I just found out that there will be... yes... wait for it...

ANOTHER MERKUR

at this event!

It's a buddy of mine from Alabama with a V8 XR. He does events all the time with NASA SE. He's quick. Proof that there are at least two of these cars left in the world!

His name is Cliff Walton. He has a really nice car. I don't know the full details of the engine but I think it's a bored 5.0 liter with good heads and a cam, somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 HP.

You gonna be there RJ?

You gonna be there RJ?

Nope!

[PDenbigh]

Fail!

Tach is working and ECU is secured. Man I'm getting excited!

Is anyone else doing the karting event either Friday or Saturday night? I'll be doing double duty on two teams on Friday night but so far no open spots on Saturday night.

First hit of the GFCP in 2 years. Giggity giggity!

very nice! can't wait to see that thing running around the track.

I didn't sign up for the karting event but if there's room, I wouldn't mind running one of the events.

Where do you all (all meaning Pete and Sean) want to paddock?

[PDenbigh]

I have to paddock near Timing and Scoring since I'm working that, so I will likely be in one of the center rows as close as I can get.

i'm going to try and bring a tri-pod, camera, and camcorder to set-up in my work station as i flag. first priority being the safety of those on the track of course.

i'm excited to see you all down there!

[Maengelito]

most of the people in that pic were part of Pete's "entourage". He rolls deep to the track :lol:

and I think Jayray took some awesome pics that he's probably sorting through but this is my official post to nag him about posting them up.

[kcook]
