Wish I was going to be there!

Good luck, everyone, and be safe! :cheers:

Hi All
Well there's not much time left before the ECTA opening event in Wilmington.
 Is everybody ready? Our Lakester has once again undergone a few more changes with the hopes of gaining a bit more on the record. Biggest news this year will be the first attempt at running a replacement iron flathead V-8 block which is still under construction but it will be ready and running in April. So many decisions to make as to the tune up while trying to keep it safe but still make a bit of power for some speed. So as of today just 30 days left.

Eric, what are your power numbers now? To every one going -- may the sun shine upon you, may the wind be on your back and may every one arrive back home safe and sound. And oh yeah, go fast(er).

Ken I am at 55 hp on Joe Heffernans dyno. I need 47 to go 125 mph so lets hope the creek don't rise. I will miss you in shut down.

Jon - Of course I knew it would take longer than expected but it's taking longerer!

Ken (and Leslie) - we're missing you!  I mean all of us.  Hope you can cruise out sometime.  I don't know how close I get to Archer Lodge on my route but you're welcome to hitch a ride any ol' time.

Leaving sometime tomorrow then overnight in Charleston, WV.  See y'all Friday afternoon.
