I talked with Danny Dunn last night and the Friday night test and tune is cancelled. Danny asked me to apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused. Joe, who is Dannys staging lane man is getting married Friday and Danny simply forgot. Everyone from the track will be at Joe's wedding.
I have talked with numerous people, and its looking like a big contingent of Slant 6'ers are going to make this race so it appears we will have a very good car count. If you are on the fence go ahead and make the effort it will be worth it.
Saturday morning around 9:00 A.M. be at Empire Chrysler Dodge Jeep with your Mopar for display in front of the showroom while we kick back and catch up on Slant 6 racing stories.
In case you need them here are a couple of motel phone numbers. Addison Inn- 336 838 1000, Holiday Inn Express- 336 838 1800, Hampton Inn- 336 838 5000. Wilkesboro Raceway park-336 973 7223.
Thanks
Ron Hamby

Hey Ron,

Thanks for the info. Too bad about the t'n't, but there it is... I'll be there in the 64 Dart. The 68 would be more consistent, but the 64 is just sooo much fun to drive!

Hope to see a big turnout there. Any word from Bruners, Rodney, Jack P....?

Lou

Everything is in order for me. I will be on my way unless the weather man calls for heavy rain all weekend. I should be arriving early in the day Saturday if not sooner.

I wouldn't mind having a few phone numbers 'just in case'. Does Ron or Lou want to send me a PM with their cell? Helps me feel connected. :) Just in case I don't make it. :wink:

Thanks, and hope to see you all there. Might drive the Aspen, or might drive down and pick up a car along the way. :roll:

By the way, are we gonna kick some killer bee's attendance numbers or what! :P

Paul

I'll try to take some good pics.

Paul Moran is coming down and will likely stay at my house on Friday night and drive my 68 Dart in the race. I'll drive the 64 Dart.

Who else can we bring out??!!! Can we get 17 cars and have a 50pt race??

Here's my count so far (with some guessing):

Meril Bruner
Larry Chesney
Rodney Hargis
Jack Parlear
Ron Hamby
Ron Parker
Paul Moran
Charles Myers
Barry Harrison
Lou Madsen
2-3 local Wilkesboro guys - names?
featherduster76 (Michael)
Norman Foster??
Tom Drake
Leighton Drake
Judy Drake (all 3 with cars??)
Dale Rose??
-------
15-18 cars

Anyone I forgot?

Lou

Lou so far if Elaine continues to improve after her hip replacement I plan on being there and Dale is suppose to come also. The race will automatically be a 50 pointer since it was last year. Hope to see everyone there. Norm

Glad to hear it, Norm. Give our best to Elaine.

Anyone know if Brian Mimken or Joe Nelson are coming? They would put us at about 20 cars.

Anyone else from Charlotte area?

Hypervaliant from Marion, VA??

C'mon boys!

Lou

Missing this race is going to suck :evil: I can't get out of work for the race this weekend. Sounds like this will be THE race to be at on the eastcoast this year. Good luck to everyone! :twisted:

I'm not sure you can count on Tom Drake coming. It might be a good idea to give the Drakes a call and see if they are planning on coming...
