It seems the following weekend is when the prices drop across the board including the weekends unfortunately.

Lois seems interested in going this year but wants to follow in her car. We might stay late on Sunday if that is the case or even add Monday – not sure yet.

You’ll be missed, Roy. Jack, are you in?

I’ve done a couple on line searches for hotels in VA Beach with private parking and the list is pretty slim. The Oceanfront comes up as reasonable compared to other pricing.

Ah dang. Roy man, We miss you. God bless and hope your troubles are temporary.

Sorry Guys, I’m out.  Family health problems.  Don’t even know what state I’ll be in when the show’s on.  Julie and I are fine but it’s just a bad time.

Have not checked yet as I was looking to see who was going. Looks like Paul is out – Roy and Jack – you in?

Anyone else interested?

Was just thinking it’s time to book the room. I like the place because of the garage parking but if something just as nice came about for less money I’d jump. Schu are you researching?

I have not booked accommodations. I have registered for the show. If you can find a deal on a Hotel, I’m in.

Great report, Bill! Glad to see you avoided any critical incidents and got up that hill with more speed. Amazing that she’s running 7/8 and you didn’t notice. My suggestion: FE block; 428ci. More is more!

Step 1) Panhard Rod. This will keep the body centered over the rear axle.

Step 2) Get rid of the cut down leaf springs. Look under the rear axle spring perch and          you’ll probably find they are already broken.

Step 3) Replace the springs with adjustable trailing arms. You can build mounting plates and use the existing mounting points…[Read more]

They just posted official results. Raw times, I placed 85th out of 106. Average speed 56.9.

37.14 seconds behind first.

A lot of information on this report. If you open it, I’m running in Specials, S3. One of the last classes l…[Read more]

Attempt 2.

I prepped the car as best I could. I opted to NOT flat tow the car after last year’s debacle. I put the race tires on here at the house and drove it up. It’s less than 20 miles. It looked pretty much like the Clampett’s truck.

We made it to Registration OK. On the way up it started running rough and getting hot. I though I had that…[Read more]
