Just not going to have enough time to break it in properly before Carlisle. We have not cancelled our hotel reservations yet but its not looking promising at this point. Pam and I are definitely going to miss spending time with all of you and if something changes we'll be there for sure. If not next year for sure! I'll keep all of you posted on the progress and out come. Joe
Oh wow, bummer on several fronts. The engine issue's and possible not making Carlisle, you both will be missed. How ever congrats on the stroker motor. Can't wait to see it all done.
