Bottom footloose......Thats a stretch because I was mostly in the way it seemed. I did win a few rounds by luck I think. People there from Conn. to lower FL yet the locals didn,t show up to this low cost good paying race.

My boy is at Sema this week with 2 booths. One for their Turbosmart products and one for their Pedders suspension and brakes products. Turbosmart one Best New Racing Product award for the 2nd year in a row.
He and Irene are celebrating their 26th anniversary with a typical working holiday. I can't be any prouder of those two.

We are lucky to have good kids Floyd. I got one that retired at 40, another retired around same age---both of those are on their 2nd career now. Youngest is a Govt contractor and seems to be doing really well. I don't nose in their business but glad none of them have come home to roost. Those of us with good kids are blessed some are not so lucky.

Mike Hawkes started this thread years ago and has lately been consumed with facebook. So Sat I took a trip to Cana VA and hunted him down, sort of, I found his house with his 57 Chev wagon race car sitting in front but no Mike. His little dog barked and looked at me from inside but no Mike. Left a note on his wheel chair by the door with my phone number but still have heard nothing. Hope he is OK.

6 days and nobody home here. Spent a day installing trailer brake controller in new motor home, gave up and took it in for service and told them to fix it. Had to take a valve cover and get a hole welded up in it because person I bought motor from had put a freeze plug in the end of it with silicon and it was leaking. Trying to chase down an electrical problem in my starting system. No luck yet. Been cold as he!! here. Roof developed a leak so getting estimates to get that done. Life goes on! Had a long chat with old friend David "Outlaw" Spaugh last night who I had not heard from in years. Good to get a call from an old friend. Also good to hear from those of you here now and then. At least stick your head in and say hello so we know you are still above the ground. Good door car race this weekend at Piedmont and then a good foot brake race there after Thanksgiving.....Later

Mornin Y'all,

Ou temprature was 89* Monday and dropped to 69* Tuesday. Today it's in the 50's, wet and a little breezy. Might be a quite day for the Woody and I.

Good evening all, well down here we are getting some much needed rain over the last 2 days , 1.75" which is 10% of the whole year. Looks like Thursday we will be getting more rain all day, happy for the rain but SFG race this week is suffering . They will not be able to have warm up 15K tomorrow but its looks good for Fridays and Saturday 50K races. I heard they had 125 pre-entry cars , which is great for Kyles first hit out here. Hope to see over 200 but ….

You Guys Have a Great Week.
