Hope to go by the store to pick up my replacement rear shock tower that I broke. Maybe a spare too. Got the bug to polish all my pipes.

BLING-BLING

I miss racing yesterday. I so wanted to see if my car would handle the same since the last race or if I was just lucky.

Feeling much better, still can't eat much, get full fast. I wonder how long that is gooing too last. Loose weight.

Needed to do something and the pipe looked pretty grungy. Track was fun and had some good speed section.

Did you know you would get these after symptoms? That's pretty rough.

Didn't make it to the store yet. I'm assuming we're running drags this weekend so better start thinking of that. Got some things to try.

I think the Drag Championship is tentative for the 2nd weekend in November. Not sure if it'll be day or night. Last year it was during the day.

Weak battery, bad ground, bad positive cable, etc. You know, like computers, sometime you just gotta jiggle the cable to reseat the contact.

I have a trolley jack if you're interested. Its small, comes in plastic case. Used it on my 89 truck. But it didn't have enough lift for a 4 wheel drive, had to put a block on saddle. Might be enough for your Volvo. Let me know.

Oh yeah, new car

That's how much I know after years of working at service stations and garages. My first thought was, "What the hell is a trolley jack?". I've never heard of that. Duh...it's a floor jack. Learn something new every day.

Forgot about the LV Drags this weekend. That means no RC drags this weekend. Gives me time to work on my broken road car.
