I think i might have a workday soon.

The goal will be to get the brake system working correctly and install the engine. I should have everything needed.

Everyone is invited, please invite non-DLK if you wish, no problem here. It will probably be on a saturday. Tentative date is Sept 26th, although that is the get together day....


thats the day of the night show


So, are you saying that you'll be there so I can drive it to the night show? ;)


that would be cool if it could make it. unfortunately i work the day of the show and have to fly straight over for setup.

Danny brings up a good point. I'm going to plan on October 3rd for a workday. Please come if you can. I'm going to try and get as much done on my own before then.

Thanks!
