Re: Good Weekend at Carlisle

[Don Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

I drove my '65 Belvedere there.  It's a 600 mile round trip at 10.5 mpg 
on premium fuel.  Lots of thumbs up both way from passer-bys. Fun to 
know it can do that and still turned sub-8s at the Quarter Aces track 
Friday night. That may be it's last drive there.  Next year, for sure, a 
'65 Satellite convertible with A/C.  Maybe 15 mpg or more.
