Willis 100

[Johan]

Tommy, did Chip put you up to this so he could get your number 66 ? Sorry to hear you can't come. I wish your relative a speedy recovery. Feel free to join us if you figure out a way to sneak off. I'm happy to fetch you from the airport or help any other way. My house is handicaped accessable (no spyderboy, not your kind of handicap), and we have a bit of extra room.
Life can be full of problems sometimes, and they can really get you down if you let them. For instance, The town of Hilton Head put a note on my door that the road, my road, would be closed next week for repaving, putting a bit of a damper on the "car show" aspect of my big cook out. I'm working on this, and am having some success.
Also, the noise limit at the track is devastating to group 3. We've been told that the 104 limit will be strictly enforced. This means that I have to come up with a new schedule with less run time for group 3 and not during baby nap times , causing some group 3 guys to cancel.
I feel like Cobra Dan with the Silver Springs deal.
Thank goodness Gene Felton is still coming, and so is Robert Tornello ( my heros in auto racing), but Gene will eventually be too loud and Robert does not see the point in bringing out his Lola at 112 db with mufflers.He's bringing a Porsche now. I've run the exhaust out the right side of the cup car with mufflers and am hoping for the best, and had some super trapps made for the Lola that "should" work, if the engine does not reject the back pressure.
Cobras should be fine.If not, lift at the sound station.
There are still about 50 nice people coming to have a good time and it will eventually work out just fine.
We'll miss your being there Tommy and thanks for letting me know.
