In any event, I believe that it is truly full.

There are currently 88 Instructors signed up, with 58 running in Red according to the website. 10 in Pink and the remainder in Black. All subject to change.

Engine and Tranny are in the car. I stil have some electrical stuff to hook up and then I'll fire it up tomorrow morning.
Special thanks to Rob and Jim at Eurowerks for getting my transmission finished up for me PDQ! I sincerely appreciate their efforts!
Funny story. My engine has been out of the car for 1 week and 3 days. Tonight, after mating the engine with the chassis, I lowered my engine dolly. I then noticed a small pile of various acorns and nuts on the dolly pad. Then as I was working under the car hooking up the starter, I heard something, and out of the corner of my eye saw a small mouse hop from the bottom side of the engine, onto the ground, and off into a corner of the shop.
I've checked the engine over good, haven't noticed anything. I think he/she was using the pad as a place to keep warm.
Kind of funny at the time!

It seems that there will be a fun group of fast guys to play with. Sucks for me at this point!

Looks like I'm not going to make it after all. 
Something happened to my turbo as I was driving the car trying to get some break in miles on my new motor. I was hoping to get enough this weekend and then have it aligned at Autometrics and dynoed Wed before leaving Thurs.
Did I say I was

Ah crap. Very sorry to hear that. My car is "supposed" to be ready but I am getting very, very paranoid at this point. I can't imagine missing it.
OK, now for the vulture in me . . . did you have a reservation at the lodge, and if so . . . . ?
