Bill,
I'm afraid I let myself get distracted with too many other projects. The TR6/V8 is still unfinished. You can find details on it at
https://www.britishv8.org/swaps/TR6ford.HTM I've made some progress since these files were uploaded, but not a lot.
For those of you interested in the V8 meet next year, here is the tentative schedule, subject to minor changes.
SUNDAY:
7:00pm: Beer and Burgers - Cookout/welcome party. Hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecue, beer, wine, sodas.
MONDAY:
9:00am: Drive to Newfound Gap atop the Smokys for a spectacular view and a very scenic drive up.
12:00pm: Catered picnic at Metcalf Bottoms (on the return trip from Newfound Gap) - Fried chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, cold cuts, fresh salads, soft drinks
2:00pm: Drive to Tuckalleechi Caverns, a very interesting cave, similar to the Lost Sea (minus the sea).
5:00pm: Tech sessions
7:00pm: Show and Tell, parking lot BS sessions
TUESDAY:
8:00: Drive through Cases cove, an 11 mile, one way road through an old pioneer setlement, with several old cabins, a water wheel flour mill, cantilever barns, etc, all open to visiters. Or Autocross.
12:00pm: Tame the DRAGON! 318 turns in 11 miles - what else needs to be said?
3:00pm: Tech sessions.
7:00pm: Paddle-Wheel river boat dinner cruise (we'll need to leave the motel at 5:30. It's about an hour's drive, and the boat starts loading at 6:30, leaving the dock at 7:00. The boat cruise is about 2 hours long)
WEDNESDAY:
8:00am: Breakfast run to the "Top of the World" Coffee and doughnuts with a view at the end of a very scenic drive!
10:00: Have another go at the mighty DRAGON!
3:00pm: Tech sessions.
5:00pm: Auction/swap meet/door prize drawing. Bring along all those old parts you no longer need. Sell them and buy others parts you do need.
7:00pm Barbecue. Same as last time - BBQ pork, chicken AND ribs - you won't go away hungry.
8:00pm: Blue Grass Band. The same band as last time, I hope. If not, an equally good band.
Admission to the Cavern and the river boat cruise are not included in the registration. Every thing else is. I don't expect any major changes to the schedule, just minor tweaks, but I will post the final schedule around the first of the year.
