I didn't make it last year having just started a new job. Hoping to be there this year.

Guess I should pay more attention when I'm posting as I now see the link above is for last years event.

Barring any unforeseen problems, it looks like I will make it this year.

Here is a link to the GTO clubs website where you can see the flyer for this year.

Or maybe this will work:

Oh my, nice car.
My car is not near ready for any kind of a show or race, so my self and 2 or 3 others are spectators, which I enjoy!
I'm 6'3", wear overalls, bought my T/A when I was a senior in high school, so you know how old I am...LOL
See you there, I'm praying for decent weather!!!

The weather forecast is great. Should be some personal bests at the track. Good luck to everyone. I wish I could make it this year. Maybe next year.

Richard,
Glad you recognized me @ picnic table. Phil and I had been looking your car over thoroughly shortly after arriving. Man we are impressed. You've worked it over exactly like I would have. Glad to hear of the disc brakes, drums take the fun out of driving a hot rod car....
Jeff
