Car was dead on 5 times in a tow but lost with a .017 light dead on .001 to a .008 dead on .009. Tough on a 71 year old foot braker.
Glad to hear it Floyd. Looks like it worked.

Mornin Y'all,

Snip snip snip, yank yank yank. Stiches and staples are out now. Goin to start therapy to get strength back in hand. All good!
Y'all have a gooden.

Need to start posting more than once a week. Still plugging along here. Changed oil in race car today and put it back in the trailer. Got a broke off lug bolt on the Mercedes so going to try to drill it out---don't look like fun. Good luck Floyd and be careful

Good evening all , had a good weekend racing Saturday sleeping an eating Sunday . Haha. Very dry here , so spending time pouring water on all the plants. Floyd I hope your getting better . Fern I wish you could send some of the rain down here, can’t wait to see my water bill ...LOL

Nick I don't remember this in Tucson but when we lived in Mesa they had ditches along the street and on certain days water would flow and we had a little gate we could open if we wanted to water our lawn. Guess to many people there now for that. Anyway poured down last night, grass growing fast. No racing but looks like a good race this weekend at Piedmont. you all stay safe.

Well I hope the NC races this weekend don't get hurt to much by the fact that we have no fuel. At noon the reports were 72% and 71% of gas stations in Raleigh and Charlotte had no gas--NONE. At 5 they announced that the pipe line was operating once more but would take up to a week to get up to full speed. Here in my small town we
had fuel, but we are out in the sticks. Still raining here but supposed to clear up tonight.

Mornin Y'all,

We've got fuel but we also have the prices to go with it. I got diesel day before yesterday and with my 10 cent a gallon discount from Chevron it was 4.05 a gallon. Then the pump shut off at 100 bucks so I didn't getta full tank. Close enough, I only use about a tnk or so a month.
Y'all have a gooden Nick enjoy your low prices.

Good morning all, last Friday before going to Racing I filled up the Dually Paid $2.79 a gallon. Today diesel is gone to $3.05 . That’s all I have to say wish I had more. Floyd you take care, Fern I hope you’re taking it easy, still need some of that rain down here in Southwest.

Nick, we need it up here too. Our inept governor has cut water to the farmlands of central California to save some smelts. When was the last time you ate smelts?

Got good weather, No fuel (75% of NC stations had NO fuel as of this morning) Good racing at Piedmont. Hope they all get fuel to get home as they keep saying its going to get better. Fern still taking it easy. Everyone stay safe.

Fern, you take it easy. It takes longer for us old guys to do stuff these days.
Nick, doing better everyday. Squeezing my balls on a regular bails. Pun intended. Part of the therapy.

Rubber balls for you that haven't had physical therapy.

Oh my! I mowed the front yard this morning. Couldn't ask for nicer weather. Low 70s, slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky, and the sun is shining. How about the foot braker winning the 75K at Piedmont yesterday? I am trying to get back into it Floyd, sitting around isn't good for me.

Tried to get an old article posted for you Fern....But still trying to figure out how.....

Almost 20 years ago---Jack has been gone for 6 years now and the 66 was replaced by the red 65 about 8 years ago. I sold most of the WV place 15 years ago and moved to NC. Racing has changed a lot since then but I try to get to the WFC and the New Years Nationals in FL every year. These are great races ran by great people. But the every week bracket races at the same track have vanished now. Struck 80 years now and seen a lot.

I noticed that piece had something about the Macys right below me. Talked to Scott Macy yesterday as I was near his shop and stopped by. Been a nice few days here in NC with temps in the low 70s and 50s at night. Hope everyone don't abandon this site, just sneak in and say hello. We miss everyone.

It was about Dan & Scott,mostly Dan and his car at that time, 69 Black Dart.......Also a picture of your old old car with your write up....Drag City News..

We old guys aren't going to leave this site. We have too many memories to move on.

Checking in on my phone. 2 computers in the house won’t let me on. Guess I need to check with Scott

Hey Barry, I see where you are getting some double up events up in your part of the country, Sacramento and Fallon.
