For everyone traveling in our group that has a radio, I have mine set to CH 6 and charged up ready to go. I will have the second one with me if anyone needs to use it going up.

Is that condition a result of the dash swap?

Unfortunately yes.

It's within the cluster, as the sending units for all Crossfires, both SRT and N/A, are the same part number.

It has to do with hard-coding on the chip itself. Not an easy fix.

Concerning the gauges, I have a backup plan, but it will wait until after the Dragon.

Sorry, Rob. I'm already 90% there. But I am glad to hear you're coming!

In fact if anyone is near US129 in Alcoa, I'm at the Japanese restaurant next to WalMart.

I just now walked off the field to make sure it is dry enough...it is as long as we get no more rain.

The plan is simple, we will be lining up at 0830.
There will be a few of us lining people up, so please don't just decide to park where you want.
Since there are about 70 of us, we are going to go about 10 across, but the layout should be discussed by everybody Fri if we have time...this is not a dictatorship....at least until the wife says so (I'm sure backed up by Jane threatening to torque some nuts)

By the way, the gas station on 129 before you get to the Parkway is only at 92 octane regardless of what the sign says but the price is pretty good. They do have 100 octane racing fuel if you want to pay about $7 or more a gallon

Just to clarify this is on Saturday Morning at Fontana Lodge correct ??
We won't have any photographer at the Dam so this one is it.
Hope everyone can drag their butts out in time to move ALL the cars for some spectacular pics.

Also James1549 has video equipment and would like ALL the drivers to proceed in a single convoy on to the Dam so he can capture everyone together as we all roll into the parking lot.

None of this or course in mandatory but we encourage everyone to try to participate in order to have some great video and photos.

All of our professional photos will be taken by www.US129photos.com

These photos will include all the photos taken of our cars and our group on Saturday morning at the Fontana Lodge
and also all the photos taken of us running the Tail of the Dragon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

These will be posted on their website after the weekend concludes in a special link "Crossfires"

These are very high resolution photos and a great value to have all of them for this low price.

Here is a sample of what you get for your $45.
These were all from last Fall.....
