    Bruce,
    Is this TnT seperate from what Bill and Roberta are putting together? I mean, do we have to pre-register for both or just show up on Thursday? I saw Jim Haas post a challenge out the the SA/FS guys to show up for a little battle......... Seams like this little Norwalk event is turning into a nice long 4 day weekend:laugh:

    Bruce,

    A friend of mine is finishing up his 1965 Corvette Pro Mod car. It should run 6.80s at 190 mph. He would be willing to attend this Test and Tune if you are accepting cars other than Buicks. I totally understand if you guys say no. Let me know.

    Thanks

    BPG & Norwalk

    Hi all, things are shaping up pretty good with the BPG test and tune day, I'd like to get some responses as to who thinks they will be able to attend on thursday, remember the racing is from 12 noon to 6pm So there is plenty of time to tavel early in the morning to get to Norwalk Raceway Park, we thought this way you would not need to pay for an extra nights hotel.
    I hope many of you can make this event, it should be a great time and nothing better than an extra T7T day to get ready for The 13th Annual BUICK RACE DAY which runs from Friday thru Sunday, The BPG is looking forward to meeting you and making sure you enjoy the day.

    I have taken the time off to be there all four days. Don't know if I'll make all four, but I can't wait to see what the sp1 and holley and slicks do for my times.
