Rico, glad the car showed up. Glad you showed up. Good to see everyone. It was a pretty day and we raced with the door open. Victoria made my favorite of her soups - Albondigas - a Mexican meatball soup. Very tasty. Topped off with some Mexican styled pizza from Papa Murphy's we celebrated Siete de Mayo. Some might say we just celebrated Cinco de Mayo a couple of days late. The food was great in either case. As for the racing, it was our usual Slot. It Group C race. Then Mitch provided the IROC cars - a mixed assemblage of vintage machines - all front motored beasts. And each with their own characteristics from quick to tippy.
Challenging but still fun.

Well! That was a great finishing run. However right after that video I did get to see Chris and his band playing Voodoo Chile. So with that thought in mind, hats off to the young lady - Orianthi:

Talk about being on pins and needles.
We hope and pray you make it through alive.
But just in case, tell her to put me on the list. 
I feel your pain. I'm here to help. I'll take some of those boxes away and you'll be free of the worry, the stress, the gnawing feeling of utter helplessness in the face of ludicrous odds.
Perhaps you'll even sleep better at night.
Call me.
Everybody gets a nice drive somewhere.
Hey, it's a shorter drive for me.
I'd offer to host one round out here but I can personally vouch for how lousy the commute can be.
Looks like you're giving up the tiller for a steering wheel. I think that's a good idea.
As nice as it was I'm guessing you are thinking of something even better. If so, then I hope it finds a new home where we can continue to enjoy it while you continue on to bigger and better things.
Was that an entire roll of duct tape? Looks like Chris left out the part where you paint it white with a red stripe.
That was a great heat. Need a few more like. Until next time, may the odds be forever in your favor.
And thanks Bill. It's a struggle with that narrow car now that they've upped their motors to the Baby King. It may be time for a change.
Thanks Bill for another fun night of racing. I can't believe the Killer Cobra survived a dive off the top rope without a single missing part. Of course many of them were already missing but that's another story.
And that's just the tires...
Smaller boxes make lighter work. 
It was a slippery slope for sure. But I can say for once there wasn't any hop out of those Ninco's nor were any parts lost.
So, who's got pictures?
It was good to get back to racing cars of size. Such was the case for the ten racers that assembled for the First Sunday in April which was actually the 2nd. But not the second Sunday. This can get confusing so let's move to the results.

Congrats to Jeff for his first place finish in both sets.
It could be worse...
We are the Pentium Borg. Division is futile. You will be estimated.
Ah... Faith and begorrah... I'll take a loaner.
GT3... I got nothing... Will order eventually. But don't let me lack of a car slow you down.
Server issues, sorry. Some days are like this...
Yes, racing today at Al's.
Chris, it would make a nice addition to the basement.
Just slightly less than 100 days to race day.
If there are those among you that would like to race but don't have a car let us know and we'll find you a ride.
Should be a good time with the big cars.
I can probably get out that way.
