Planning on arriving Thursday, late afternoon. Bringing along some good friends from Stillwater.....

Rick Kirk, RK Machine
Heavily involved in outside machine shop services during engine development and early production, lots of great LT5 history stories.

Greg VanDeventer, Mercruiser
Involved in the LT5 manufacturing program from the beginning and many special LT5 projects along the way. Still doing custom LT5 port work on heads, inj housings and plenum. He's top of the craft.

Chris Allen, Mercruiser
Tapped by Mercury to develop the LT5 production line, Chris was one of the initial Mercury personnel to be involved in the LT5 program.

Rick & Greg have made the 1500 mile round trip with me before. Those trips were the seemingly shortest 11hr trips I've ever made. Talked the whole way and never ran out of topics.

We will be towing the Lingenfelter 415 Aerobody ZR-1.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

PS: will be bringing some gaskets, seals & a few typical parts, coils, wires, alternator, starter, etc. in case someone needs something while there.
