Bright and sunny this morning so I decided to take the Vette to drop my dry cleaning off; then get a call that someone needed access to the office
, so off I go on a 60 mile drive to the office on I95
instead of the county roads I was planning on cruising ...
I still got around 150 miles of seat time, just not where I wanted to get it.

Matt, I just missed you on Friday. I left CAM around noon. I was down there getting new output shafts and a new Textrallia clutch.
Also, had to talk to Jeff about the new motor,

Haha, Yeah, Jeff told me. I had a friend there with me and we had a BLAST looking at all of the projects in Jeff's shop. I wish I wouldve seen your beast. My car (runnin pretty crappy still because of some effin idiot the worked on my car before messin it up so bad) only put out 290 to the wheels. But, Jeff said that when he fixes whats wrong with it, he is sure it will be pushin at least 320 to the pavement. I am hoping to go for around 400 N/A and without doing the 383.

Well I took my '89 black 6spd coupe out for a spin, only to hear an odd noise under my hood, then smelled burning coolant, and then the cabin of the car filled up with white smoke. After I rolled the windows down 
, I limped the car home freezing my azz off.
Dropped the car off home, decided to deal with it later, as I was running behind. Took out my red '94 (avatar) out to an appointment and spent the rest of the day running errands with it. LilRed = Old Faithful On the way, I traced the same route and saw small puddles/tire marks of coolant each placed I stopped. 
No wonder why I had little traction. 
Oh well, a bittersweet Corvette day...1 out of 2 ain't bad I guess...

Snow tubing at Bryce Mountain! They actually have snow.....man made of course!
My vette is snoozing in the garage
Right now I am glued to the tube watching Barrett-Jackson. Jesus Christ some of those people are rich. Some guy just bought Carroll Shelby's PERSONAL Cobra Super Snake (twin turbos) for 5 MILLION DOLLARS

Although for 800 HP I'd definitely overlook that...part of the "charm" aspect, anyway...

My '89 I won't even attempt to bring down. 
I doubt I will have my car for this event.
