So, everyone should post a pic of their ride that they're taking so we know who's who. Here's a recent one of mine. If you're spectating, be sure to say Hi.

A friend of mine will be there in his 56 Chevy, twin turbo bbc will run mid 7's. He drives it everywhere, Glen is his name.

Good luck to all, this is on my bucket list, but my junk breaks so much! I have to work the gremlins out.

I'm guessing that would be Glen Hunter Jr? Do you know Frank Romano as well?

Yes that is Glen Hunter, great guy, his friend Frank has the silver 55 Chevy I think. I don't know Frank. Glen I speak with often. He drives the ***** out that beast, and it is bad a$$. Next car hang out I go to with him he said will take me for a ride.

Thankfully you already have a turbo car, I still complain to the guy that gave be a ride in a 9.50 turbo Mustang long ago, " You know how much money you cost me? "
Turbo fever, there is no cure!

You bet!! My last 3 cars were turbo. I don't think I can ever not have a turbo or supercharger car again.

My friend Dave Hoover is taking his 64 Tempest. It has a 541 with TH400 and Gear Vendors. I wanted to run my 68 GTO but lack of funds is keeping me out this year. Need to start saving for next year or find a better paying job.

Yes, HER car and yes, she is driving. Should run in the 11 teens to 20's in "street" trim. Maybe a little quicker if the weather is nice and I fudge with it and drop the exhaust.

We made the drive today with no issues. Car ran like a champ and it looks like we got around 8-9 mpg. Put a power valve in her car and jetted it down.
