Portland Meet #2!

Well, here's what I think for the Portland meets at PIR. August 3rd and 4th is in 3 weeks and should be good for a go. I'll even try to have Layla back out with a new rear main.

They close early this year, so if we want to do a #3 or a "big" meet with everybody, August 31st/September 1st will be our last chance. (Their closing night is Sept 14/15, but the last meet is always a ZOO).

So what do you guys think?

Last meet we had 4 members and 3 cars on the first night and 3 members with 2 cars on the second night. New bests were set in John's GTO, Ted's Caddy-Bird, Jim's TBird, and Layla.

They usually don't close until mid-October. They're closing early for a re-pave this year.

No need to run. It's only $8 to watch and we can all park together for some cool photo ops.

We'll see. If anything goes right, I may have a replacement motor before the end of August, most likely used with some light work put into it. Then the tranny leak is a simple seal I believe.
