I've got to get a little more seat time at the track before I can do that! So, yes, it will Steve who gets into the 11's. Jeff Creech did an awesome job of tuning it today....I could really tell a difference. (Like I needed more power..... )

Oh yeah, thanks.

I can't believe people fall for those Haynes commercials. must say something about our educational process!

So are you coming with us?

Yes, at this point in time I am planning on going to Skyline. So that means you are going to have to guarantee great weather! Oh yeah, I'll pass on the free gas and just keep the title for a while longer.

Hmmmmm ... let's see, a pretty blonde in a FAST bright yellow Vette convertible .... nah, that won't attract attention.

Julie .... better get a good supply of those "get out of jail free" cards, or perfect your "I just got it out of the shop and I'm still getting used to the feel after the tuneup" story.

Intersect of 17 and 33, around 5:50 am, is a rolling rendezvous

Stuckys at 301 and 17, around 7 AM...this is a stop

Bk on route 1 in Fredericksburg 7:15 or so

Ariive Front Royal at 9:30

I guess you know that Steve has already set a precedent when I went with him that you are going to have to match.

If you have good weather for us I will be there!

Break out the unrep hoses and I need 110 every now and then!

Are you coming down to the BK on 64 or is everyone going to meet you at the old BK in York River shopping center?

Ron,
Next time you see Charlie Brown, ask him about how I sat him back in the seat!! I took him for a ride to test the tune that Jeff did that day at Abacus....reached triple digits QUICKLY on Northhampton Blvd. (shhhh...dont' tell anyone....)

Hope y'all have a nice time at Skyline....I've got to work next weekend, so we won't be able to make it....

JJ!
