No, but I'm planning on attending the East coast meet at Cecil County Dragway in Maryland on Saturday.

I was a regular at the GSCA meet during the early years from '82 till about 1993.  Always enjoyed those meets!

A bit road weary having been gone for almost two weeks. Maybe next year.

Will be leaving early Thursday morning. Plan on being there early afternoon. Bringing the 68 this year. Last year took the 65, so it's the 68's turn.

Take lots of pictures, Glenn.  How did the rear quarter turn out?

Starc, how was the event? How did the Gran Sport run on the track? Any good nailhead GS pictures to share?
