I know but I still have a small oil leak and not sure how bad it is. Oh yeah and I need hood pins so I'm not worried about my hood blowing off. Don't mind the long drive, it sounds like fun just got a few issues I need to take care of.

You've got a few weeks to get it straightened out. You should definetely try to make it since it will be the last time you'll make it to an event before your surgery.

As for your hood, I'd suggest making a thread in the Late Model Restoration forum and ask Tony what he's got to help you out. Some hood pins and a safety latch would give you a great piece of mind.

Remember guys, as a member you get a discount with our vendors. They are hear to help and we've got a great bunch of vendors here. Be sure to give them your buisness! :)

It's a ways for me too since I'm in Wylie. But to get to any event like this we have to get out into the countryside. No traffic, great scenery, tons of twists and turns. The first time I did this, I had my reservations as well, then I did it and it was a BLAST! Plus, you get to do it with members from the club with the same interest. It's a win/win. :)

Didn't think about that. I will do that. Also need to get with Clint about the oil pan gasket to see what he can do.

Would like to make this one to meet you guys as that is great drive, but i leave for Colorado that Friday.

I'm going to have to agree with the majority here though, 60 miles? Truestreet, CnC, the tracks, most meets....all are at least 60 miles away from me one way, just look at it like a 45 minute to hour drive. Bring a lady friend so you don't get bored :derp:

Don't hit a bump either

how fast and slow is the cruise speeds? not sure if the vert would be up for the slow turns, or are these larger s turns more than sharp hairpins? Itd be a lot more fun to take though if the roads are smooth. NOT taking it anywhere Ill get rock chips.

I could bring the Vette if the wife wants to go, doubt she will want to put 100+ miles on it though.
