Now its off to the pool to cool us down while the car is put back in the trailer.

It must be nice, our road is still closed, soon to be completed and then you will probably hear the roar of the Taz from your house!

Brian, So how did it feel today with the wind blowing thru your hair? It was nice day to take a cruise. Seperate topic, how about we have our first meeting Saturday June 25, 2005 at Lady Redhawks facility if it is alright with Redhawk?

I can make that date work for me.

The wind was nice, but the humid air stunk. Man was it humid.

I plan on getting it back out tomorrow morning for a quick drive before we need to head to Hendersonville for LeAnn's rehersal. It will be a truck trip since I have to go by Lowes for work. I'd rather drive the SS.

On another note. I need to be easy on the clutch for awhile....I jumped on it a hammered 2nd and the clutch slipped. Bad me.

Sounds good to me. Hope my car and Steven's car is fixed by then. We could all plan a trip to Shadyside the next day too.

Well, basically just High Octane. Since our members could be from anywhere.

Becky, that post was hillarious. "Here today, gone tomorrow"
From what I know about Sly, he has to much hp in his blood to stay away from hot rodding very long.

We should get together and discuss a Blue Ridge Parkway Cruize at our meet.
