Well -- that's a pleasant lineup to see during this long winter.  What'd I find -- at least four vehicles with a 300+++ capability?  Lots of other folks that are going to enjoy the test-and-tune atmosphere of the event.  I wish I could go, but it'll be pretty difficult for me to find the extra time off to mosey back and forth yet one more time this summer.

By the quick way -- this year is the first in quite a few years that it appears flying will be appreciably MORE expensive than driving, even figuring in a couple of days and nights room and board for Nancy and me.  Wow-o-man have air fares gone way up.  Interesting -- when I searched I found the highest quoted prices on Cheapo Air.com.  Delta and AA are the only two the have service up here, and driving to Chicago or even Milwaukee/The Cities is too far to make it worth while.

Back to Test & Tune.

Stainless and I are planing on going but since he has a dyno to tune the motor we are not taking the Bockscar Lakester. We won't have to spend a week to take it apart to clean it :-D

So, your idea of the big guns is all the cars that haven't run yet?
