I'm still trying to get Chris to actually sign up with the ACRA. He said he would so I'm working on him.

Better get a sock and a bar of soap and work on him harder!

bada-boom! Eh, I'll be here all week and don't forget to tip the waitress!

If I can get the car done I'm in! I will be there with or without the racecar helping out a friend and his Porsche racecar.

Who are you helping Minkoff? Mark?
What is left for you to do on your car?
My new motor may be getting the twin plug treatment also. Still waiting to hear what Alan & Randy Aase think/plans for the new 2.5L SS.

My dad may be going also.

I am helping Thom Kuby.
I need to install the engine and finish wiring the MSD's and coils.
Are you refreshening the 2.5SS?
Be prepared to "dig deep" to twin plug.
I am at $3,500.00 not including my labor and my mechanics labor.
See you at Willow.

I still have my original 2.5L SS in the car, Alan will finish up 2.5L SS #2 once he is done with Mark's. We did somethings different on the inside on #2. So I thought, why not twin plug it also.

#1 has about 65 hours on it (two seasons) so it is about time. After every race Alan cuts open my oil filter and says it is still clean. I may keep it as a back up, then eventually tear it down for new bearings.

#2 has bigger valves, T crank, Pauter rods, DC60 cams and all internal case mods (already done), head mods. I just need to buy the cams. Still waiting to hear on the twin plug.

I thought you were long stroking #2?
If not you made the right choice.
65 Hours? I would not go past 75-80, its just not worth the risk. I took my 2.5 down at 40 hours ( too soon) no wear mains and rods. It did give me the chance to upgrade, cams and twin plug.

OK, I am officially in. I cleared the day off from work today and sent my payment via Paypal a few seconds ago.

[450knotOffice]

Woohoo, Chris. I'm having issues getting that day off at work. I think I'm starting to feel something coming on. Flu maybe?

[slodave]

Alright Chris!

We're gonna have some fun!

Scott, I think Dr. Porsche can confirm your flu.

[Chris Tallon]

See you all there. Accuweather 15 day forecast shows clear and sunny all day with a low of 31 and a high of 60. Bring yer woolies lads.

I'm in! With Racecar, Sending forms tomorrow.

[campbellcj]

Argh! I have a (vaporware) product delivery deadline on 12/14 so will miss yet another one...but at least I should have racin' money for next year! Have fun guys.

[nostatic]

it is f*cking cold in the morning...dress really warm. And be prepared for winds all day, although saturday was calm until about noon. Other than that it was beautiful and will likely be again.

Bring plenty of water. Even when it's cold you get dehyrated in nothing flat.

[italcarguy]

Wow, looks like there'll be a small group of VARA cars.

Thanks Jack, great list. I will see what I can get together. Another question, is their someplace that we can keep everything we bring so not riding around with us on the track?
