Dan, when do we get to feast our eyes on your TR6-V8. Unless it is hidden in the site above. Can't wait to see the finished product....

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.
