Any chance of the Maro Special making it out to the Shootout? Seems that this car has a ton of potential to go really fast :-D

I agree as well. I'm sure that an invite has been extended their way and it seems like a great opportunity to continue the development of that car. I'm sure time and expense are a huge determination though. I'll keep my fingers crossed  :-D

Am I correct that there are only 3 cars that are showing up for sure, and the others have not decided yet?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Tom, you're correct.  Three cars, one bike liner, four sit-on bikes.  Nobody else as of this morning - as far as I know.  Ron Main and his crew are here - shot the  breeze with Ron and Marty, one of the crew.  Haven't sen anyone else yet.

Just got back....watching the Nish crew load the #998 streamliner.  The shop was quiet...a little bit of nerves...a little bit of excitment...and a whole lot of hope.

The we be on the salt early Sunday morning!!

Here's more news, folks.  I hear that the Rice brothers, a/k/a Chronologic Timing, will be running a small FM radio broadcast station at the Shootout.  I haven't talked with them yet - they aren't hear, and I heard the story from Mike Cook - but I'll try to get the audio hooked up with our internet streaming thingamajig so you can listen to the stuff from the Shootout.

Remember -- the Shootout is usually hours of boring nothing - with the occasional frantic run lasting five minutes.  It's not something that you'll have on all the time at the office, although all the time while you're in the shop might be great.

We also intend to have Brian Leckey's crew producing video feature-ettes for the evening news and the local home tv stations of the competitors and so on.  Those feature clips will be available, if all goes right, here on landracing.com.  We will have a link to wherever we store them - so you can watch them in your own time frame.

Donations will be helpful.  Thanks -- and hang on, this is going to be a good Shootout with four sit-on bikes as well as the super-duper streamliner cars and bike.

Jon, what's the latest out there? It's getting close to decision time for me. When things got soggy yesterday I used the opportunity to come home and take care of some stuff. I can be back.  :-D Wayno

What I'm really trying to ascertain is, has it dried out enough that someone might go for a BIG one first thing tomorrow?  :wink: Wayno
