How is the turnout?? We are still in va, and I am trying again to get this bike together...mixing and matching parts from different machines...



Fingers crossed, we roll out sometime tonight....

The number I heard numerous times today was 45. Tim said he was expecting about 70. Weather was bad today, but all is a go for tomorrow

Still sounds like enough to make it a worthwhile event...

We got most of the work done...now if the darn paint would only dry!  :-D



We'll head out early AM, looking forward to seeing some folks tomorrow, and racing Sunday. :-)

The corvette lost a push rod.
Note the line in staging in the background.
Bonneville is proof that God loves us and wants us to go fast.

     Could always be worse, the lighter noises are better than the deep knocking one$.  Still a bummer though not being able to use all that track and time available.

     All the best for a fix of some sort before the end of the meet.
