Fun racing today, Jim glad the re-heated chilly was ready as it hit the spot after our drive. Keep an eye out for my white alligator clip for my controller. It g go as to be there somewhere.
Chris, you gave my blue car a good run today.
I enjoyed the Super Modified car and found some work after the first shake down run.

Fun racing today, Jim glad the re-heated chilly was ready as it hit the spot after our drive. Faye will have me sleeping outside again if she hears that I said the chili was reheated. She was up making the chili, muffins with honey and the brownies after I told her that I thought nobody was coming because of the weather. Luckily, I had everything on the shelf already. This time the chili had the hot chili con carne in it because I haven't been able to find the regular since 2020 at the local store. Thanks to everyone that braved the weather and made it to the house. I did clean the walks a couple of times before everyone got to the house. With the sheet of ice on the sidewalk as everyone left, I should have come outside to clear everything before you guys left. Jim W My rolly polly car has never ran that fast before. I guess it was just scared of being seen with other cars around it. It was just trying to get away and hide. It even kept getting on its top, thinking it was hiding. I should have used Mr. Bean sitting on top of his car, but I would have had everyone leaving because I would have come off even more with that car. I think I seen Doug breaking a sweat from putting my cars on so much. (I don't know what the car is. I paid $19 for a no-name car. I bought 2 at that price since they had small aluminum wheels on them. They look Much better with the fender flairs on them. OK, they are just ugly either way.) |

Want to Thank Chris for following me in the 1/24th Vintage class while I was on the blue lane. That way I was able to get more than the 11 laps that it showed for my lane. Why do only I have problems with my car on the blue lane? My body is wider than the timing light and I painted the inside of the car, to keep the light bar from shining through the body. There is something I don't like about these open wheel cars besides my car flying in the air from wheel contact.
