Hey Jim,

Yeah, I think I can keep up... I'm just not so sure that I want to.

But when you don't have any idea where the group is going, you have no choice but to keep up.

Wow, western Kansas mystery car. Says he's been in some shows somewhere. I haven't ever seen it in Wichita either.

I saw this car when I was in Garden City last summer, but I don't know anything about it...

Sorry, I'm no help.

I did a search on the phone # and he works at a body shop! Probably the reason he can do the paint job. From the pictures it looks pretty good anyway.

On another note, I went to where my parents live Sunday and on my way through Garden City I meet a red 95 or 96, I'd not seen that one before either. Nice looking car, got a good wave. Then going through Great Bend I meet a silver 86, I think, got another big wave.

I drove mine down to Dallas today.
Got to put the top down just south of OKC. Gotta love that, here in the late days of February.

Actually he OWNS the body shop. (or at least did in the late 80's)

It's called
Arrow Paint and Body.

When I lived there back in the mid to late 80's he was building a mid engine (big block) third gen camaro.

If anyone wants info, I still have friends there that know him.

C4 Fanatic, how was the car show last weekend?

The drag strip will be open soon! I feel the need for speed.

Car show had a pretty small turn out. Too bad for such a nice day. Monte Rans with his Le Mans edition ZO6 won coaches/team choice and got to drive out on the ice with the other 4 winners. Only 4 Vettes made it out. Everybody was probably out driving them instead.
I got that same feeling, made a few changes, fixed a few things over the winter. Want to see if it runs any better, probably not.

There should be at least 10 to 12 events next year starting in March and ending in November.
That is perfect timing since I want to get a ton of autox events in this year. I will start school in McPherson this year so I hope to meet alot of you guys while I am in Kansas.

You can get a feel for the area with a few web sites then.

http://www.wichitascca.org/ = The Wichita SCCA folks

http://www.teamwir.com/ = The Wichita dragstrip

http://www.srcadragstrip.com/ = Great Bend's dragstrip, where the first EVER NHRA national championship was run.

http://www.hpt.com/ = Heartland Park in Topeka, where the 2006 SCCA national runoff's will happen.

I hope to see you at a few of the events this coming year.

Well, what going on Kansas guys? Here it is May, I'll be out of school here soon. Are there any plans? I have a trip to Bowling Green scheduled in early June. What is happening with you?

Southwest guys, do you have any get togethers? Kind of anxious to meet some of you.

I graduate from Seward County today, and I don't have any real plans for summer. I just know this summer is going to be awesome and I'm going to have lots of fun.

I don't know of any get togethers happening as of now.

There is usually a group of 10 to 15 'Vettes the caravans from Liberal the 'Vettes on the Rockies' car show, but I don't know any dates or details.

Looks like Saugerties, NY on a project until June 3. Then beginning June 13 Kansas City until Sept. 5 on another project. My summer is shot all to hell beginning Monday.
