My car should be running again this weekend and will be using the rest of the time to button up the small details. We will be starting the trip Friday morning from St Louis, and bringing three LTx cars down.

Wish i could go! Is there anyone going to report the event with the results that day? Live cam would be cool or someone to film it and sell the dvd to support the next years shootout. Wish it would come to fla in the winter to see some records broken.

My short blocks been sitting on an engine stand covered up for a while. When I pulled the motor in March, I figured I'd have it done by June with plenty of time to make it to the shootout and meet everyone, but NO WAY can I get this done in 3 weeks.

It's all been mocked up and I have everything ready to bolt together, but it's all the little things that I don't want to rush and my helper/builder hasn't been in the mood. Too bad, I really want to be there, but I don't know about going without the car.
