I'm here! Not much to say, I'm sitting here at work being bummed out been over this weekends race and the weather. Over night lows in the high 20s and by 12 noon up all the way to 48 with the high being 51 till it starts dropping again. Do I really want to subject me and the car to that? Does not sound that fun.... Blue Man

Nick,
That's shirt sleeve weather here on the Oregon Coast.

Just put on your wool undies and put some new batteries in the electric socks and you will be just fine....lol

Joe it not me I’m thinking about! Kind of rough starting a car that’s running Alky in low 40s, and then expected to take hit when it’s 46° , Knowing that between 11 AM and 5 PM it’s going to only warm up to 49° HMMMM Blue Man

bender whats going on with your highway down there? major crash and now they saying its a homicide investigation? that stretch of road near you always has major wrecks

I-75 from the state line to the split with the Turnpike (over 100 miles) is always very busy, every afternoon if I happen to go by the Interstate southbound in particular is moving slow just because of the sheer volume of traffic. Add to that people that just don't know how to drive (including some of the big truck drivers) and those that are texting, putting on make-up, playing with the radio or just not paying attention. It's a recipe for trouble.

Joe I didn't see this till this morning, the answer is the 5 day fire in the family room fireplace was a lot of fun...LOL

Sad thing was two very nice cars got wrecked over the weekend. One taking a hard hit into the wall , the other ending up on the roof.
The first one happened 4th round of S/P temp had to be in the high 30s.... this was a very nice big tire 70s Chevelle running 1/8 at the time.

Best part of this weekend two good friends kids won the big money in Pro, each one won one day and runner up, Congrats go to Brad Hawk and Kyle Fritz on there runner up and wins. The battle of the kids,,,,,
