Thanks Billy, I would have liked to run there too.  I have talked to a few fellow racers that ran there and they said it was the smoothest track they have ever been on.  It also would have been fun to set a record there with a Y-Block for others to shoot at.

Their meets are in July and another big swing back east like we did in 2008 would be great.  We could do Maxton in June, Loring in July, Columbus in early September and make the October Bonneville meet.

Corene and I spent 70 days in that 8' camper on the first trip.  We stayed with friends and relatives from time to time, but 58 nights were spent in the camper and we did quite well.  Do I think she would put up with 140 days on the road?  We would have to hit up every friend, acquaintance and relative for lodging to survive that.

I was hoping to see the brick run at Loring before you retired it? The reveiws of the place have been great from what I read, the people like it a lot.

Thanks Todd,  a little break from the floor to set up the rear axle.  The driveline angles will help determine the tunnel dimensions.

UPS brought a nice surprise.  The alloy axles, studs and bearing retainers are from Strange.  The narrowed 9" housing and pumpkin setup are performed by Speed Frame Engineering in Farmersville, CA who sponsor me (thanks Al).

I like the floor bracing that ties to the transmission X-member.

Firewall is going to look great with the tunnel finished off...that's a very impressive undertaking that's unfolding beautifully.

They say anyone can restore a car, but it takes a real man to cut one up! GOOD JOB!
