Nice and hot today. So staying in side and getting some house work done. Hopefully get most of the day out in the shop tomorrow. I've got a few pieces prepped and ready for primer again, I think, so may do some spraying in the afternoon.

Had a hell of a race, tons of trucks, race started at about 315 (was supposed to start at 230) I was last class of the night. I think I made my second pass about 1120. First pass I screwed up and tried to find another gear that wasn't there, instead N was. Second pass I ran a 7.0xx. First place rapped us with a 5.999 but 2-6th place was 6.5-7.3... not to bad for a old junkyard engine I guess. I'll get some videos up later.

Now today is a different story, just walking the dog I don't want to be outside!

It is always good when you can drive it back on the trailer!

Yesterday I thought was pretty good weather wise as I spent some time in the garage after a little yard work.
Now today is a different story, just walking the dog I don't want to be outside!
The second run reminds me of when a raced at Etown in NJ in the street class. Because we had to run mufflers and they had a noise cut off time we could run late.

Uh oh, did the TV suck you in to TV land?
I got some yard work done Saturday and Sunday, and my Mum came and visited Saturday night, so all in all a pretty good weekend.

nahh watched Jaws at night with the fire scene on when i went to bed... but had fought with the corner tin all day so i never got the roof off so i could fix the under supports... in addition to the tar sealant tape there were 3 other sealants under the paneling i was fighting with.. by time i finished it was getting dark.. Sunday i put tarps over it till i can get back down there next weekend..
