I thought I made a thread about this but I guess not.
Its been several months but I got the Camaro out this weekend. Heather and I took a good 2 hour drive with the car yesterday and it seems like its ready. I forgot how rewarding it was driving that car around. All the thumbs up, waves, smiles and "nice car" make it a very exciting experience every time I drive this thnig.
I have a couple very little things to take care of but other than that I could easily drive it to the event right now. I am still having starter issues. I think I broke a tooth of the flywheel a year ago so once in a while the starter wont engage. Thats the only major problem I have but other than that its ready.
Hopefully the weather is nice on saturday. It also looks like Teddy and I will be in the same group together for this event. This event will definetly be a dream come true! :D

This was by far the best racing event I ever attended. It was also a dream come true to be able to run my 69 Camaro on Grattan. I have had around 100 laps at Gingerman but really wanted to test to see how well my Camaro would do at Grattan. I was shocked that it actually survived the day. It did way better than I expected. I had the time of my life and look forward to the next time you go to Grattan. Heather was still a little sick from her first ride on the track but she also had a great time and she did real well considering she usually gets car sick in events like that.
I will also try to get the videos up some time within a week.
Thank you so much Ken and Daniele for setting this up.
Here are 60 pics from the event. I will post some video too once I get it onto my site. http://www.adfabdesign.com/RaceEvents/Grattan_7-28-07/Grattan_7-28-07.html
