Saturday.. going up to Elkhart Lake, WIS.. Road America... vintage historic road races.... (~2.5 hour cruise for me).

Sunday.. going to the Chicagoland Mopar show at Belvidere, ILL (~1 hour cruise for me)... meet with fellow mopar buddies for breakfast.. then we head out on the hwy.
Autocross/road racers go in deeper... and come out harder!

See  MOPAR ACTION MAGAZINE, AUGUST 2006 ISSUE for featured article and details on my autocross T/A.

Hosted a BBQ for the local Mopar club on Saturday and went to a cruise-in afterward... 

A few of the cars I was able to get before the fun really got started.  :)

After an hour of digging I discovered that yes there is still a car buried in there. Finish cleaning the garage this week and having the boys over on Thursday to get started. :woo:

Well finally got the car fired up tonight after almost 3 years. Sounds great. Pulled it out the the garage and onto the driveway. One problem though. I have no brakes. Brake fluid all over my driveway and on the paint in my engine bay. Seems the metering/proportioning valve was installed without o-rings. I assume that is my casing my leak.

Great start.   :swear:
