Road Trip Key West 2021

[BluLightning]

You had mentioned this was an 80 HP increase - that seems like quite a big jump in such a little / lite car.
Should be fun to drive!

If what I've read is correct, it should get the car up close to 300 rwhp so it should scoot pretty good.

I got step one of the Solstice mods done today. The charge tubes and intake are replaced. Now I've got to get the tune in it and datalog it for fine tuning.

Hello Group, I’m trying to get info. on the Key West trip. Can someone point me to the details? I live in Fort Lauderdale and go down frequently. A while back a group out of Northern Florida did a yearly run that I did 4-5 times, was a blast.

Thanks

Welcome Joe! Any GS pictures? Now back to trip discussion!

Wagon Master, Monster, all, I will have to pass on the trip this year. Busy. Two Great Grandsons 1 1/2 weeks old, wonderful Gov Cuomo loosened travel so I can go fishing on Lake Ontario with my son and already supposed to be close to 90 degrees next week in my neck of the woods here in Texas. So, I will stay put and keep wiring on my 65 GTO.

Wagon Master, how many cars are you thinking that are going? You stated about a dozen about a month ago. It does sound like a good time. Hank

Hank - I haven't asked for an update lately so I still think we are around 12. I was going to get an updated head count in a couple of weeks. Have fun with great grand kids, fishing and everything else you haven't been allowed to do for the last year.

This trip is in noway associated with the Key West Power Cruise of old. It is not organized nor does it have any scheduled events. Sunday night some of us are staying in Florida City. Monday night thru Thursday morning we are staying at the Silver Palms Inn. I had posted a list of potential points of interest and activities for folks to choose from.

The Key West trip discussion started on Page 11. Page 16 has a listed of potential stops / points of interest.

I got my confirmation that we do have tickets for Talladega! We are all set.

Not that I watch much anymore but I hope they don't try to turn that into a dirt track!! That was plum silly.
Oh FYI we're booked at the HIE on SR70.
