John, I plan to be there mon-tue-wed.  I plan to park in front of homebuilders headquarters as an "auto conversion".  They have offered this parking to former champions, homebuilts with over 1000 hrs, and auto-conversions (and maybe more).  I called and they are sending me a card for the window to alert the parking crew.

Summer found me detoured from the airplane project.  Now I have the exhaust system fabricated, it is time to try some exhaust experiments.  Does any one have an idea on the auto exhaust temperatures after the catalytic converter.  My V-6 cylinder pickup is going to need exhaust work and somewhere it is stuck in my mind that I read that the exhaust can go as high as 1900 degrees, so don't leave running in dry grass.  This happened at Sun n Fun.  I'm thinking of trying the 60 degree angle plate drilled full of holes, may 1/8" or 5/32" and welded in a section of pipe and see what happens.  If it turns into an exploding cigar I'll be on the ground.  Those cones are 3" in dia. and $60.00 would be less expensive than a muffler and with the housing would be lighter.  JohnD       Is anyone going to Oshkosh?  I hope to be there the first and second day.
