Caulked and painted two sides of the house today. Two more sides to go and then I have to paint the trim, rebuild the front porch, paint the inside, replace flooring, and so on and so on

Hobaugh and Pozzi's will be there -- and Charley…. it will be a hoot. I'm home now but leaving again Monday night - and will celebrate Thanksgiving in Carmel… Alex is coming up from Redondo Beach for Turkey day and I have him signed up in Yellow group to drive the Lotus. You'll be missed buddy! Who's going to let the air out of my tires?

Just shut up right now Stuart! I just bought a back up car - and have since spent 10 grand making it right - the '33 is almost finished - and I'm building a new house out of pocket… I don't need your help - or Charley's either, for that matter. He's cost me a small fortune as it is already!

Yeah but your our hero and we live thru you. When your dead the kids just fight over it, wife gets a boyfriend, so your last check should go to the morgue and bounce!!

Wish I could help you out but it sounds like you will be in good hands. Don't get lazy......make adjustments if needed. Heard that track is super slick in the cold. Take some good pic's!!

I would imagine that the track will be cold this time of year. I can deal with that. It's Alex that I'm worried about. The lotus is way more powerful than you would imagine and he'll think he's parnelli jones... We'll have to have a good father son discussion about expectations... Which he will forget all about while still in first gear.

I've been jonesing to get out so bad I've been watching recordings of the last two Continental and Rolex series races from the last season over and over again.

The last two races were at Lime Rock and Laguna. They brought up the fact that Laguna was very slick more than a few times. Make sure that gets embedded into Alexi's head. Some times a wack to the back of the head helps Looking forward to hearing about it

The Rig is sitting quietly waiting to unload the Lotus and the Mustang tomorrow morning.

Thank goodness they let me park the POS at the track when I arrived Wednesday so we could come into Carmel (where we have a hotel and Turkey dinner plans) and enjoy ourselves a bit.

I'm more worried about the Village Idiot staying on track. When you go off here you usually get introduced to a wall.

Going out a stout limb here............

The village idiot was ALEX --- who managed to wad up the Lotus in turn 5…


ME however -- didn't even spin! Not once! And I was running Green group - Not one Black flag either ---- which Hobaugh can't make that claim!! Oh that's a good one I'll save up til later. Right now - I need some coffee and a shower.


HAHAHAHAHAHA


We all had fun today -- the Lotus can be fixed -- it was a beautiful day -- Pozzi's came out to play - Brian and Steve Hobaugh brought the Camaro - Lillard brought out Mayhem - Mike Maier came down to hang… so we got a little socializing in and some driving.

THE MUSTANG MADE A FULL DAY OF REDLINES WITHOUT A HITCH!! Gotta love that!!
