If it was a bit closer say 2000 miles closer I would be there for sure  :-)
Whatcha do Ron, is come out & run the T&T, leave your stuff at my place & fly home. Then fly back out for SW, only to find your roadster has sprouted a large KB 600.  :roll:

Sid, I had suggested last month that USFRA post a tally so as to encourage 'hand-sitters' to get off the pot  :x-   do you have an idea where we are?

If you are actually going to run a push truck in the 130 club you will need a driveshaft hoop, H or higher rated tires, metal valve stems and caps, and a metal battery hold down.

Don, drilled holes to mount the loop.... have a plan for the battery hold down...  haven't checked tires yet, valve stems are metal bolted in pressure readers, but they have a plastic cover.... I have pics of the metal internals and how they are bolted in... Will check with tech to make sure I'm within the park. 
They need entries, I'll give 'em one....  :cheers:

Stainless, I didn't intend this to be directed toward you, I was attempting to just give a heads up to anyone thinking of doing this to prevent disappointment.

I'm hoping more people follow your lead.    :cheers:

Don, I spent most of yesterday looking for H rated tires for the push truck.... found them.... figured on waiting till they said it was on before ordering.... hey the truck is about ready for new tires anyway....
So I guess we all wait a little longer to see what the salt looks like...  :cheers:

I used an appropriate word with the same amount of letters that started with a capital F! :-(
