mmmmmmmmmmmm..................Flash forward to 2013!! After Dave went into hiding, this Hot Rod class was re-named Early Modified. For us who race them, they are fun. Open wheels are not the monster that some say they are, they handle well and are as fast or a tad faster then the Econo/Sportsman as their chassis are the same design.
You all are welcome on the hosting thing, I really enjoyed it also. Good time and the food! WOW!
Bill; I can hardly wait 'till you get this car on the track. I really think it will be a good runner once it is dialed in or maybe right out of the gate!!
When I get back home I will send the latest picture of it to Monte so he can post it on this page because it is an impressive picture in my opinion.
I had a good time at the race, coffee and goodies, what more is there? Oh, the racing of course! I like the Odd Thursday's format.
Well hopefuly I will not have to borrow cars any more, (thanks to Bill and Monte who loaned me cars ) as I ordered a sports car and a GT car from Fantasy World yesterday. The GT car is a pre order so I really don't know when they will show up at my door.
I am having a heck of a time finding better tires. I can not get through the sign in process on E-bay, that is where I found some tires. So today I will look at other venders. Fantasy World was out of what I was interested in.
See ya.
I should have checked this page out sooner. I have plenty of plates and utensils here in the shop stored away for the "big" events.
I had a good time and it looked like everyone else did also.
I don't know what the protocal is for the NASTE group to hold races at different tracks, wether it is by vote or what not, I informed Bill this morning that I would be interested in hosting the Holloween race in 2013. Bill was in favor.
I will do a race report on last nights race on the NWTSR site under "Pit stop" as soon as I can. I have some neat pictures to share.
See ya.
Fellow racers and race enthusiasts: My wife and I hooked up our trailer and headed for Phoenix. We had tickets about 20yrds. north of the start/ finish line up in the stands.
We paid for a 3 day spot in the field outside of the track with a thousand other rigs ranging from huge motor homes to people with just tarps.
Great weather until the night before the race, it rained hard, blew hard, nasty (no pun intended) I figured if this was Portland, the race would be cancelled 'till Aug. But got up raceday morning and the sun was shining at 80 degs.
We were in for a real culture shock as this was our first major NASCAR event. I'm talking about the fans...... WOW.
I'll give you an example and then quit rattling on.
Got up race day morning to a beautiful day. Standing outside looking forward to a great day of racing. Camped behind us in tents and tarps was about 15 people of all ages. They partied for 3 days solid. I'm fine with that as I have been there. But here comes one of the older ones and told me he had to apologize to me. This guy had the cowboy hat, vest, jeans, boots and believe it or not spurs on each boot, couldn't tell if he had his six shooters with him or not, I was sort of looking over his shoulder for his horse but to no avail. Any way he told me he had been so drunk the night before that he couldn't remember a thing. His son who was in his thirties or so told him to come and apologize to me. He said, and I quote ( my wife and sister in law are standing near ) " well I guess I whipped out my pecker and relieved myself on your trailer".......... Now what am I supposed to do with that? So I said " well it rained last night and the damage is probably washed away". Then he sort of went on and still talking about the incident when his son came over and told him he was opologizing to the wrong guy, he needed to go to the next trailer and make his peace to the owner and on he went.
Now I see why NASCAR fans like to sit and watch shiny things go 'round and 'round and 'round and.................
Hey; I can tell you it is nice in New Mexico, no slot stuff, but it is nice.
See ya in a week or so.
Bill; I was just kidding on the glue, I'll share it with anyone. It really is no secret, Gearloose turned me on to it.
On the chassis, they come in a bag full of parts, maybe you know that already. The instructions are in German!!! I have one in a bag that I'm going to put together soon. I have a couple I can copy if I need to.
Bill; what would the advantage be to me if I told you?

Fellow racers; the final rules for GT-1 will be here tomarrow ( May 4. )
I started to type them in tonight but it is 11:00 pm. I'm winding down!
See ya, Howie.
But it is also lots of trouble, time, and expense to build four cars to see if racers are interested. I'm glad I didn't build four Hot Rods, three guys built four cars ( I built two ) and nobody was interested. In fact they were laughed at by a few despite the fact we installed sealed super sixteens. They ran great and handled good and did not touch wheels and fly all over the area as a few had predicted. For us who raced them, it was a lot fun. But if you don't have a following, the class is over. The four cars are still in existence......mmmm.
So Dave, what happened? When my name is used to promote something, I expect some action to see things through, or at least a real good excuse as to why it didn't take place. I agreed to have the race and that was the last I heard. The season is pretty much over.
Bill, Hop on over to the Oscar site, I posted an answer to your question and blabbed on and on. Yes we are racing Sat. night. That would be great to get Beaus' car on this sight.
Fellow racers; we have another completed GT1 car on board. Beau finished his car and tested it the other day. His car is a beauty as always and performs equal to mine. Hope we can get a picture of it on this page soon.
