Should be just a touch under 3,500 miles when it's done and there are definately some challenges - both tracks (I've never taken the '67 on an oval) and locations (Denver in May... fingers crossed).

Mary and I will be there again this year, running The OneLapCamaro. We're working through some issues now but we should be ready to go come the end of April. Currie has finished the assembly of the Baer Floater assembly and we should be running with that at RTTC for a shake down. We've got to get a new TOB installed (after killing in at OUSCI) and I think we'll change out the clutch again... just in case... and I think that a new tensioner is in the cards... again... just in case. We're going to try the new Michelin Super Sport tires this year - non-runflat design and in my testing at OUSCI they seemed to be very predictable. They are supposed to have 325's ready shortly but if not we'll stick with the 305's we've got now.

All that being said... who's going to join us?

I know that Jimi Day will be back in the Z06 and I'm going to assume that Mr. Angry will return in who knows what. Anyone else?

Wish you had time to stop in Eau Claire WI day 6! Well I'll cheer for you both as you motor through.
Have fun, Be SAFE!

See you in Joliet on day one for sure. We'll try to make Road America as well to give you some support in the final stretch. I'm sure you guys have a bunch already, but PM me before the event if you want my cell phone number in case you need roadside assistance.
