Re: Entry for NJ (April) due soon...will it make it?

We're gonna field probably 3 cars there, not counting the GLCOAT, which I'm still hoping will make it. Summit Point is the backup plan. No real time for the 8 wheeler until after Feb CMP, hence no updates. Building legendary cars isn't easy, as many here can attest. Some take months, like the secret one DC Doug and I are building now. We've been on it steadily for like two months, and we have a long way to go, but I'm pleased with how it's coming along. Really, it's turning out too nice for Lemons, but that was the plan, and we're not gonna deviate.

Re: Entry for NJ (April) due soon...will it make it?

Holy crap.  _THREE_ cars?  in one race.  Holy Bejesus.  I don't know how you find the time for all this.  We pull our hairs out to enter one car in 2 races per year. 

I meant what I said earlier about helping out with the GLCOAT.  I'll fly up on a Friday and help wrench on it all weekend.  Sometime post February CMP, of course.  BTW, I am probably going to February CMP, though not as a driver.  So I'll see you there. 

My loving, supportive g/f will probably come along for the NJ race (assuming GLCOAT makes it), and another couple we know who has been to a few of the CMP races may come, too.  If there's 4 of us, we'll probably drive up for the race.

Thanks for the offers! I'll probably schedule an octocar weekend after Feb CMP, and anyone who can help will be welcome.
