Glad you are feeling better, Jim!

Thanks John, those images gave me a laugh. I think the first pair in a graphite color to match your car and with carbon fiber straps would be a perfect driving shoe for you. Maybe a matching pair for Molly, however they would look way better on her.

Just to let you all know I'm flying in this fall with the airfare I was unable to use this past spring due to a illness that prevented me from attending
I will be landing at Tyson McGee airport in Knoxville on Friday morning at 11:50 and renting a car.
Should arrive at the lodge around 1:30pm on Friday,
After attending 10 of these meets my real enjoyment is being with the people and not having my car with me is ok this time,
See ya all at the lodge on Friday.

Bring them both. There are plenty of Hicks down there that will be impressed by the 'Vette. Park it in the lot. Meanwhile you can enjoy driving the Dragon in a real sports car

Thanks Evan,
I'll take ya up on that offer and I will ride with Franc Rauscher as well.
This should give me the best Crossfire experience overall with my friends.
A SRT6 Crossfire Roadster and a NA Crossfire Roadster with a stick
both nicely modded with skilled drivers behind the wheel.

See everyone....you can fly in for this meet and have a great time.
Nobody lives to far away to go to the Dragon.

There are always passenger seats for you to ride in and we would love to have you.
You don't even need your Crossfire to have a great weekend at the Dragon.

There is more fun in numbers... and having car or tire trouble in a Crossfire alone is a 'drag', so....

If you are coming from GA/FL/AL/ or are in any way planning to come thru Atlanta...

I'm hoping to have my SRT calipers and rotors on the car by then. Given my advanced years and failing eyes,,,better brakes might come in handy. I know I hardly use the brakes but along with everything else, I'm getting lazy as I age.
