I drove it last weekend, still runs fine... just needed a battery from sitting for 5 months.

I'm going to put that new TNC fortified tranny in there, then I might make a trip to Centerville so we could hook it up. First time out though I'll probly go to Prescott. Its about an hour closer and I haven't ran down there since John bought the track.

Whats happening Robert, I've seen you posting over on SeatStaysUp in the Politics forum for awhile now but never saw you here.

Is anybody going to the Outlaw Shootout at Prescott next Saturday?

Well, I haven't talked to John in a couple of weeks but.. I had heard that the track might not be ready and and they would have to be postponed. If their running though I'm going to try to make it. My wife and I are expecting and she gets ill sometimes just just right out of the blue, so it will depend on how she is feeling right before I go.

I checked Prescott's website the other day, and they had the track done for last weekends races but they canceled it anyway. I think they will have it ready for the shootout.

BTW Buy-pending on a black 98 Trans Am in TX this weekend

Cool deal on the T/A.

They were having to grind the top off the track and repave it again because the asphalt started coming up when they tried to drag it the first time.

Does anyone know if there's an automotive writer and/or photographer in the Arkansas area? Like someone who writes for magazines or a website or something? LS1/LS2/LS6/LS7 background is especially helpful. Please reply or send me a PM if you know of someone. Thanks.
