Wrenching was limited to rotating tires, leaning the motor, replacing a bumper, and changing to a smaller spur gear. Oh, walking the car to the air compressor.

I think we might finally have enough interest here in LA to have a class next year. Rumor has it the nats might happen here, maybe a pan class will happen....
It's going to be a long midwest winter...
