Brent,

Every year we have a few people that have to drive their 
"back-up" car, or a rental.  We don't mind.  WE even have a 
"non-SHO" class at the drags.  Non-SHO's also can run at 
Blackhawk if they are safe, we don't want you to miss any 
more fun than necessary (knowing that driving the SHO to the 
covention is a big part of the fun right there!).

Of course we can't put your GTP IN the SHOw, but you can 
sure enjoy viewing all the other cars.

I will be taking my 89 with 180,000 miles and a lot of 
people attend with cars with higher miles than that.  All 
depends on the level of maintenance, so don't give up on the 
'92 unless she is giving you signs of needing some TLC!

Anyway, Yes, bring the GTP if you feel better about it.  We 
will assign your Poncho a number and it will fit right in.
