        fter doing this stuff non stop since 1963 I still get excited for the start of a new season. I guess Dover started a sickness there is no cure for. Did 3 new engines 2 for my car and 1 for my son’s car. Can’t wait to get started. Going to make this my bucket list year and run races and places I’ve allways wanted to do. Hope everyone has a great year.

                Lee……Got the same sickness because on Dover. Still remember getting up early Sunday mornings, hooking up the tow bar and going to Dover, hoping to do good at the track. Now here it is more than 50 years later and thinking the next (7th) race is this summer at the Valley. Where did the time go?

                    For all the “snowbirds” who got the race bug , and can’t get out today, MOTOR MANIA TV is live on line from Bradenton with the 2015 Street Nats. 😉 I wonder where the “405” crew is ? 😕

                        The bug keeps biting. The wife gave me frame connectors for Christmas. OK I put those in and changed rear from 4:10 to 4:30. It’s only the end of January, now what that car is all back together and there is two n half months of cold weather till the Valley opens

                                                I hear ya Lee. I keep running the snowblower around the trailers thinking, “it won’t be long”. Problem is, I keep having to clear all that snow alot! A new practice tree and drag racing slot cars helps with the therapy.
