Well Sat a few of us did end up at the track. Jon S., Dave S, Lon Sr, and myself got the P.A. set and the speakers working. Jon also got the lawn mowed so its looking pretty good. We do need to still cut back the grapes a bit to make mowing easier.

We then worked on cars. I was working on the Capricorn, while Jon was working on his new Xray. Marvin showed up in time to help Jon gets his motor tuned. Jon ran maybe two tanks of fuel through his car and called it done. Even with the lack of grip since we didn't prep the track at all him running his car around really got the blood pumping! I can't wait!

Meth. should be dropped off this week and this sat weather permiting the flappers should be built and installed and then a base coat of spray will be put on the surface.

Although I can't be up north often, I'd love to be able to race F1 outdoors some this summer!! Got to run last year with Brad and Dish, maybe we can do it again....

I'll be up for the first race, 4-22, if anyone is interested!

Sounds like a few of us will be at the track today around 1pm. Matt bring your car and fresh motor. I will be happy to keep leaning it out for you. No one can turn a screw clockwise faster or further than the II.

As for the Capricorn I stayed with Bill McLEAN in FL and pitted with Bill on my left and Ted infront of me. I guess the fancy red parts grew on me.
