    Hi Jon,

    Yes I will be at Cal Speedway with HSR. Not sure that I will get to run with you this time as I am a prod car and you guys have your own run group now. Guess I have to get my 510 done.

    Jon,

    Good seeing you at the BRE Reunion. As we discussed, we had some motor issues and went the wrong way on the jetting and had it way too rich. Just wouldn't run so I had to pull off and get far enough away that it wouldn't cause a yellow in turn 2. Obviously, we still have some work to do but I am looking forward to being more competitive next year.

    See you in March!!

    Jon,

    Rain, rain, and more rain here in the NW. Its a good time of year to hide in the garage and work on race cars.

    Jon,

    I've made it to Baxters (now HSMA Portland Historics) the last 15 years either as a driver or spectator. It's always scheduled for the first weekend after July 4th which means a few family vacations have been cut short.........................Oops. (See very understanding wife)

    Jon,

    Just got back from Phoenix. A new track (for me) and a little rain made it very interesting. Still fighting some fuel flow issues but managed to come in 2nd. Helped that Tim Brecht didn't want to try it on a semi-wet track.

    See you at Willow!!

    Jon,
    Looking good for Auto Club Speedway this month. We currently have about 13 cars signed up and Ed is going to give us our own run group. Les and Jim are trying to contact as many others as they can so if you know some sedan guys we may not, feel free to contact them. Was sorry I didn't get the Trans-Am invite earlier, might have taken that trip. Maybe next year although the Mitty comes first. See you at Fontana.

    Jon,
    Got a comment on the BS/2.5 group site from a Mike Rogers with Rocky Mountain Vintage Racers in Colorado. They do a Trans-Am vintage event each year and sent an invite to the VRL a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like an event that might be fun. And Colorado is reasonably close. Check out the website. See you soon.
