I plan on attending. It's a 4 hour trip for me. I have a trailer lined up for Sat. morning. Don't know yet if I will be staying over night. Morrocco was only 2 hours for me.

 

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

Morocco does not play nice....

Morocco does not play nice....

 

[XXQUICK6XX]

To put it nice they ruined one of the Midwest challenges because it rained in the morning on the Sunday of the last day of the event the Rain stopped around 8-9 am and they canceled the Sunday program and there were people here from all over to race and the program never got finished. The sky's were sunny by around 10 and was nice the rest of the day.

Me, the wife, and kids will be there Sat. I'll be solo Sunday. My first Buick Event and in no way the last. Not racing though. My car is to slow.

Your car is setup for THS. You should try it out. We had a field from low 10's to 14's at Columbus. As long as you are faster than 15's....you will not be the slowest

 

[speedskills]

I still have too many issues to work out. Like exhaust leaks, vaccuum leaks, etc. I am spraying Alky now just haven't changed my Sig. Its still not as fast as it should be. I've only had the car since April and still trying to work the kinks out. 13.2 on BFG radials is a little disappointing with my setup. Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe next year.
