be the traction controller instead of the electronic box, and slapped the throttle when the Beast started to spin the tires after another strong start. The front wheels lifted when the power came back in, the car got loose and the front lifted again after more throttle manipulating. In what was basically a shutdown run, the Beast carded a 4.60 at about 100 mph.
    Paul said he has his eye on the track's 3.92 promod record. If you can't make the MoParty event in person, BMP has a pretty good Facebook page that can offer information.

'17 Wrap, '18 Preview: Fowler Play

        It would be gross understatement to say that 2017 was difficult for Paul Gibbs and the Cuda Beast team. Paul's mother died early in the year, and then Paul was involved in a serious traffic accident that put him in the hospital. Any thoughts of racing went to the back burner quickly.
       After a lengthy recuperation, Paul got the Beast out in July for a race at Chattanooga, but did not make the field. In August the Beast went to Steele, Ala. (above), and again did not qualify, but there Paul sensed that something was not right with the new engine. Back home, he started going through the engine and found bad valve springs. Fortunately, there was no damage and all the cylinders checked out at 100 percent.
      But when Paul cranked the car, it wouldn't idle, reaction to the throttle was slow, and then it just didn't sound healthy. Back into the engine, Paul found oil in some of the cylinders. He hooked up the computer to get some fuel usage data and cranked the engine a few more times. The data indicated that there was no fuel boost -- in fact, the car was idling with negative boost, which got worse as the RPMs went up.
      The next day, after a night of poring over the engine data, Paul removed the blower belt and started to turn the blower pulley by hand. He said that if all is good inside the blower, the pulley is hard to turn. This time, it turned easily with one hand. That indicated serious problems inside the case, which Paul subsequently found. It's a lot of technical stuff, but is basically this: A real important gear inside had all of its teeth sheared off. Hence, no boost.
     When he learned that it would take four months to get a replacement part, Paul changed course and bought the latest Roots-style blower from Fowler Engines of Columbus, Ohio. Fowler has long been respected for the performance of its superchargers, and Paul is excited by the change. It's a win-win in every respect -- more boost, less weight, etc.  In fact, Paul said the Beast should be lighter, as the new engine weighs less than the old one. The injector hat will also be new, which means I might have to change the picture of the car on the website masthead.
       So, when will this new combination hit the track? How about this month?

     Plans are to make this race at Bradenton, Fla. Right now, it's in the 40s, 50s and 60s, down there, so we hope the "Outlaw Winter Warmup" will truly live up to its name. I'll be back closer to race day with another post.
    
      

2017 season: Let's test

       Paul and the Cuda Beast team had this weekend circled on their calendar as the start of their 2017 season with the PDRA series opener at South Georgia Motorsports Park. However, a lot of wet weather has put Paul's home construction work behind schedule, so he stayed home to try to get caught up. (The PDRA race is nuts -- 3.68 to 3.88 for the 16 Pro Boost qualifiers).
      When I called Paul Thursday, he was on a roof, but did say a test session is in the offing, in north Georgia at what he considers his home track -- Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip, now known as Brainerd Motorsports Park. It's the track where Paul tried to establish a promod series in 2014. The effort got off to a late start, which led to problems getting enough sponsors to ensure good payouts, and the track management situation was less than ideal. The circumstances were tough, and series ran one time while Paul was healing from a broken back after a fall from a ladder.
    Since then, apparently, things have changed at the track, just over the state line from Chattanooga, Tenn., and for the better, if online comments are any indication. It looks like racers are running the place now and are making improvements.
    The main improvement, Paul told me in our 45-second conversation, is the switch to concrete walls (top photo) after nearly 50 years of relying on guardrails (and not even that in the track's earliest days). Racers hate guardrails, which can impale a car or send it flying during a crash. The walls are a huge (and expensive) safety upgrade.
    The test session could come as early as next weekend. The Beast's new motor got one full run on it last yea at a PDRA race in Virginia, a multiple-pedal job that hinted at good things to come. Paul had traction problems early on, but stayed on the throttle all the way to get some engine data. The ET was 4.28 at nearly 170 miles per hour. With all of the pedaling, Paul said the speed with the old engine would have been a good 10 mph less.
    We'll report any testing news. This year's racing will be strange without the coverage by the late, lamented promodifieds.us site. Paul said he hopes to run a lot of PDRA events, which is good because they are usually streamed live and covered in detail at dragracecentral.com.
    Here are more pictures of Brainerd -- the guardrails coming down, a panorama from a big race last year (what a crowd!), and a shot I took around 1970.

PDRA update -- Q2 run

    Paul and the Beast finished their Q2 run about 30 minutes ago, running a 4.28 that left them way back in a crowded, tough Pro Boost field. The car sounded good on its first run with the new engine, and looked to be on a strong pass until it started to get loose. Paul did a good job to save it and get back on the gas.

   

     The team has one more shot to make the field, and hopefully they can climb the learning curve quickly with this new motor. They will need to find almost 0.4 to make the race. I'm betting Paul would say that the seat of his pants tells him that this new Beast is a different animal. The live feed is good. You can go back to about 1:36 or so -- whatever that means -- and see it.

PDRA update -- Long day Friday

 
     Friday was a long day apparently for Paul and the Beast, as the car was pulled off the starting line during Q1, and didn't get back the rest of the day as rain and huge car counts in most of the classes combined to slow things down (Top Sportsman has more than 70 cars).
    For Paul's class, 27 cars made a qualifying run, and at least two other cars besides the Beast had no time for the round. The entire 16-car field will be under 4 seconds. That is tough racing.
    I'm betting they'll spill over to Sunday to get finished. Paul should have three more chances to qualify if they run all of them. Live streaming by MotormaniaTV worked pretty well today. I'm checking early and often. Fast and safe racing for all.

The race is on

        Yes, it's the PDRA World Finals, and it's this weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park, near Petersburg. It's a long haul for Paul and the Beast, and the team will be heading out Thursday. There will be three qualifying rounds Friday and one more Saturday morning, four shots to try to get the new drivetrain dialed in..
       As this is a PDRA event, it will be live-streamed so you can watch the action wherever you are.Paul's class, Pro Boost, is scheduled to follow Outlaw 10.5, so if you tune in and see Outlaw 10.5 cars running, you'll know the Beast will be up soon. The message board at www.promodifieds.usually has the links to the streaming and to Drag Race Central, which breaks down each round of qualifying. 
      Paul is excited to hit the track again, as his new engine makes the Beast an entirely different animal. Paul had to come up with a work-around to get the car to start, as his starter couldn't crank the new engine because of its higher compression.
     Paul had planned to race last weekend at Darlington, S.C., in the Carolina Xtreme Pro Mods series, but ran out of time. He said the crew finished everything on the car about two hours before they would have to leave for the track. Everyone was already worn out at that point, so Paul decided to stay home.
    There is potentially one more race before the season ends, at Shadyside in November.
    Check the promodifieds.us message board for links to race coverage. I've had pretty good luck catching the Beast on live streaming. Be fast and safe, everyone.

Idle this weekend

  
   If you have followed this race this past weekend, you know that Paul and the Beast weren't on hand.
Paul said a combination of too much construction work and not enough time to get the car fully ready  -- plus the 11-hour drive down there -- persuaded him to keep the Beast parked.
    However, the new engine and refurbished transmission are in the car, and he's close to being able to fire it up. Though the season is winding down, big races remain on the calendar  -- all at place where Paul has run.
First is the Southern Shootout series finale at Montgomery in two weeks, followed by the PDRA finals in Virginia and another race in the Carolinas, that I think is at Shadyside.
     We'll have an update closer to the Montgomery race.

Shadyside spark

        It was a lonnnnnng Memorial Day weekend at Shadyside, thanks to the weather, but the trip proved to be a useful one even though the Beast didn't make the field, qualifying 13th out of 20 or so cars with a 4.32. The big discovery, Paul said, was that the magneto was faulty, which means all the tuneup adjustments basically "never made any difference" because it wasn't firing correctly.
     Paul said he suspects the problem may have begun while the car still ran a clutch, and when it ran its best times. Since the switch to the automatic, the Beast has come within about a tenth of its best clutch performances, and has been wildly inconsistent. "You could have a good run, but it wouldn't repeat," Paul said.
   So, the magneto was sent back to MSD for a thorough refurb, is recertified and back in the car. Confident now that any tuneup changes will be reflected on the track, Paul said he's going back to the fast tuneups when the car had a clutch for his new baseline.  The first chance to run again could be July 9-10 at Huntsville at a Southern Outlaw Tour event. Paul sees it as a test session, since the SOT is a screw-blower series. If the weather isn't too hot, he said, the Beast likely will be there.
    As for the quirky Shadyside track, Paul said the racing surface was great, an uphill shutdown area a la Holiday Beach, and even the hairpin at the end wasn't a problem.

   He said there was plenty of stopping room, but you had to get on the chutes "real quick. If your chutes failed, you'd be in trouble." The difficulty came at the other end of the track, Paul said, as the car had to be pushed back and forth to get it into the staging /burnout area. He couldn't fire the car and pull right into staging  But he likes the series, so it's likely the Beast will be back at Shadyside, and at other tracks in the Carolinas.
   We'll update closer to the Huntsville race.

Keep on the Shadyside

  
    Paul and the Cuda Beast team will be at Shadyside Dragway in Shelby, N.C., which has to be in the running for the most primitive/throwback track in the South, if not the nation. It's hard to believe that fans are this close to the track, where such high-powered machines as promods are running.

     It's not quite the 1960s at famous Southern outlaw tracks such as Paradise Drag Strip in Calhoun, Ga.,

but it's comparable. And the promods can run big numbers at Shadyside, before heading up the hill and turning left through the trees.

    Amazing, and there is a lot of video online (the source of  these images) that is riveting to watch.
So, about the race. It's an eight-car all-run field, no screw blowers, 2,500 pound weight limit -- what Paul said are basically PDRA rules for its pro boost class. Testing is Saturday -- Paul, who has never run at Shadyside, said he hopes to get in a couple of passes then -- followed by three qualifying rounds on Sunday, one more qualifier on Monday, and then eliminations. Keith Dockery  will be along for the race to run the computer, and Paul will also have a former promod tuner who has run 3.9s with a setup almost identical to the Beast's on hand.
    Should be great. There will probably be some info on the message board at promodifieds.us, along with info on the slew of other promod races slated for the holiday weekend. Hope it's a fast, safe weekend for everyone.

Rods and custom

    Paul and the Beast team did not travel to the NMCA Bowling Green race this past weekend, as the customary pre-race run-through of the engine revealed that the rods needed replacing. Paul said he was planning to replace them after Bowling Green, but what he found during the hemi's checkup indicated that now was the time. So, instead of racing last Saturday, he was in the shop working on the engine.
    He does have the next race circled on the calendar, and it's as outlaw as it gets, speaking specifically of the track -- Shadyside in Shelby, N.C., and the Carolina Xtreme Promods.  I enjoy seeing pictures of and watching video from small tracks in the South, and outside of George Ray's, which couldn't handle promods anyway (track record last I knew was 4.84 by a dragster), Shadyside is the most primitive I've seen. There is plenty of youtube video from events at the track, really professionally done, that gives some of the flavor of the racing there. It's hard to believe they go that fast there. Simply riveting to watch.
    The race is Memorial Day weekend. I'll be sure to preview it.

Yeow! NMCA Atlanta recap

        The racing the weekend of April 7-10 was terrible on many levels -- equipment blown up or crashed and the worst that can happen  -- the loss of life. The death of Top Sportsman racer Ronnie Davis at the PDRA race cast a pall over events across the South and beyond. The winds were blowing all across racetracks, to ill effect.
     Paul and the Cuda Beast, racing at the NMCA event at Covington, Ga., was almost part of the destruction, dodging a crashing Gene Musto in what one commentator described as the best driving he's ever seen to avoid a wreck. Yes, it was that close, and Paul even managed to miss the 330 cone.
     The Beast ran what Paul described as an "easy" 4.40 in a test, and then came the qualifying round against Musto, who spent more time in Paul's lane than he did in his own, crossing into it twice before hitting the wall. For once, it was a good thing that the Beast blew the tires on the starting line. Otherwise, the Beast gets smashed, and likely in the driver's door. Paul was pedaling to try to stay in the run, and said it was sheer reaction -- no braking -- to avoid Musto. There's video of it (of course) out there. The Beast wound up the 16th qualifier, drew No. 1 Tim Savell, blew the tires again, and the weekend was done.

         On a good note, computer guru Keith Dockery was back at the track for the first time in a year. He's the big guy in the red and black towering over the car at the back right center.

     Up next for the Beast may be a test session this Saturday at U.S. 43 in Etheridge, Tenn., to get ready for another NMCA event, May 12-15, at Bowling Green, Ky.  Paul said the tuneup focus is on the fuel mix -- "We've got to get it fat enough at the hit. It needs a lot of fuel." One other thing from the weekend concerns windy conditions. Paul said he won't race in the kind of strong winds that blew at Atlanta and many other places that weekend. 
    We'll try to set up the Bowling Green race and offer any info from the test session.

Let's crank this season up

   It's a big weekend for promod racing, with a PDRA event at Rockingham and the Southern Shootout opener at the Super Chevy Show in Memphis, but rather than travel hundreds of miles, Paul and the Beast team are staying closer to home for this NMCA event that is basically just down the road -- at Atlanta Dragway at Commerce, Ga.
   Paul has run well at Atlanta, and also experienced a crazy mishap a couple of years ago when his competition ran into him in the shutdown area. The race is an easy decision -- proximity, good payout and a level field. It's an all-run race -- but there are rules to make it even for blowers (no screws), nitrous, and I guess turbos.
   The team will get set up today for two rounds of qualifying on Friday and Saturday, one round of racing on Saturday, and the conclusion on Sunday.
   The Beast made just one of two test sessions that were on the calendar last month -- at Montgomery Motorsports Park. The track was hosting an Edmund Hall event, but Paul said track prep wasn't minimal, so the team didn't learn much from a couple of test passes. He said they took about 500 horsepower out of the motor, but the Beast still lost traction about 60 feet out. "If the track had been prepped, it might have held the car," Paul said. The team did not go to a test session at U.S. 43 the following week.
   As noted, it's a busy week for racing. I'm sure promodifieds.us will be covering Memphis, and there will be plenty of links to the PDRA event, but I'll keep an eye out for any Atlanta news.
   All racers: Be fast and be safe.

It's 2016, and almost time for racing

          It has been a long time away from the track, but Paul and the Cuda Beast team are getting fired up for their return after a 2015 season that was a tough one away from the racing. Crew member Keith Dockery, who spent most of last year in various hospitals, is getting better, "more like himself every day," Paul said.  This weekend, the team had a party at the shop to get things kicked off.
         The season will start next weekend with a test session at Montgomery Motorsports Park. Last year,  Paul had a conversation with a top pro-mod tuner who had run sub-4s with the same engine and setup that's in the Beast. The tuneup was radically different from what the team had been using, so Paul decided to tear down the motor and get the transmission refurbished so the car would be at peak readiness for the new tuneup. He didn't get to try it before the season ended, but will finally at MMP next weekend.
        It's a much more aggressive tuneup, which sounds counterintuitive for a car that's had problems getting launched. More power when you're blowing off the tires?  That's it. Paul said if they blow off the tires, they'll back down on the tuneup until the car launches. He said if the tuneup works out, he's expecting even better results than his tuner source got because the Beast is a couple of hundred pounds lighter.
       The MMP session will be followed the next weekend with more testing at U.S. 43 Dragway in Etheridge, Tenn.  The first weekend in April is the first big racing weekend, with the PDRA at Rockingham and a Southern Shootout event at the Memphis Super Chevy Show. Also that weekend, just 90 minutes or so down the road, will be a pro-mod event at the NMRA NMCA All-Star Nationals, and that's where Paul said he's planning to take the Beast.
      As far as the rest of the season is shaping up, PDRA events are definite possibilities. I'll post any test session results I learn. Round up your earplugs. The big noise is ready to return.

No racing

    Paul and the Cuda Beast team had hoped to return to the track these past two weekends, but were unable for a couple of reasons, the most serious being health problems for Paul's mother that have required her to be hospitalized. That occurred last week, between the Southern Shootout race at Montgomery and this past weekend's PDRA event in Richmond.
    Before the Montgomery race, Paul said the car was all set to go with a refurbished motor, and the only remaining task was to get the overhauled transmission back into his Dodge dually. The transmission has proved tough to get fixed, and Paul said he tried to borrow another truck to make the Montgomery race, to no avail. Then came his mother's hospitalization.
   Between  that and the long health struggle for Keith Dockery, the team's computer guru and Paul's brother-in-law, this year has been emotionally draining for everyone in the Gibbs family. They can certainly use all the prayers and good wishes you can send their way.
   Paul did mention the possibility of a race in Bradenton, Florida, but that's way off in December.  

It's race day!

     Paul and the Beast will be at Montgomery this weekend for the promodifieds.us Southern Shootout finale. That point series has already been decided, but it should be a terrific race nonetheless, as Montgomery and the Southern Outlaw Tour always put on a great show. It's a screw-blower series, but Paul is eager to try out the Beast's new tuneup at a track where he has run well before.
     Thursday, the Beast was all ready to be loaded up. Paul was in the process of putting the refurbed transmission back into his truck. That will mean he'll miss tonight's qualifying, but will have two shots and a test run or two Saturday. Since he was really busy, I didn't get into plans about next weekend's PDRA race. One at a time.
     Crew member/computer guru Keith Dockery is still having a tough go with medical issues, so keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
     As this is a promodifieds.us - affiliated race, the fantastic Brian C will be trackside to provide his peerless reporting and photography all day Saturday. Check the message board at promodifieds.us frequently. It's almost as good as being there.
    OK, everybody -- be fast and be safe. 

Into the homestretch

       As you might have guessed by now, Paul and the Beast did not make it to last month's Open Outlaw race at Huntsville. The engine was still out of the car then, but should be back in and ready to go for a possible visit to Montgomery this coming weekend.  It's the final race of the promodifieds.us Southern Shootout series, which has already been decided by Dwayne Watkins' dominating performances this year. But it should be a strong field, and Paul is eager to try the Beast's new tuneup against the screw-blower cars.
     In this downtime from racing, Paul has also worked on his hauler and the transmission in his truck. Paul said he's also interested in the season closer for the PDRA, which would be in Virginia. Paul ran pretty well there last year in the tough pro boost class. The PDRA would mean back-to-back racing weekends for the team, so we'll see.
     Paul said crew member and computer guru Keith Dockery should be going back home this month, finally after months of medical issues.
    We'll have an update on the end-of-season races as Montgomery approches.  

Next race?

   Haven't been able to talk with Paul, but last time I did, he indicated this would be the next race. Open Outlaw Racing has a Facebook page that might have some information, and there's a slim chance the message board at promodifieds.us would have some. Hope the weather is good, and that everyone is fast and safe.

Refresher course

        The Cuda Beast will be at home in its shop this weekend, its engine out and apart. Even though it's a PDRA weekend, in Memphis, Paul says it's time for him to go through the 526 hemi and freshen things up, especially since he's going to reset the tuneup baseline and try some new things. "I'm going to need a good engine under me," he said.
      Based on a conversation with former top-team pro-mod tuner who is now working with the identical engine setup as the Beast's and is in the 3.90s, Paul says he has new strategy for programming the timing on the hemi to get it launched and fully powered all the way down the track.
     The Beast's best runs, a couple of 4.07s, came when the car ran a clutch. It has come close to those with the new automatic trans, but consistency and even lower ETs have been elusive. So, Paul is going back to the clutch tuneup that yielded the 4.0s, and starting from there with the automatic.
     The new engine plan involves starting out with less total timing than has been used, taking less of it out at the start and putting it all back in more quickly, after a second into the run. With the old clutch setup, Paul said the timing did not change during the run. From this new baseline, Paul said it will be a matter of adjusting until the car gets up on the tires and gets down the track -- and into the 3.90s.
     The Beast's computer tuning guru, Keith Dockery, has had a difficult recuperation from surgery. Paul said he will likely be in the hospital another week to 10 days, and then into a period of rehab.  Please keep Keith and Louise (Paul's sister) in your thoughts and prayers.
     With Memphis now off the calendar -- bummer, because I was looking forward to seeing the Beast in person as I did last year, but health, physical and mechanical, always comes first -- the next race will be another Open Outlaw Racing event, again at Huntsville on Sept. 12. At the last one, Paul qualified No. 8 with a 4.57 and smoked the tires in a first-round loss to top qualifier and eventual meet winner Rocky Flanagan, who had a 4.0 bracket car all day.
     The next PDRA event likely will be at Bradenton, Florida, the first weekend in October, and maybe the season closer at Richmond a couple of weeks later. If the Huntsville Open Outlaws race gets the tuneup nailed down, Paul said he might try another promodifieds.us Southern Shootout event, likely Sept. 26 at Atmore, Ala. 
    

Racing this weekend: Huntsville Open Outlaw

    Paul and the Cuda Beast return to the track this weekend after almost two months, heading to Huntsville for an Open Outlaw Racing series event Saturday. It is described as a series "for 3.90-4.60 race cars to run heads-up at two great tracks in Tennessee and Alabama." U.S. 43 is the Tennessee track. The series has a Facebook page.
     The purse is small, so the race will be basically a test session for the Beast as Paul looks to get dialed in upcoming PDRA races. At of this writing, more than 16 cars, from promods to dragsters to fuel altereds, have indicated they'll be on hand. Not sure if there will be any online news from the track, though the Cruzin-USA reality TV show will be filming the event for an upcoming show.
     While the team will be focused on racing, they'll also be thinking about team member Keith Dockery, the Beast's computer guru and Paul's brother-in-law, who had surgery this week in Chattanooga and will be in the hospital into next week. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Paul said crew member Gregg Cash is past his medical problems and should be at the track this weekend.
     Paul said he has added two new crew members -- Greg Parker and Toby Collins, a Top Sportsman racer from nearby Blairsville, Ga.-- to help on race weekends. Paul said he's hoping to make the remaining PDRA events this year. First up will be Memphis, in my neck of the woods, Aug. 20-22, so I'm looking forward to seeing the car in action again. Then it's Rockingham (Sept. 10-12), Bradenton, Florida (Oct. 1-3) and the world finals in Richmond (Oct. 22-24), where the Beast ran well last year. The Beast's class, Pro Boost, is the most competitive at PDRA events; the last one had some 30 cars vying for 16 spots. At the last event, in Maryland, the field was all sub-4 seconds, separated by less than a tenth of a second.
    I'll have a Huntsville recap next week. Be fast and be safe, everyone.
