Just thought of another thing to coordinate - filming of the event and the congolmeration of raw video afterwards...but I guess I'm getting ahead of myself here. I'll be bringing a digital cam & digital video cam.

You've got three or four options. Sleep in your car is one, but probably not the best. There is PLENTY of space to pitch a tent. The house is large and the Swifts offered areas where folks could roll out sleeping bags. I imagine the couches are spoken for, I believe the guest suites are too. The final and slightly expensive option ($55) is the Knights Inn in Lebanon 2 miles up the road.

Harry, I could help you get them in sync if that's the problem. It's been a while since I messed with them but I guess it's like riding a bike. Let me know if there's any way I can help.
I also have a big book on Dellorto carbs around here somewhere. It's yours if you want it.

i might have to take you up on that. i have 2 books on em from cb performance (prob same one you have). i believe the prob lies with needing a new accelerator pump, and possably somewhere with the jet and emultion tube sizes.. either way im running really rich. im thinking of calling cb performance tomarrow to see what they suggest...

did you have drla's? thats what i have

I will be there, but it looks like I dont know when and for how long. Being that the fest is right in my backyard, I have have some family holiday socializing to attend (re: Grillmeister duties).

Hey Pete, Im seriously thinking of putting the pcar in the CVille Americana festival car show on Mon July 5. $10 and a free shirt I think. I think its peoples choice with special awards for mayors choice etc. Theres a sports car class but Im hoping to be in the stock 80-89 class. I dont think wheels and stuff dsiqualifies from stock - only engine, sheetmetal, etc mods. I dont want a bunch of Bubbas in their tricked out SVTs to get all the glory so someone needs to represent Stuttgarts finest.
