    Spare engine wasn't quite as plug and play as I thought. Planned on a new pan, pump, valve springs and go. Apparently there are quite a few differences between a '97 and '94 LT1, so I ended up tearing the 'new' '94 down to block/crank/rods/pistons. It'd be silly not to throw in rings and bearing since it's down this far. Whole thing just snowballed to more than I expected.

    That combined with a few other things, like saving for a trip to Scotland this year (~$1200-1400 each plane ticket) and not being on OT, means I'll be skipping a few races in 2013. Figure now's also the time to do a few things to the car I've been putting off. I most definetly will be at Hallett and TWS tho. I'll be back on your bumper full time in 2014... got an Ironman record to beat.

    Randy - I've got a new Corvette guy that *really* needs a dyno - can he please crash in with you guys on Friday if possible?

    Also - did you hear for sure if the place will be open to people who need it on Sat?

    Makes no difference to me but we need some kind of order to make sure those of us that got in first don't get pushed aside by these guys wanting in at the last minute.

    he's coming from costal Mississippi (iirc) so I would think you guys could easily get through before he gets there. Besides, don't you want some fresh fish to talk into CMC racing for next season? Sell C5Z, buy CMC car, buy trailer, buy truck, buy race gear = no extra money yaknow. Could be an easy sell
