Some nice ideas. Paul (Db), I reckon a lot of people will be wanting to help you along, so much work in that car and a lot of us have been willing it to completion
Dave81, I can advise you on the joys of quick column gear shifts if you like, plenty of experience with that

Heres what might work best park up near the other Mopars...makes a sort of camp
and then everyone can learn, get advice and hands on help....without walking the Length of the strip looking for other board members.
We should Build a sort of Mopar Corral at race meetings

We try and do this at Shakespeare County mate, generally we do get to park together and will endever to save late comers a spot. This year is a big year not only the 20th Nats but also Shakey as its fourty years old and the 35th running of Gary’s Picnic. So lets make a big event for us too, if you need an incentive the mustang boys are going to be out in force with their "Mustang Stampede" lets show them how its done..

I haven't got a picture, sadly, but the best bit of action at the HRDs in the 'Mopar pits' was about eight blokes including Guy staring at the back end of his Dart assessing what was out of shape whilst Mary sat in the car blipping the throttle with the car on stands.
Think it was a bent half shaft, but if anyone has a pic of everyone scratching their heads and staring at the ass end of an orange Dart, they should post it up

Steve, non racers just park on the grass behind. That leaves the hard standing for the racers to prep on.
