Hoping to have the racecar running by then.

Gotta finish wiring it,some minor fuel system plumbing too,add a minimal exhaust system,and get a yoke/driveshaft,and I gotta buy a new harness and a Meziere electric waterpump,among other things.

But even if it aint running by then,I'll be there to spectate for sure.

Got some new cameras over the winter that I wanna try out.

There are a few other events aound here that I hope to attend this summer too.

Should be getting new motor back in 7-10 days, then off to the chassis Dyno. Hope to make it. if i do, locking in first race off trailer against a red tempest. Heard he's got some new parts to make that street car faster this year. Sure hope to see a yellow ta out too.

I'm trying to end our family vacation a day early to attend. Last years attendance was pretty sad, With the amount of Pontiac people in the area this should or could be a huge event. Maybe its not promoted well or maybe area people don't want to race there cars. It sucks having this event and only 20 or so Pontiacs show up. I see more Wi/Ill cars attend Norwalk.

Weather is'nt helping me.

And kinfolk keep dropping in lately to visit too.

Fingers crossed -and- I really gotta get to working on the car soon.

Need a few lucky breaks too,like finding some extra $$$$ for this,that,the other.

I'm going, don't race (yet) but always go, park in the car show area and watch the races. If I knew would Slim Jim wouldn't blow up I'd make a few passes! LOL If we don't support these events, they will go away!

Just put in for the day off work and plan on attending. Going to get a spare alt belt since last time at da grove I chucked one in the staging lanes and had to go hunt one down at various auto stores.
