    How many folks from SDC are planning to go? We're bringing 1 car, and if I get particularly productive, maybe a second.

      I'll be there, Jim and Richard, and have assurance that no Hudson Club activities conflict this year (as they did last year), so I know of at least three hot-rod Hudsons planning to attend, and probably more.

      Rumor has it Frank VanDoorn is even planning a return appearance!

      For anyone thinking of attending, do it! This is a real fun event at a place the likes of which you'd swear no longer exists; The Brown County Dragway. BP

        Is this the kind of FUN event that someone would write up for TW?

        Pictures and story are welcome.

              I thought it was about time to give this a bump. One month to go.

              Roll call anyone?

                  I have to pass on this one, but I'll be seeing you guys at the track on Wednesday night in Cedar Rapids and again in the fall at Stanton. I'm planning on putting my Hawk on a Dyno in the next few weeks,... I've got to get a M18 X 1.5 threaded bung installed in the stainless steel exhaust system for a CO2 sensor, then we are going to play with tuning the Hawk up with a strip kit.

                  Have fun in Nashville!

                    'Might be tough, Frank. <GGG> Richard and Rose Poe just "got" a new grandson yesterday afternoon! But I'll suggest Gray Bros. famous cafeteria again, in Moorseville, if everyone is up for it.

                    As soon as they're done swooning over the new Parker Joshua Poe, I'm sure Richard and Rose will be back in the saddle on the Orphan Drags detail. 'See you there.

                      Good Luck at the races and let me add my congrats to the Poes. I have greatly enjoyed many pics of Richards lark and continue to enjoy the fact that he uses that car as he does (even though I could never bring myself to do it). Steve

                        Bob,we'll talk as the date gets closer. I won't see any of you in South Bend at the swap meet though as the Caskeys will go by themselves so I don't have to make two trips to Indiana. But hey the cafeteria sounds good.[] Congrats to Richard and Rose Poe on their grandchild.

                            Dessert!?!? We are leaving Marion, IL between 5:00 and 6:00PM Friday evening. We hope to find a place to pull in late that night, grab a nap in the truck and be ready to go Saturday morning early. What time will the track open? Is there a place there we can pull in late?
