I wonder if I can put an engine in and wire it to run by Friday night. Hmmm. Probably not, so I get to run the e85 car up to anaheim. Its ugly, but man is it fast.

Unfortunately I will not make it this year. The Mountain Shark still needs her timing belt -water pump done, radiator fixed or replaced, a few other odds and ends. I was thinking of driving the Challenger down, which I've been spending most of my project $'s and time on this past year, but then I added up the cost of gas for a 1200 mile round trip, in a car that gets 11mpg, and, well, quite frankly, given the "state" of my budget (as in State employee with furloughs) that amount of gas money is much better spent on the shark's repairs. I hope to make it next year, last year was a blast.

Gosh, I don't think I have ever heard a Roll Call with so many AWOLs.
I'm taking some of my Spare Tire Covers, my Cowl Covers and Seals and my new Windshield Trim Gap Filler Strips, not to mention some watches and stuff for door prizes. I suppose you guys that are not coming are the ones who really need some of these things.

Left Miami at 9PM PT heading towards the fest in a new shark to the tank:
Great drive so far. 350 miles in and all's well...
... Any prise for the farthest driven? It will be a little over 2700 miles to 928 intl

I'll be at the HI on Friday.
Still working out how I'm going to get home!
Never heard back from that '87.

I'm in Glendale where that car is supposedly at, but don't know that car. Sorry I won't be here to help recover it with you.

Ken, drivers are accounted for, but you can defenetly give the grey one a drive to let me know what you think of it! Hopefully we will get to hotel around 1/ 1:30 and then a quick trip to 928intl for a pre parts buying spree.

You could always take my 85 back up to portland and tune it (for the e85 and 36lbers) while you have it.
