Marcos Maniacs

BTW how was VIR.  I had a friend race his porsche (hit
145 mph) there.  He saw the Marcos but did not see it
run the track.  

I have a 35ft RV that will be towing the car.  Do you
have a place for it?  If not and the wife decides not
to go (we will just be getting back from a 5 day
vacation the week before) then I will drive up and
stay the night(s).  Hotels??

What I really need it to get new shocks.  The springs
are good (only 10K on the car as you know).  I would
like adjustables but I haven't really found what shock
I need for the Mantula.  Still looking...

Hope to be there on the 3rd.
