My first attempt at a video clip so bear with me. You should be able to right click and select "save as" and save it to you computer for faster viewing.

Lou,
We will probably be at Mooresville this weekend doing a little more testing. I will let you know and maybe you could come down Saturday night.

Tom,

I really wish I could meet you guys this weekend, but I'll be out of town again. Please let me know when you'll be out again and I'll try to make it to join you.

I'm planning on going to some Roxboro t'n't nights, this Spring to get my cars ready.

Also, I am confirmed for the Tar Heels Sports Car Club (www.thscc.com) April 12/13 track weekend at VA Int'l Raceway - their South road course. The '64 will be stompin'.

Lou

Lou,
Check out this link. I did not even know about this track until a few weeks ago. Apparently the One Lap of America will be making a stop there this year.

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the link. I guess that's pretty close to you guys. I wanted to meet the One Lap there last year, but was busy that weekend. If the Green Brick runs the event this year, I hope to meet them there.

I will likely try to run that track this fall with the Tar Heels club - should be a blast! Their CMP event is Nov 1/2. I hope to have a roll bar in the car by then so I can run their Time Trial too.

Lou
