Rain tires for the track guys. But plenty good i’d think if one were just driving it on the streets and backroads.

the other thing to keep in mind about 200 TW tires is they wear out sooner.

Do you have a list of the classic hill climb and rally events for the northeast area? I have tried searching but am not having any luck.

Thanks for the info. Looked that one up and it is in PA.
Did more searching with a little better luck than last time. Found the Mt. Washington Hill Climb. I think that is the one that was on my mind. It has a vintage class. There could be other smaller events that didn't show in my search. The rally for vintage cars is more in my interest. Something that is relaxed that I can participate in. Any hill climb would just be for spectating.
Making plans for a stay in NYS. So far trip to Maine, Norwich to see the Northeast classic Car Museum and maybe Saratoga too.

Thanks for the schedule.
Planning to be state side sometime in the summer. We can meet up for lunch/car show/drive.
There will be plenty to do when we are able to make the trip. The house has been well taken care of but there will be yardwork and work on the cars. Brake fluid flush on all, maybe coolant change on one, replace heater core on one. At least the batteries have been taken care of with regular charging so maybe no replacement there. It has been 3 years from when we were there last and the truck battery could be 7 years old. Have to check the log to know for sure. That would be time for me to replace so as not to get stranded or risk possible charging system damage.

Olympic Ice Hockey. Finland plays Russia for gold Sunday. GO LIONS!
