The Pace Car is available but the Z is already reserved for next weekend! I'm not sure you'll be much better in the Pace Car than in your '82 though. The check engine light is still on, the exhaust is still missing gaskets, and I think the clutch is slipping. You can pick it up tomorrow and fix those things before next Friday, and it's yours for the trip!

1998 Indy: were you at Eureka Springs last year? I think I met you. Anyway, I will give you a call this weekend or next week and get more information on meeting for the drive to Texas. I'm very excited about driving down with other vettes....I've never done that before!

Almost got sucked up in a Tornado tonight. We left my in laws at 97th and sheridan after the Tornado sirens started sounding. We got on the creek turnpike to try and meet my parents in BA to let them in my shelter. We were at creek and memorial when jim giles news 6 said there was a tornado forming at 111th and memorial. So I look over the top of trinity auto body and there it is (no camera). I stomped the Hemi and tried to outrun it by staying on the creek. We are doing 90 over roller coaster bridge and I look up and it is about to come across the road by the toll booth. I would have outran it but a bunch of idiots slammed on their brakes when they saw it and slowed way down right next to it. So I push the guy in front of me to go by flashing my brights and attaching my car to his bumper at 90! The thing is half way to the ground blowing leaves and stuff all over the road as it came through us. It blew my Jeep onto the shoulder while the wife was screaming at me with driving instructions on how to avoid it and the car in front of me. It was honestly one of the scariest moments ever for me. My knees shook for 20 minutes afterwards. I thought we were either going to be blown over or in a pretty bad wreck. It was a bad idea to try and outrun it, I should have stopped at memorial and let it go by but I was not sure were it was headed. It never did form and touch but it came very close to the ground. Exciting but scary!
Did anyone see a forming or have any wind damage?

I live in Tulsa (Jenks). Had a few vettes up until 2yrs ago. Made a deal and am picking up another one (finally) in a couple weeks and would like to get out and hang with some other owners. I have 2-3 friends in the area as well so we could have a few cars to check out.

I live in Jenks too... Just bought mine (kind of) going to the bank on Monday from Steve Hash (Great Guy in BA) and maybe we could meet somewhere with some other owners.
