We got there Friday just as the skies opened up so we missed out on everything that day. Saturday saw lots of trouble at the track with an accident and oil downs, along with moisture on the track that delayed a lot of racing. It seemed that the only time they actually raced was when we were cruising the show or swap meet. I scored a few small items fro my project Dart and found a center AC vent for my Coronet that I've been searching for for years. It's not in great shape but I think I can make one good one out of the two so it was a steal at $5. By 3pm Saturday we had had enough and packed up to leave. As soon as we hit the turnpike the fan belt made a funny noise then went quiet. With no problems show on the gauges we stopped at the next exit and it looked ok. Then it started raining and I heard more noises so we stopped again and found the fan clutch seized up. Stopped at two auto stores and neither had one that fit, mostly because of my aftermarket radiator taking up more room. So we drove the next 3 hours through pouring rain with me stressing out that the fan would wobble and hit he radiator but we made it home ok. So... does anyone have some cheese to go with my whine?

I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.
