This is the usual place holder for pics from Wilmington this weekend.

I'll be driving up to Wilmington tomorrow and I'll be taking pics Friday, Saturday and Sunday and will post the links in this thread.

Also, anyone who has pics, please feel free to post here!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather here today for tech inspection. Low 80's, no clouds and plenty of sunshine.
Very good turnout for this meet! I don't know what the final entry count is but it has to be close to full of 150!
Talked with many old friends and met quite a few new ones.....Always a good time for me.

Here is my Google+ link of today's bikes and cars:

Ahhh . . . the Suede-a-baker has arrived.

Tell Chuck about Bonneville - I'm beginning to think he's never heard of the place!

Yeah, I know - the expense - but for the money he spends dragging that thing from Loring to Wilmington, he might just as well throw his hat into the ring AT LEAST ONCE!

And Chris, the interesting thing is that he went with these guys to SpeedWeek and left his car in NC!



BTW, this car is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL and this will be it's 1st outing!

~2 liter Ford (I think).  Check with Burton Brown.

I'm so ashamed - I saw the car at World of Wheels in West Allis, Wisconsin last February, pitted next to Burton in 2013, and didn't recognize it.

I can tell you more about cars being built in New Zealand than I can folks right up the road . . .

Yup - Kent block with a custom head.

Shame on me . . . 

Guess I never saw it with the engine cover off.

No worries, Chris.  At Speedweek he had a "stock-appearing" Kent motor (complete with finned aluminum "Capri" valve cover) in the car ("for licensing") but took the time to show Drury & me his special engine.

Again, absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather here today. Mid 80's, really COOL looking wispy clouds and plenty of sunshine.
Surprising news at the drivers meeting this morning. Donna and Joe Timney are retiring from the ECTA and Brian Lohnes (announcer here and 1/2 owner of Bangshift.com) and his wife Carrie (I think that's right) are assuming their positions!
I wish all four happiness in their new adventures!

As for racing today.....Spectacular!
