Beau Frazier - car builder extraordinaire! 

I have finally reached the point in the "moving process" where I feel I can devote a little time to some of my hobbies. I can actually see some portions of the shop floor now, although I still have things to find a "home" for in the shop, as well as the need to "find" some specific tools and equipment which I use for those hobbies. But I have made progress. Just last week during one of the last nice days we had, I went out shooting with one of my new neighbors. The next day I readied one of my slot cars for the annual Rapid 500 race at my friend Howie's by painting up a new body. I couldn't find my supplies for painting slot car bodies so I improvised using some Rustoleum paint and masking tape I had on hand. It didn't turn out great but, it served the purpose. I had a great time at the race and look forward to getting back into the slot car racing scene. It has been a long 15 months!

Late this evening I received a couple of phone calls regarding the OSCAR race which was to be held at Electron Raceway on Saturday, October sixth. The bottom line is that after several cancellations, at most, only 6 people might attend. Sorry folks, not enough for a race. I regret that the Trans-Am race will be cancelled. I have no plans to reschedule.

You'll need to show that "release" at the next race Mitch!...........

Seriously though, really glad you're doing so well on your recovery!
