I'm boarding an airplane this afternoon to Baltimore, but I'll be back in Pittsburgh Wed night.
We should all hit the drag strip when I get back.

All the cars in our group that went down
Mine and another C4
Lots of Corvettes C1,2,4,5 and 6's were all there.
Lot's of Horsepower
My coworker and his Mustang
His father's Mach1 which he bought with 8 miles on it.
a real Duesenberg!
more pics in the album.
I'm really glad I went, it was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.

I got to autocross last Sat @ Beaver Run, pics to follow.
But I'm posting this to say they have a combination this weekend @ Beaver Run.
Go autocrossing and take in a vintage GP

I'm back! 
Well sort of, PA anyways.
I've got a contract in Williamsport putting fuel injection on aircraft engines
Should be interesting, they still run leaded gas in planes, so no O2 sensors!
Exhaust gas temp sensors instead.
Picking up the new rental car tomorrow.
I wonder what I'll get this time!

Definitely got to come back for the Vintage GP!
If I can make it back for an autocross, I'll make sure I bring my tires this time
Turns out one of the guys I'm working with has an '84
And there's two other guys at the plant that own Corvettes.
One's a forum member, he swung by just to say hello.
Get time taking the tour. A dozen dynos all going at the same time.

They also make the only FAA certified piston helicopter engines.
Nice town, kinda like going back in time to the 1950's
The current fuel injection is constant flow. We'll be upgrading it to EFI.
I can't say who's doing the redundant controller, but it's a major player in the world of car racing.

Lycoming's eight-cylinder IO-720 series engines produce 400 horsepower at 2,650 RPM. These 720 cubic inch, fuel-injected engines have been the driving force of the high-performance Comanche "400" and of agricultural workhorses like the Brave and the Ipanema.
