Hey Guys,

I am really sorry, but I have a work event that I cannot miss on that Friday and Saturday. This bums me out that I cannot come. I will make a trip out to at least one Slant 6 event this year, hopefully not long after MATS.

Romeo, you have my permission and blessing to run my car at MATS if you want! We can make sure I have the right hoses plugged in on the wastegate for 6 psi so it's easier on the motor. Call me if you're interested.

Have fun!

Lou

That's a silly rule. Eliminates a lot of fun. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have borrowed a race car on occasion (thanks Larry), and lent my cars. Steve is driving my 66 Valiant. Years ago, I used to keep my 65 Valiant at the local track, as a "rent-a-racer".

I can understand. With my cars it is not a big deal if it breaks, they are all low budget, and I figure if it breaks with someone else driving, it probably would have broken on me.

I just offered Steve my Valiant to compete in the NHRA Div #2, 1/8 mile bracket series. I can't afford to run it often enough to compete, and the car is already set up for 1/8 mile, and his car isn't ready. This way we can both have fun, since I can afford spectator admission every two weeks. He can drive, and I can maintain the car. We will see if he accepts. Just need to get rid of that darn misfire.

Allen and I are pre-registered so we will see you-all in a couple of weeks.
I think Allen is bringing a couple of his college friends with him.
