      Hi Brent...no official sign-up yet. There will be lots of posts on it here and musclerides.com when it gets close, so it will be pretty hard to miss. You can book your room now at our host hotel Http://www.mainstaypigeonforge.com/ Dont wait too long for that cause the Fall grand run is there too, and hotels are pretty hard to come by. Tell them you're with the Pro-Touring/Musclerides group. Theres a couple of us from up this area (I'm in Lombard) heading down, glad to have you with us.

      By the way...nice 'vette. I'll have to stop by sometime and check out the shop.

      run thru the hills

      Thanks Rubes,
      I'm always looking for good events for pro touring cars to mix it up. Have not been to this one but it looks fun. I'm also looking for open road race events. Similar to the Silver State classic out west. I've heard of a couple but can't track then down?
      I'll keep an eye open for the anouncement. Hope to see ya there. And if you are ever in the area please give me a call and come on by. The shop has lots of eye candy for gear heads.

      Ya, We are going this year to the Year one experience. I was invited by Corvette Fever to bring my old Pro Street 59 Vette for a shoot out that several magazines are having at the dragstrip during the event. We are going through that car now prepping it for racing again. Back in the day it ran mid 7's when I was with the NMCA. I dropped out in 98 when it got to crazy. The car still runs mid 8's on 93 octane but it's been a few years since it's been raced. I've just been driving the heck out of it. Should be a blast. I looked into the Road Atlanta deal at that event. Whats the deal? sounds like you just follow someone around the track? Not really exercising the car much? Would love to take my 65 Malibu to that track if they let you cut loose and run the car hard. Hey if your foot is not on the mat your not having fun!

      They got parade laps which are pretty tame, and then there is "track day". you still follow a pace car, but get to push harder from what I understand. I know several guys here did it last year. Nothing like an open track event though.

      The NHRA has gone and scheduled the 1st national at the new Charlotte track on the same weekend. What were they thinking?

      Gonna be a hard choice. All my local buds are planning on going to Charlotte. If I can get the Elky finished and the bugs out, I will have to make it to RTTH. Rubes, As far as YOE, the Elky will not make it but I might. The chassis is built but the body is still on the rotissorie.
      The NHRA Charlotte date is the same as RTTH.

      Oh c'mon Mike, you have to go to RTTH! Carol and I will be there! What if I promise to drive the Chevelle whether it's ready or not?

      Same here Rubes. Herb, Do you promise not to junk your trannie on the way into town this year? Your Chevelle looks close to ready now. We are shooting the bottom side of the Elky tomorrow and I should have it on the chassis next week. It won't be ready in a month but hopefully by mid summer. The ladies did seem to enjoy themselves last year. That will weigh heavily in favor of RTTH.

      That's ok, I deserve it! I was in town for less than 5 minutes when I broke my tranny!

      ...and yes Mike, I promise not to break it again this year!

      I would say that is an error that you are not likely to repeat. Plus Carol will kill you if you do it again.
