I plan on going Saturday to help fight off the Winter blues. Time to check out the cars and some GREAT bs sessions as always. Hopefully Summit will be giving out 10% off coupons too so I can get some parts ordered soon.

I'll be there after 4ish til the end on Saturday.
I'll try to post up some sneak peeks tonight. The place was maybe half full last night, and there were a lot of sweet rides. A favorite so far is a '65 Coronet A990 altered wheelbase car, the Hemi A Go Go.

Thanks Chuck for the free sample. Looks like we will be sliding in tomorrow after we get the 3-6 inches of fresh snow. A good Friend of mine set-up his Camero last night and told me he is parked by the PRP race booth. He's raced a few times in the past but we are going to do a new engine for his other car so he can hit the track more often.

Dog biscuits and 3 used AC Delco plugs to the first 200 walk-ins. I am going later in the day and will probably miss the hand-outs.

Hey Eric,

Maybe I'll run into you & John there. Free dog biscuits?? With my 5 "kids", that will come in handy!!

Still not sure what time I'll get there, maybe around 12:00-1:00??

Hope to see you there Doug. We always head over later in the day as we run into more racing Friends toward evening.

I'm jealous. Detroit's show isn't for 6 weeks. I need a car fix. At least we have a swap meet Sunday.

You and I both Doug. Its snowing like crazy here right now so I hope I can get there. I usually park in downtown Pittsburgh but they are calling for 2 degrees later tonight. The lot at the convention center is usually pretty backed up. I didn't touch a grinder or a head all week in the shop but I did start a MAJOR clean-up project. I can see my workbench again and finally cleaned behind my porting table, drug out a few blocks and cranks, and pushed it up against the wall. I must have gained about 10 feet of shop space.

John,

I might be doing the later-in-the-day thing.

It's snowing pretty good here in Hempfield Twp right now, getting a few reports about people crashing & spinning/sliding off the road.

I'll keep you posted.

What a great show. You guys wouldn't believe how many MOPARS were there. And the 6 plus inches of snow we had didn't stop people from going.
