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.

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.

Alright guys
Are we still up for this show? I need to sign up for everything…

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]

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]

Damn, I posted the entire weekend saga, complete with photos and videos, clicked “Submit” and it disappeared. Too late to do it over now.

Welcome! I met one of the Fusseneggers a few years ago at the Pittsburg Grand Prix. The famly still has a fiberglass parts business called Smoothline. The man did not recall how many BCWs they made. I think he said it was way fewer than 200, though he did say a lot went overseas.
