    OK, Chris.

    It looks like your Maverick, Ivy's Maverick, and my Comet GT, so far for sure. Then several have said they will be arriving on foot. That's great!

    Doug, don't you pretty much have a mini meet every morning in your yard?

    Unfortunately (or fortunately) my family has a reunion every year at this time. I'll be headed the other way (Louisiana).

    The best I could've done was to trailer mine there anyway (which I had considered doing until I remembered about the reunion).

    You guys have fun and please take plenty of peectures.

    Be safe

    I grew up in Manifest, LA. My hangouts were Jonesville, Jena, Alexandria, Vidalia, Ferriday, and Natchez Mississippi. Only went to Monroe a few times.

    I'd go towards Monroe every now and then. There used to be a drag strip called "Harmon Raceway" between Monroe and Columbia. Great memories.

    I never hung out down south to much. Stayed around the norther side mostly. We used to go to Harmon on the weekends to the races. My dad raced a '64 Falcon back then. Went about 3 years ago and they had some really fast cars there. Its called Twin City Dragway now, unless they chaged it. Well, hope you have a good time at the reunion and we'll see you next time.

    Looking forward to next Saturday in Waco!

    Sounds like a chance to meet several of you all up there. Tomm and I are going to caravan from Temple. The show is only 4 hours long, so we are going to try and make it by 8 AM. If anyone else is coming from the south, let us know.

    Looks like Ivy (Fordman), Chris (Xrs), and I (DAB) will be showing cars. Tomm might still bring his Grabber (for behind the scene observation). I know Will is coming as well.

    scooper77515, you still thinking about coming up to Waco?

    Anyone else?

    Wow, that would really be a surprise! What a great idea! (y)

    I'll pay for anyone's entry fee, if they come that far to a Mini-Meet in Texas! :D

    Thank for the support, Dan!

    I'll be at the Shell at the Temple exit #304 between 7 and 7:15 tomorrow as planned! See you!

    Glad to see you put the Mustang in his place. They seem to always bring it upon themselves. :D
