May or may not, however I can disclose the test mule for the auto is getting a proper converter. I will share all the info once its all sorted, you should make plans to come up, seems like this might be the best year yet!

I am seriously considering it. I turn 40 this year and my wife said I could go anywere I wanted... Well see. My motor is still strong but I am going to have to go another route on the clutch set up. Only one weekend on this one and it started to feel a tad off by the 5th pass.

The clutchmasters 825 seem to be the answer, well provided you Wana drop 1600 on the clutch, plus the t2 bell housing and t/o. But since the auto is lurking arround the corner...
This or the pan-ams is a great event! And with this a month after the pan ams it should be even better.
In the next month or so the northeast drag team should ALL be reassembled and hitting the tracks... I have a feeling it might be like a track rental day with a rotary car show...

Len,

You motivated me!!! I took some time off from work and will try to get the car ready for the event. It will be close and a lot of work. Hopefully I can make it.
