Mike,

I live just outside Pittsburgh. Drop me an email if you are interested in meeting. The Auto Show is usually pretty good too. Hope you enjoy our local town.

There are some good cruises around here with many Corvettes, especially C4's. One every Saturday with a few hundred classics, hot rods, and Corvettes.

Jim, we should be there also either Saturday or Sunday with dads beast. Mine is pretty much done also after staying up till 1:30am installing the crossmember.

All I have to do now is run new fuel and brake lines, and seal off the rear area. Then give it a good once over and it will be ready to give out some hell! Sorta scared, but had a dream last night of launching it and seeing only a white hood and blue sky!


Hopefully we can catch up there this weekend...its been a LONG winter!

I will PM my cell. Where will you be staying? When are you coming in? There is alot of construction on the parkway and there are alternative routes.

Jesse, looking forward to getting together again.

While, then you were only about 7 miles from pgh raceway. You passed my exit on the Parkway - Carnegie, about 5 miles from where you are at. If you are not busy & are interested in a beer I welcome a visit.

Welcome to the 'Burgh'! Hope you enjoy the city. If you get the opportunity, have someone point you towards Mt. Washington and take a cruise up there after dark. Unbelievable view of downtown.

85vet,
Nice meeting you today.
Thanks for the tour, I'll post the pics up later.

Quite the car you have there.

a NA 383 that runs 10's is something else. Thanks for the ride!

Thanks again for the beer and pizza.

Opel,
I'm going take the rent-a-car to the autocross tomorrow.
If you read this in the morning, why don't you swing by and we can flog on the it while your car is apart. :
