Very cool. Daughter time is awesome.

Nice! Looking good. Can't wait to see the car in person....when do you think you'll be on the track again? Any plans to race in CA at all this summer?

Good question with no answer. My health has been decidedly “not good” — and right now I’d say that I’ll personally never be behind the wheel of a race car again.

However — I’m talking to several people about driving it.... for several reasons:

#1 — I want to know what I built (had built)

#2 — I’d like to rub Suttons nose in it

#3 — A “race car” isn’t worth much without some kind of pedigree.... Who would buy a car like this and have no idea what kind of laptimes it can turn?? So obviously because of my health situation - the car will undoubtably be for sale at some point. Can you imagine a buyer asking - What does it run — and I say..... “no clue”. So #1 — fixes #3

#4 — I love this stuff and if I can’t drive - I’ll take the alternative - be at a track where my car is running.

Sweet that you can get the trailer inside, that's nice.

You missed absolutely nothing at Spring Sprint...was straight up miserable. In addition to the rain I'm going to go on record and say that the club needs some help to survive.

Totally agree with both statements. Membership is old and getting older — and there are other groups that run a better show.

Basher - me - Rob DIckey all showed up at Sonoma to support Dave running NASA —- I can swear to your MISERABLE WEATHER statement..... just flat out nasty!

Can you put a passenger seat in the car and at least get a few laps in it that way?

You’ve got a GREAT daughter and if it weren’t for her I would have gotten a bunch of chores done around the house. She a spittin image of you, way cuter but just as stubborn. I’m glad to call you both friends.

With the shop kinda set up and the lift getting set up this week we’ll need to get everyone together to christen the place. You know I’m in.

I’m not sure support is the correct term. The weather did suck for sure.

Shut the Fu(<cancer up. You’ve been in this hole before and came out swinging. You will drive again.

An overpriced track car.

He won’t care. In the world he lives in the reality is totally different and he did no wrong. He’ll never get it.
