Bring it, Mr. M!!!

In a lovely swing of events, Victoria will join me on the trip (kids are away for the weekend). We should arrive late Fri eve and leave MD on Sunday morn. She probably won't hang at the track too long, but we'll see her for dinner/meals and part of the day. Hope she can withstand riding in the 34 Coupe for 4 hrs each way! I'm really excited...

The car rides/runs really well now with the 3.23 gears.

Lou

Forecast seems to be improving. At least Sat through 1-2 PM looks good. It'll be interesting driving a 91 yr old car in the rain...

Well....
if the FILL MIMKEN is there, then I might just come, even in the rain.
Still Undecided at this point, and have more loading to do.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen a Full Mimken… That would brighten my weekend for sure! :lol:

I'm going. Looking forward to seeing at least Rick, and hopefully more. The Coupe is gassed up, tuned up, and packed up. Will stop in Harrisonburg on the way up tonight, then be there around 8-8:30 Sat morn. Weather looks good until about 2 PM tomorrow, using both the weather websites I think are good.

Lou

I think Andrew and his two kids are coming to visit and maybe Denny and his family. So we will have some people to talk to. :D :D

All packed and ready to go.
Found a loose shaft on the roller rockers so swapped stock units back on and reset the Lash.

Will be there early to setup in swap meet.
