Wish I could have done more Floyd. Glad it went well.
I finally sold my old motor home yesterday but had to drive it 200 mi to make it happen. That old girl just likes to run and I will miss her. New one not as much get up and go but glad is over. Got new slicks day before yesterday so got to get them on the car.
Our little dog is still hanging in there and did well on our trip yesterday. Still pretty perky.

Woody looking all spiffy there. Jack had a Hooters coat back in the day-----
Got the slicks on and put new brakes pads on. Wilwood is proud of those pad for sure. Also discovered that my balancer was coming apart so I got it off today and have another on the way. Been busy, that cooling fan on the Smart car about wore me out as I had to remove almost everything from the firewall forward including fenders. Thats not to bad but putting it all back is another story but I got it done and only had 2 bolts left over. Then I broke off one of the bolts holding on one of the Mercedes wheels. If you have never seen one of these the head snapped off but the part that holds the wheel was still there. Took 1/2 a day to get that off. Had to about move everything in the big part of the garage to get the car dolly out so we can go to the mountains next week to see the leaves. Our little dog is still hanging in there, tough little girl. Keep the faith Floyd, you to Nick

Good or bad, I watched almost all day Friday and Saturday. My buddies are still in the show for today so I guess Woody is going to be bored again.

Ok my friends we got to keep this thread rolling for us old guys Big Grin
Hasn't rained here in like forever but today the SFG kicks off at Darlington and guess what--RAIN!
I was going to Rockingham to try out all my maintainence efforts. New slicks, new Wilwood brake pads, a new balancer, and changed oil. Starting to prepare for Palm Beach for Christmas--New Years race. New Years race starts day after Christmas and is 800+ miles from here so I guess I'll be driving Christmas day. OK people, come on in

Mornin Y'all,

Fern, that's a pretty fair haul to go to a race. You taking the dog and a lady?

Turned chilly out here for a few days and the winds have been terrible. Luckily where I live we don't have any wind problems so no electric outages. Marty's house was out for 2 days and he damn near wore out our little Honda 1000 running his fridge. I knew I shouldn't have sold that 2000.

Y'all have a gooden.

Going by myself as far as I know right now Floyd as dog has been on life support for about 6 weeks now with kidney failure but as long as she continues to function and is in no pain we will do whatever it takes to keep her going. Who knows what the situation will be come time to go South. We just came back from a week in the mountains and dog did well. I planned this trip last winter so plan to go.
My brother sold out in Thousand Oaks and has moved to Texas. Both retired and said after 20 years there they had had enough.

Good Afternoon guys... the desert right now has a cold front moving thru so we are about 12 degrees below normal, got six races in November with out that SFG race, which is way out of the budget. Glad to hear are the dogs are still having so fun.
The next race a two day deal starting November 9th.

You all have a Great day....

Fern, good for you. Dogs are a big part of our life but we are the only part of their life. I hope she's comfortable.
Good luck down south.

Spent most of the weekend chasing a trans fluid leak after 2 days of that discovered bolts holding the front pump had worked loose. Got them tight and my mess took off, good air! Usually runs about 6.52--6.54 but today went 6.42!!!! I lost to an 8 thou package bought back and lost a .0004 finish line. I give up! Got some work to do before FL. I really had a good time but the lack of racers at this race escapes me---5 races for $180 and those near by don't show??????
