What Smith failed to tell ya'll is that he grabbed his 'D**k-Shift' rather then the 'Stick-Shift' and the C5 Vette motor went south.. :doh:. as in Ops! Trust me, I was there and hear the sad noises. However............



...All-in-all a Super Kool weekend and my Horsepower Over-load light is still On!

Charley Lilliard has the car now & is with Jim Holloway @ Mother's- search the internet for Optima Street Challenge to see it in action. - Awesome!



Mark is involved with testing the Z28 & has a lot of track time in the car.



So much power & brakes they were spinning the tires on the rim. What????? Even the Vett's don't do this.



GM fixed it by roughing up the bead area on the rims.

Long visit with Dennis Barker from Nickey.................. & the new 5th Gen Hot Rod Edition Camaro Nickey is building -(PR001) only 67 for 67 years of Hot Rod magazine...more will follow.



Talked to Charley Lilliard who now has Mark Stielow's 'Mayhem' - Optima Battery race Camaro that beats everyone.



Saw Troy Trapenier (sp?) - I think he built the most recent Riddler Award winning street rod of the year



Talked to Rob Kinnann from Hot Rod Mag about possibly coming to MN Fairgrounds next year as first leg after the dells & then head south to Iowa.



Will stop & see Trigger Wed. morning around 10 am - Meet # Exit 52 - first gas station - be there before 10 am.



Thanks for posting some photos Craig.





Beat - gotta go to bed.

Chassed Charley Lilliard in 'Mayhem' & Dennis Barker in the yellow Nickey for 60 miles today. That was no fun. YES IT WAS!!!!



In Huron, OH near Cedar Point - roller coasters look great - dropped off the 2 kids - Summit Park was very nice - drag racing was rain delayed.



On the way to Crown Point, IN in the morning .......... Will stop @ Trigger's around 10am



HRE is doing the Long Haul - been at every stop but no one can see it because it is tucked away in the Pilot Transport semi waiting to go to Vengeance next week.



Photos when I get home...................
