Frank:

I'm ready, but as you know, the car isn't.  Sure hope I can get it fixed by then.

I've been practicing this summer, I think I'm ready. Maybe 1 more practice. I think it kinda gets in your blood.

Hey Frank, we are packing our bags right now. If everything goes to plan, we will be leaving Sydney Aug 29. I sure hope I can take some Hot Rod/Y-Block Magazines to read. Around 13 Hrs (give or take a few minutes) to LAX. The only thing that's going to stop us getting to the Y Block Family Reunion is a Surface to Air missile  I sure hope to see everyone there. Regards Lon56

P.S. Hey Dennis, I found a couple of sets of new 239 inlet gaskets. They're already packed.

All set and ready to go! Only problem I have is that my 56 will be coming down on the back of a scrub roll off Oh well, I can't complain my buddy is lending it to me for free and it saves me worrying about breakage. I even remebered to pack the sleeping pills I slip into Lon's drink every year before we race............... Oh darn, did I say that out loud

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

John, what did you do to the Hurricane? I hope it is nothing serious, Columbus would't be the same without it. And by the way, I heard it through the grapevine that Wally sold his 56, is this true? if so does he have another ride? Take care all and see ya in Columbus

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Rob:

Was having a bad, intermittent miss that started all at once.  Been working on it for about 3 weeks, and this morning I took another test drive down the road, and it is OK now.  The bad part is, I did so much changing of parts that I don't know what fixed it.  I also noticed the tires were worn out, so I'll have to put "sticker" tires on it for EXPO.

Lon,

Thanks, but I hope you don't jinx me. I haven't had a problem in over a year with the intake. Have a safe trip and make sure your socks are clean.
