2016 is the 25th anniversary of the event and they are going to try to do things bigger and better than normal, if that's possible. Mark your calendars...it will be a must-attend.

My property borders I90 at milepost 332- between exits 42 & 43. It would make the most sense for me to join you at exit 43, since that's a few miles west of me.

Eric- I'm considering bringing the in-progress engine in the back of the 'Bandit' (aluminum engines do have their advantages!). I'll try to reach Pete to ask if I might display it in the manufacturers' midway. Looking forward to seeing/hearing your nitro burner on the track again!

Keep me posted, as it gets closer to August. I just got confirmation from Andi Woodruff that I can be in the manufacturers' midway, so I'll definitely be going.

I don't see the Kalahari on the list, I make a weekend out of it, no one complained when I disappear to go to the show, lol. And it's real close, B fast at Bob Evans then Starbuxks, then The show. I even like the Kalahari.

What is the average cost at the Kalahari?

It always looked full when we drive by it?

[NO67GTO]

So 5 weeks out and I have no engine but most all the parts. Dropping off pistons and rods for balancing tomorrow.
Block is getting filled And needs a sleeve.
Heads and intake are being ported. Dam it's gonna b close.

I've never been out there before, but I am staying at the Best Western in Norwalk. Picked it because there were decent reviews, especially compared to some of the other area hotels.

If you're referring to the Friday night gamblers, I would say yes. The gamblers is always there every year. I love the Friday night racing. Helps get me and the car ready for the weekend classes.

I will be there again this year.

Is it too soon to move this to the top of the National events section? If so, tough, my brother (Pontiacdaver) and I have missed this for the last 3 years due to family matters so I'm getting excited!

Is there a MaxPerf BBQ this year??

Well your way ahead of me. I got my block back from the machine shop yesterday.
I'm still going but won't have my car. 😤

The swap meet does begin on Friday , correct? And the BBQ is on, right?

[NO67GTO]

How much is a vendor spot? Seeing I won't have my car maybe I should set up a table.

Got it running well enough to drive. I took it to Paul B's last night so he could double check our work. Got a few pointers from him.

Swap Meet info

Looks like $55 ?

I think you also get a meal and a chance to get your money back.
(at least it used to be so)
