I just talked to Floyd Garrett and he will be happy to have you GMMG owners at his Museum on June 4th in the afternoon. I suggest grouping the cars in the front parking lot for a photo shoot including Floyd.

Enjoy the Outstanding collection of American Muscle Iron and Steel that Floyd has on display...

I'm tenatively scheduled to stay at the Econo Lodge beside Floyd's Museum on Sunday night, June 15 on my way back to SC. Was planning on popping in for a quick visit Monday morning before the trek back to Columbia.

Plan on about 1.5 - 2 hours to see all the vehicles at Floyd's. Last time I was there my #38 Intimidator was along the back wall but he constantly moves cars around as they come and go.

Be sure to check out the '62 FI Vette with no miles on the clock. Yes, Zero miles and the engine has never been fired! It's probably the only NOS one in the world. I've heard there is a $1.000.000 standing offer to buy it...

Yes, great place. Looking forward to visiting again, definately want to see that Vette! On Sunday, June 8, on the way north, I was thinking of taking 441/66 for a section of the route instead of I-40. Then, after arriving at Chilhowee Park, I'll be heading to SST Transmissions(The old Keisler place) in Rockford. They're having an open house and I was thinking of getting a 6 speed kit from them for my 68. It's also on the way to the Drive-in movie night in Maryville.

Mike Paige (CETA BB #4) & I are heading to Charlotte Monday.

Leave a message on my cell phone & I will call you back when I can.

I probably won't hear the phone when I'm in the car --- too loud.

Will have very limited E-Mail access for 2 weeks as we travel.

See you on the Power Tour.
