Howard,
Make sure you do a cooling system test, I don't know if you replaced your
cooling hoses yet but if you pressurize your cooling system to 15 pounds and
it holds for 15 minutes you should be ok. I usually pack a 10mm and 15 mm
wrench, pliers, screw drivers, duct tape, flashlite, and road flares.
Fortuately I've never needed any of them.

See ya at the show, and don't forget the tech session and cook out on
Saturday the 23rd.
