Guys,

I'd like to be there but we rented some track time at Lake Geneva to wring out a new IMCA car. If your in the area around 1pm, stop by and hang out for awhile. We're the black #55 car. Let's all hope for good weather!

I would love to attend the WCCC Poker run, however right now my engine is out of the car.

Like most of us, we work on our car over the winter, but unfortunately very late in the process of putting everything back together (I had the trans out), I discovered too much crank end play, so I decided to pull the engine out and get it looked at. The engine ran fantastic with great oil pressure, just too much endplay. Oh well, I hope to be on the road in a couple of weeks from now.

I might stop by just to see and hear a Cobra again.

Count me in, (I Don’t need no sinking sleep) I got the Cobra done early this year and it looks like the weather will be good, I am looking forward to it.

It sounds like we have about 5-10 cars that will be going, so were going to make it a cruise/poker run...where the cars will tour as a group more or less.

A bit different than the Harley guys do it.

The final stop is Wild West Town! check it out http://www.wildwesttown.com/

I look forward to seeing everyone. Look aroung the riverboat for the cobras. Plenty of signs for the riverboat if you are coming from I-90!

Just a note to let everyone know that the Poker Run went very well. We had 6 cars and trekked some very nice roads.

The high hand winner received $60!

Hopefully, we can have another poker run this season and make it just as much fun...

The perfect day and most of all a lot of attention every were we went of course it took me two hours to get the bugs off the nose and windshield but it was worth it, I would like to thank Chuck for organizing it. My little small block keep up with the big dogs and when I got home all the parts where still there, can I sit on the porch with you guys now. I was at the open house last night and the local rod club wants to join us on our next run. I don’t think they can get from point to point as fast but they said if we have a map they will be there.
