I replaced the speedometer cable with a new one after finding that the old one was broke in two pieces. Test drove the car a few miles that day and it worked great. Packed the car up for the Camaro nationals, but I was only able to make it to the Saturday portion of the event. Left at 6 am on Saturday morning and got out to Morgantown, PA right around 8:30. Just a few short miles into the trip, the speedometer stopped working again. It stayed dead until about 10 miles away from the event. Also, It began to rain about an hour into the trip, and later became heavy rain which ended just a few minutes before getting off the highway for Morgantown.
The show was another good one, with about 614 camaros on site. A bunch were on display inside the Classic Auto mall building, and the rest were outside in different areas of the parking lot and grass. Had a good time chatting with various people. I really liked the design they had for this year's event, so I grabbed T-shirts for me and my son. Drove back to NJ with two buddies and we saw a scattering of camaros along the way. Aside from the speedometer issue, the car did fantastic. 217 miles in total as per the gps; and vehicle temperatures, pressures, mechanicals were all good.
I next will explore the back-side of the speedometer gauge in the dash and probably order a new light-green plastic "driven" gear to go in the tailshaft because its likely the hole is worn out. Not sure what is coming up in the next few months for the car, but I do plan on having the track rental in Mid-late October.
