We are planning on taking seven cars on this trip:
yellow 70 GSX - 455 buick w/ ZF 6 speed and our coilover package - Bret Voelkel
blue 66 Chevelle - Lingenfelter LS3 w/ ZF 6 speed and ShockWave suspension - Greg Schneider
blue 70 Camaro with our new StreetGrip suspension - Chris Smith
white 72 Chevelle with StreetGrip suspension - Mike Ballard
48 Hr Camaro - Lingenfelter LS3 w/ T56 and our coilover suspension - Britt Marolf
black 02 Z06 Corvette - oems leafs, HQ smoothbodies, delrin bushings, and our splined swaybars - Dan Ballard
blue 66 Chevy truck - aluminum 509 big block and air suspension- Herb Lumpp
Currently, the GSX still needs EFI tuning and speedo calibration [after being apart for the last 5 years] and the trans has died in the blue 70 Camaro. Were waiting on some brake rotors for the 48 Hr Camaro and tires for the Corvette. Both Chevelles seem ready to go. Getting seven cars ready to go on one trip is like getting a litter of puppies not to pee on the carpet. I cannot deny that it is fun though...really looking forward to it.
Greg Schneider, Britt Marolf, and myself are planning on taking off Friday sometime to make it to the Cruisin the Smokies event this weekend in Pigeon Forge on the way to Charlotte. Bill Howell puts on a fun event that I have been to many times...looking forward to hooking up with everyone there on Friday night/Saturday.
Chris Smith is driving the 70 Camaro from his shop in Tiffin Ohio on Sunday.
Herb Lumpp is leaving our shop in Jasper on Sunday morning. I think the Ballard brothers are leaving with the Z06 Corvette at the same time.
We have room for about 8 more truck/trailers at our shop if anyone wants to leave their tow rig in Jasper till the end of the tour. hit me up directly on
[email protected].
See you guys in Pigeon Forge and/or Charlotte!
