  • Ready to drop out?

    Hey guys, those of you that are not ready yet, remember time is ticking. There are guys that are ready that are on a waiting list. Quit dreaming and throw in the towel. We will understand! You really didn't want to go anyway. I have an all new car and the wait is killing me! This picture was taken yesterday!

    I'd show up at the gate fully expecting to make the trip. There were about 60 no shows last year. What is your waitlist number?

    On the other hand, thank you for the motivation.

                I was heading back from Las Vegas and around 1am and 150 miles from home started getting mis-fires and in short order the engine quit. I believe the HEI ignition coil fried. My space shuttle display was up and running and it didn't lean out like when the fuel pump is shut off, it was definitely an ignition mis-fire. Checked for loose wiring and then called a tow truck.

                Working on some valve covers right now to mount 8 LS ignition coils on

                    I hear ya... but if I felt I couldnt make it by the 15th,
                    I'll cancel and let someone else in... I'm going either way...
                    either in my ride or with my buddy(Quick52) and ride shotgun again....
                    but I'm sure I'll be ready.... JMO... but if I felt I couldnt make it I
                    would cancel as soon as I could so someone on the list could make
                    their preparations to go .... I would want to know if I was on the list

                              I guess I'll have to rework my list of people I need to meet face to face.
                              I have trouble keeping names and cars straight. Not to mention BS names
