Post up when you're going. I'll come out. I saw on classicoldsmobile that ATCO was closing. Or, did they just drop sanctioning?
I think yellowbullet is May 14th? That event is great.
Atco was trying to sell to a place that stores totaled cars. But that has big environmental impacts so it is a long drawn out process that may turn out to not even happen because it needs approval first.

I've heard the same about Atco. What a shame to see that place close (big run down - good for my bad brakes lol).

Is the Yellowbullet race the one from the fall? That might have been Covided/cancelled?

FWIW I'll go as well - Cecil is great, and a reasonable drive from here.

Yup. If all goes well there will be two yellowbullet races this year.
Atco may not even be sold the way things are going.

Got the rear trunk patches finished. Also had to make my first patch from scratch. The driver and passanger pillar bar patches were unusable so I had to re make some. I am happy with how they turned out so far. Still have to weld it in.

Im trying to.
I got the transmission, rewiring in the car is done, I just have to get some rewiring under the hood. Motor and transmission is in. Body mounts are all done and patched back in and seam sealed. Bumpers are back on too. Have to test fit headers and send them to get coated.
