I've made my reservations so I'm hoping to be there. I've got some work to do on the motor this weekend to get it ready. Seems that shifting at 8000 rpm is hard on valve springs and requires swapping them out about every 20 passes or so!

Well I was really hoping to, but Joe tech has an issue with my carb. I was hoping since (even it I take the weight out) I'd still be a half second off they would let me come out and have fun, but it sounds like a no-go. So I will be spending my weekend up at Byron for TnT.

We'll be there! Leaving in the morning with both the GT and the Mach1 ('72 that is.....not a new one.) As always we'll be driving them both, but I'm planning on running the GT in True Street. Hopefully nothing will let go, 'cause it's a long walk home!!
