Over 50 might be fun on that track, after all that's what they were built for.

The guy on the bike need a helmet cam to get footage of all the action, including bloopers.

I believe the restrooms were also closed because they emptied straight into the river. When I was a teenager there were still old concrete restrooms in Waterfront park in Portland they didn't flush, there was just a pipe leading out of the bottom, like a fancy outhouse. One morning a couple of friends and I were wandering around the park when one of them picked up an empty bottle and dropped it into the toilet tube a couple of seconds later we heard a splash, when we looked over the rail there was the bottle floating in the river. They were all removed soon after as part of the Willamette clean up program.

Maybe we could cut a slot in the floor and build a chute. We could turn your garage into a giant vending machine. I'm just sure that Diane would love that.

When I read Indy Cars, I was picturing Watsons, I should have known better.

One nice thing about working in the garage this time of year, if I get so involved that I forget about my beer on the bench, it's still cold when I remember.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

What was ever decided on motor limits for this class? I was looking at the new Police F1 cars. They look great but have 24.5K motors in them. Would we have to change to a legal/different motor to race them?

It is supposed to be dry and cold tomorrow with partly clear skies. The roads should melt some but mostly be wore down to nothing by tomorrow afternoon. They will probably start freezing over by the time we head home, but there shouldn't be much moisture. It took me two hours and forty five minutes to get from downtown Portland to Tigard this evening. That seems like a regular odd Thursday commute for Monte.

That midget's not junk, it's one of the hardest to find items on the internet.

November 12th? Isn't that the 24 hour race in Tacoma?

I'm not racing the other Cartrix cars, I'm racing all of the other cars. It now runs in the high 7s and low 8s at Al's lap after lap without coming out of the slot. Besides I bought it used with a bad motor, but that equals cheap.
  After doing so well the last couple of months in the over 50 class my Porsche and I got quite a spanking last Thursday night. Somebody's been working on their cars, so I decided it must be tune up time. I replaced the loose sloppy axle bearings with some brand new oilites and made a few other adjustments. It now runs smooth as glass and was turning a steady stream of 7.7s and a few 7.5s if I chose to lean on it, all without leaving the slot. I'm ready for a rematch, if I can just keep my hands off of it until the next odd Thursday.

Are to going to make the body lines angular, or are to going to build some wooden bucks to hammer out some sexy curves?
