Heck yeah, Ken, the more the merrier!!!
Looks like I'm back to being "the kid" on this adventure! My driver is all excited about being a rookie again, at the age of 76! The guy doing the flow work and tweaking on the heads will be 78 this fall and I'll be 62 in November! Back at the start of my circle burner racing, I was 15 and the whole crew was 30 and up!!! Deja Vu all over again!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Yup, got some of the information, still waiting for my rule book and classification guide, however! Figured it'd be a good thing to have in hand before I start on the chassis!
Also started fabbing up a new front suspension fixture that I can check bump steer, caster/camber, toe-in, and caster/camber gain in travel while everything is on the turnplates.... When everything is roughed in on the chassis and suspension, I have a friend with a 4 wheel alignment laser rack to do the final tweaking....
Now if I just knew a bit more about aerodynamics!!!! Front sheetmetal on a '57 Chevy probably needs some "adjustment" to get through the air decent!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I was through Wendover twice this year. I can recommend the Quality Inn there as a decent place to stay with reasonable prices, reserve early! My little red car is more comfortable on a drag strip, but might like to come along to watch.
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
