Top Flight?

I'm going to take my 67 327/300 to try for my first top flight for this car. The NCRS has a chapter event this Saturday the 19th in central Florida, A small community called Howey in the Hills. I've spent the last week " de-comfort-tizing" it....
No good tires
No XM radio
No good battery
Voltage Reg. has been changed back
Ect.....
Wish me luck....

Good luck Dave....and I'll see you there!!
This is a really nice "small town" event, and a good venue. I'll be there to judge the C1 cars.

Good luck! The car looks great!

I've had mine judged at the Chapter and National level. It felt more stressful than I expected having others judging my baby. The judges were great and I learned a lot from the feedback.

Cheers,
JB

Beautiful car....you'll do well I'm sure. Howey-in-the-hills is an eclectic little town tucked back in the Central Florida countryside. Enjoy the scenery and atmosphere and it'll help you de-stress some. (And yes Central Florida really does have "hills").
