yes, I have my nieces birthday that morning at 9 and redDMC has his nieces birthday at 2. plus Alex won't be in town that weekend. so we will be moving it to later in sept so more people can attend. hopefully it will be a decent tech session and get alot of repairs done and then take all the cars up on to the dragon and have a nice mountain drive after, and then cookout at my parents lake house after the run. hopefully more SEDOCers will be able to make it up there also.

If someone could help me swap out my headlights that would be great. I can't seem to get the screws out, and I'm afraid I'm going to break something. I'd also be interested to have some other D owners check out my steering and braking. I know the D doesn't have power steering, but mine seems to be way harder to turn than it should. It also stops incredibly slow (much slower than may 83 trans am for instance). It also seems to not run as well as it should, maybe something isn't tuned right?
I've done the thing where you shim up your center console so the DMCH window switches will fit. I'd be happy to help someone else do that to their car. Just bring a length of 2"x2" wood and a saw that you can cut it with. I've got some smaller wooden shims I'll bring that you can use along with the 2X2 piece of wood.
3-day bump! Getting more excited now.
The only issue: the f%*$&ing weather. The forecast is almost useless, as it changes every day, and every day is like a flip of a coin.... Seattle/Atlanta......Seattle/Atlanta. But I think it's safe to say if we wake up Saturday morning and it's wet and drizzling outside, we should postpone to another day? Hopefully we won't have to though.

It's rained every day for 3 months The trick is is generally not raining in the morning, and rains in the mid to late afternoon. So if its not raining in the morning I say we go for it.
Addresses sent. I'll be happy even if it's cloudy, as long as it's dry.
