Well we can cross out two winter time projects on the MG. I had the alaingnment done and fixed most of the camber problem, put the new water pump in and the car is in the trailer ready for the Mills Mansion show next sunday. This is a great event when the weather is like its been this weekend. You can expect 700 + cars on a beautiful day, its laid back,leaf peepin, hudson river watching enjoyment.

Where is everyone?…guess you all busy on nice Fall day….I should talk ….out All day with daughter…we were selling candy bars for her school at a local fall-fest. Lot of them this time of year down here….outside craft vendors and bad bands. If I hear ‘Sweet home Alabama’…one more time 👿
Well, I worked until 1:30 delivering parts, then helped get ready for my youngest daughters(Tiffany)10th Birthday Party. She had a good day, friends and family(3 other sisters and a brother, 2 cousins), pretty much a houseful with parents. Then after the party was over and the clean-up pretty much done, the whole family went to Friday’s for dinner. Great day!! Oh, on another note, I got the Willy’s turned around in the garage and started unhooking the various mounts and brackets to pull the motor. Cherry-picker and engine stand are waiting for duty!! Hope to get the engine out tomorrow. ……….Mikey 😆

Need a Valley Report…was Right …everyone busy …enjoy the pleasant weather…I’m on 24th coffee and heading to shop with Son to …Do Clean-ups and organizing …with all the doors open.
I checked in with the V-B crew earlier and was told that “v” lost in an early round and was
able to buy his way back into competition ❗ 😆 Then he ran under his dial, but the other
car ran further under, so “V” was still in….Waiting to hear more….John Shimer was also
there with his newly FRED’S SPEED SHOP lettered Biscayne. He added some performance
parts since the last trip down the strip and was doing repeated 14.18’s, like a true bracket
car…Waiting to hear more from him also…It sounded like they all were having a great time
today at the Valley ❗ 😆 Stay tune for their posts ❗ ❗ 🙄
Nice pics Edward ❗ John, don’t change a thing on the Biscayne, you got a real money
maker there in the bracket racing category… 😆 …Unreal times ❗ Two 14.18’s
and a .19…Awesome ❗ Just talked with “V”. He’s home safe and sound. He got beat
by a better reaction time in the next round…He had a good day with all his times very
close together. His computer is in the shop, so he won’t be posting for a while…John,
talk to you soon………. 😆
Wow! Looks like V Bob,Paul B. Mike L.,John S. and Brian and Edward M. had one heck of a good time at the ‘Valley’ yesterday! Good to see there times were consistent,and no mechanical problems.Weather wise,a perfect ‘racing’ day!Can’t wait till the 23rd for the grand finale at the Valley for me this year.Hopefully,it’ll be like yesterday’s ‘perfect’ weather!
