So, due to a litany of odd circumstances, the "ethanol enhanced" gas in my '02 Z-28 has sat long enough to "spoil". Other than removing the tank or using the fuel pump to pump out the gas though a fuel line, does anyone have any trick to deal effectively with this old gas? I have to deal with this before I'm able to do other necessary repairs and prep the car for the season. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the RIKEN Raptor ZR tire? Supposedly, these are made by Michelin and seem to get good reviews on Tirerack. The price is so far below the other tires in this category that it seems strange that they would be as good as the ratings. Looking at these in 275 35 18 for street tires for an '02 Z-28.

Spent several hours this afternoon at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philly. Incredible collection of vintage road racing machinery mostly displayed in period diorama settings. Far too many great cars to list them all, but most major US and European Marques were represented. Among the most memorable were: CSX2287 the 1st Shelby Daytona Coupe, 1966 and 1967 LeMans Ford GTs, two 60s era Corvette Grand Sports, an Aston Martin driven by Moss, Brabham, and Jim Clark and Vic Elford's famous 1970 Porsche 917. All that and a great BBQ lunch by way of a birthday gift from my kids. A Checkered Flag kind of day!

If you get to Philly don't miss stopping in to see this place. They also periodically exercise selected cars on a lot behind the museum. The schedule of what gets out and when is posted on their website.

Looks like we'll be trying to find a used late model (2006- on) truck in order to be able to take my '02 Z28 off the road and make it a dedicated track car. The truck would need to be able to tow the car and an open trailer safely at highway speeds. Would prefer a club or crew cab for the extra space an longer wheelbase. Right now I'm thinking gas as opposed to diesel since the truck will get limited use other than for track events and few camping trips annually. It will also be available to my two grown sons as needed. Want the space of an 8' bed so I can carry plywood, etc., when needed. Durarbility and reliability are major requirement. Capable of doing most maintenance and repairs on my own on a gas powered vehicle, but I'd like to have something that was practical to use and maintain. Looking for recommendations on what to buy/avoid, average real world mpg figures, etc.. Thanks in advance for your input.

Decided to keep the car in street trim for now. As a result I have a brand new, sealed in the package Wilwood Compact Knob Type Proportioning Valve, P/N 260-8419 that I would like to sell. HRP gets $41.99 plus shipping. I'll ship the valve anywhere within the US via USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box for $30 total. If interested, please contact me via e-mail at sj3648@msn.com (this e-mail address gets checked on a regular basis - if you don't hear back from me quickly, assume it went to my junk mail and PM me here). Item will ship within one business day of receipt of payment. Thanks.
