Thanks man, that video is great. I can't wait for next weekend. Just a few more things to take care of.

 

Watch for the new EMMR sign on route 15

 

I just blew a brake line, looks like I'm probably hitching a ride down.

 

Speaking of the new sign. John Marks & crew made up this bitchin' sign for the museum!

 

Very kool!

 

Can I drive the sign around the track??

Car is mostly packed. Come by and see the VA Boys and sign our HAMB Banner! Cant miss it!!

 

Is anyone from southern MD going up on Sat morning?

 

Hey Larry, I've got a harley servi-car coming for a project for the metalshaping demo. We are going to do some paper and flexible pattern making , wire forming, and complex metalshaping. I've only seen pics but it should be a real learning experience. Sure you don;t want to make it 2 days..... tt

 

We'll be there all day Friday...

 

Anyone ready yet!? These pics aren't mine... pulled from the Hamb, but I can't stop smiling just lookin at them.

 

BTW... love the new sign!

 

Pants are overrated ---they're going to be caked with mud anyway You don't find a crew chief like that everyday -- probably a good thing

 

Rain all week then Sunny and 79 on Saturday yaaaaahoooooooooooo!!!!!

I have decided to come up Friday. I got a room at the Comfort Inn in Gettysburg. I'm a little uncomfortable (no pun intended) leaving my car in the Hotel parking lot at night. Anyone have any bad experiences with this in this area? Dummy spots, spinners and side pipes can come off pretty easy.

 

I wouldnt think you would have too much trouble there at the Comfort Inn. Gettysburg is mostly tourists. Especially in that part of town. Plus most of the parking lots are very well lit. You should be able to sleep OK.

 

Cool sign. That's going to be hard to miss

 

Sure hope that's not John's T!!

 

We are all set and ready to go from Pittsburgh. so excited!!!

 

See U there, I live 30 mi south of Pittsburgh

 

If it doesn't stop raining soon, we will need a swamp buggy at Latimore.

 

We'll be fine. It WILL be mushy, but it will also be sunny & 78 on Saturday.

 

Not much different than any other year then
Seeya Friday.

 

If this damn rain keeps it up I'm leaving the raceboat hooked to the '51 and I'll try some short runs in the creek by the track .

 

Old Skool a set of baby monitors is cheap security a the hotel!!!

 

Comfort Inn in Capital City / Mechanicsburg, Pa 717-766-3700 only 10 -15 mins away. Plus some Hamber's are staying there.

 

I have a 50 shoebox trunk, typical lower rust, that i started repairing years ago, never finished. The skin is decent, just a pin hole or 2, its free, send me a pm if anyone wants it, I'll toss it in the van.

 

Really glad to see the weather forecast looks good!

 

I like SUCKERPUNCH SALVAGE better anyway.

Come on sunshine
