New ride this year. In Red

I ride an endurance geometry. If that's not your normal frame I think you will like it.

New Oakley 632 TBS250 Max Speed
New FTI Level V trans and 93BC converter

Yes, that’s what I ride now. My 2016 Roubaix at 56cm was always too big, but truth be told I want the new Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9250, 12-speed Pro-level group set. I rode 1200 hrs and 18,500 miles last year and I’m ready for new stuff.

That's a good looking Bird.

I've got to freshen up pretty much everything, as well as replace a lot of safety stuff. Thinking of just taking the year off and spend the time/money working on my place here in Colorado, and continue looking at places back in Alaska. At some point I'm going to head north for good, got a lot to do between now and then. I'll be fun to be racing back in Alaska again though, sure do miss that place.

New ARH headers NEED to go on this season. I bubble gummed, baling wire, coat hangered, JB Welded, etc, a tube through the end of the season. I need to at least get a short style solenoid for the trans (TH400), if I don't simply go to a block off (I footbrake), because the collector hits it, and prevents the flange from meeting the head. DRE diaper will go on, check over the brakes, and if I can, I want to go through the trans.

With 3 cars racing the off season is busy. Just finished freshening up the 8.90 JD - myself. It runs great! 11.90 JD LO206 should run forever. Just a bunch of little stuff all around. Fabricating weight tanks. Good once over on my ride. Trailer and golf cart need some work. Put new brakes on my truck - I did the AC Delco upgrade and they are much better.

With Atlanta closing, trying to figure out where to race. Looks like we might have a few home tracks this year.

Building a brand new carbon body American dragster. Ive been busy purchasing all the wiring, racepak, grid, etc.
