Hi, just want to introduce myself, found this link from Rapid Transit site (awesome) Been a car nut all my life and grew up in the musclecar era (turned 16 in 1969) many fortunate friends had Road Runners, GTX's, Mustangs, GTO's etc. but not me I waited till 50 to get a pristine restored 68 GTX, better late than never!
Going up to Lebanon middle of October to check out this racing, certainly has my attention.
Mike

Welcome Mike.

Its a good time. You'll see in Oct. Best way to sum it up is "Fun at any speed".

Thinking about bringing your car? If not, lets see some pics anyway.

Hi guys, here are a couple of pics of my 68 GTX, it's an automatic with air conditioning and buckets with a buddy seat in the center, all original sheet metal. I have added a factory tach and sport steering wheel.

Thanks Mike, it goes pretty well considering todays gas, I need to get the carb tuned, seems to run rich, the car drives real well no rattles and goes down the road smooth.
Mike
