Yeah Scoot, by labor day it oughta cool back down into the low 100s... LOL. The evenings are really nice that time of year.
Anytime is good for me Greg. Maybe we'll get a "practice run" in this spring tho, how much beer does that refer hold???
Heck, I might even have the 50 back on the road this summer.

OK, looks like we have a few votes for Labor day. Let's try to keep that i mind. get those projects moving!
Looks like that's Monday, Sept. 5th. So, we'd have a long weekend to play with.

I imagine it will be a bring what ya got event....Russ will probably show up with a 385 series powered car..It's more about a lot of the guys in this particular forum and a lot of the projects we've been hearing about.
OK, it's really about seeing Scouder's rig get ugly at the track:-)

LMAO!! Greg your a Freakin trip Dude!!! It will be a FE powered Truck pulling a Trailer with a "385" powered car on it!!! LOL!!
I dont think even if I get the motor and Trans in the car.. It will be running? but all the bugs (which I hope a very few) will be worked out..
But Unless Larry's going with his mack and has room for the Stang?? the 70 F250 will be pulling it?? Hell if the truck breaks..I might need the Stang to get home?? Yeah right....

I agree with Greg. It shouldn't necessarily be a FE truck thing, or even an FE thing, as much as putting some faces with names, and seeing some of these projects. OK, maybe we'll put the 511 on the track while we are there too.

Hey Russ. Let me know when you're coming. I know my track banquet is sat jan 29th, so that evening I know I'm busy. You're more than welcome to park, got plenty of room. The garage is heated so you can stay warm at night..LOL!!
The Mack would probably make the trip with no problem...just a slow, noisy trip. Would probably have to put MUFFLERS back on it
. Bring your ear plugs 
Only room for ONE vehicle in the trailer, sorry, and I'd be one of MINE
. What ever somebody would like to see. Unless I could convince my buddy to "lend" me his three car stacker trailer . Then we could bring ALOT of toys!!! Unfortunately trucks won't fit in it

Shoot I wouldnt mind sleeping in the garage...as long as it kept the snow off my head..and I could leave the beer outside to stay cold?? LOL!
If the Stang is close I'll Trailer it with the 70 F250...If its not? I guess I'll drive the truck and just bring building pics of the car.. One way or the other I'll be there to meet all these guys and do some serious beer drinkin and some good BS bench racing!!
I dont have any braging rights tho?? LOL!! If you dont take the Mack what are ya going to drive??

BTW, I have an older working Coke machine in the garage to store cold stuff...
