It was like 1965 all over again......
I spent the weekend with my CVAR vintage racing buddies at Texas World Speedway this past weekend. During the P&Q Saturday morning one of the GT350's 289 started loosing water. After 15 minutes of discussion, the decision was check compression (which exposed a leaking cylinder) then to tear the engine down to replace both head gaskets. So in a period of 4 hours before the next race, including a 30 minute down pour (under a tent), four guys pulled, cleaned, polished, replaced, torqued, assembled and started that bad boy back up.............(OK, it was really 4 1/2 hours and he missed the next race, but did run the next one after.......it just sounds better if he did).
It was really a great sensation. All that was missing was the Speed Channel cameras and matching shirts. Spectators walking by with cameras and camcorders, competitors helping with tools and non-helpful advice, other laying down cash betting if we would make it or not ....... Hooray for club racing camaraderie.
I wasn't around racing in '65, but those of you who were, it must have been the same excitement.

That wasn't Steve's mustang was it? At any rate that just proves that our community is alive and well. See you in Tulsa in a few weeks!

Clois, actually it was the GT350 that launched over the tire wall 2 years ago at Mid-America.

Well, not me. I'll be in San Fran for that week. Wish I was coming, but the wife would neuter me if I didn't go with her.
