...hope you can make it sometime...need to bring Cheeks and that antique boat anchor he pushes around the track. I'm sure the flat bed will make it....I got a new used mudgrip for the right front....5 gal of oil, couple jugs of water, and a can of fix-a-flat just in case. As a last resort, Frannie can always go for help. This weekend we are headed for TWS for a tune up to bed new brake pads and scuff a new set of tires. The Vintage race will be tough this year....the car has gained weight and the drivers seat has gotten tighter.
I'll make sure the Brownie has a fresh roll of film...there should be plenty of "subjects".

The GT-40 will also be going to TWS this weekend...a few weeks ago at Hallett we were dumping oil from the breathers and got black flagged...Hopefully new catch cans will solve that problem...The addition of a second oil cooler and under the car ducting seems to keep the dinojuice tempature under control...
Now...if I can just get PEPI to send me the new rear wheels we can breath a bit easier. 35 year old Halibrand's with slots where the pin holes are supposed to be, does not make for a comfortable ride at triple digit speeds.....

See you soon

PS....My GT-350 should be ready in about a month, it's at Walt Hane's shop in Evergreen.....whats the status on yours....the Farcus stable is getting fuller.
