Willie,
Put the blame on me... I washed my El Camino and usually rain follows.

Georgia wanted me to get the word out so that no one would be making a unnecessary trip out to the track.
She is still home recovering from the knee surgery and still in pain and I would imagine Ted is getting a good work out filling in for Mrs. Seipel

Seeing as how Infineon has a 2 day race on the same weekend as Vette magic, that will leave me out unless someone else takes it up there?

Good one! I'll take your car up there if they'll let me race 2 cars. Might as well make it three and I take my Z06 up there too.

Willie,
It might as well be you and if you can figure a way to transport it up there, why not?
On 2nd thought, lets give the car some real class and put Lonnie in it...
