When do you guys head south anyway?

I'm just about ready to go racing in Edmonton this weekend. Just need to rebuild shocks and do some chassis tuning and they'll be ready to rip.

Ended up turning your old cyclone into a Vintage Trans Am car Perry. Shelby Mustang GT350 body and crager 5 spoke wheels. Looks pretty cool.

And everyone can learn from my painting mistakes. After you put your first coat of yellow paint on with a spray bomb, very lightly and carefully of course. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT grab the can of black instead. Fortunately I was going for a beat up old race car look. Either way, worst paintjob ever.

We fly out on Feb 21 and back home on the 28th. Make a week of it in the heat! Were just getting the tickets while they are at a really nice price.

Well Greg at least it's going to get used, You'll probably turn more laps in on weekend than that car has turned in it's whole life.

Nah, just been spending time working on the 1:1 and racing it (okay, it was only once, but still...)

The new job fWONked with my schedule for awhile... Now that I've got most of my road tripping out of my system, I can settle in for more weekends at home
