Well turns out I'm maybe on Plan C now myself (the GTO has been plan B for the last 2 years). I have a brake fitting that started leaking yesterday that's hiding in the mess of header tubes, clutch linkage, steering shaft and starter zone, plus today my scattershield filled up with oil from the rear main seal that decided to let go in a big way too. Both of those fixes require removing the engine, and I have no more time nor energy for that now. Last year I had to drop out when I drove through the clutch right before Dragweek, and now this year it's other nightmares that just come up at the last minute - I swear my GTO is cursed. Last year I regretted not going anyways with the daily driver Mustang, but with my crap luck I'd probably break that thing on the way there too. I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow.

Also, if you have read MoparBilly's sagas you know that the car does not necessarily have to start/run to get tech'd in. Though with the event getting bigger, they may start requiring it...

Good luck! We hope to see you at Gateway. Don't forget the essentials: license, registration, proof of insurance! And as stated above, you can fix some stuff in the tech line (and even if there is a minor problem, like horn or rearview mirror, etc. you can fix after tech and before Monday morning).

For those here that don't know, we won't be making it either. We couldn't get the EFI tp light off and we know we have a wring fault somewhere but no time left to fix and make the drive with a completely untested new car. Drag Weekend will be the back up plan.Drag Week 2006 & 2012 - Winner Street Race Big Block Naturally Aspirated - R/U 2007 Broke DW '05 and Drag Weekend '15 Coincidence?
