As of today, just over a month out, we're at 28 pre-registered. Our little show just keeps chugging along.

The majority are roadsters! It is going to be a battle between the 521s and the Zs to see which have a stronger showing. Right now it is neck and neck.

Reminder, tomorrow is the last day that the hotel will hold the block of rooms. If you want one of them I suggest you jump on that right away. Check the web site for the details. http://www.myautoproject.com/2014/02/da ... suri-2014/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The emulsion tubes are done but I have not been able to pick them up and test them. Street driving will have to wait on weather, as the rain has returned this morning. Really hard to say... Theres a few other non-Roadster issues going on here as well...

Haha. It snowed here last night! (The brown rabbit on my front lawn this morning was a bit pissed off.)

You west coasters need to man up a bit. ;) Ted, feel free to share that with your friends (you know who I mean). ...all in good fun. :)

Hang in there Greg. Hope you make it and the non-Roadster issues get sorted.

Dave: you have to realize that is a 20 hour drive for Greg (7 for 1500 TED) because he stops at every rest stop to change his jets.

I'd deny it if it weren't true! One year while driving to Shasta I kept trying to adjust things at each stop cause it would run funny at high rpms. Later what I found out was that 2 of the wonderful Champion plugs I was running (had a nice gap for my Jacob Pro-street spark box) had BLOWN UP to the point that the electrod WAS GONE and the gap was, well, huge! Yet the Jacobs kept jumping the gap and the car ran normally around town... freakin amazing. I still have one of the plugs. I became an NGK guy from then on.

You can see why I love and so strongly recommend the wideband A/F set ups, and why I keep mine installed for constant use/monitoring!
