Happy New Year

 

Days of old

 Yep, having a picnic on the side of a race track. Looks to be a Formula Ford going by.  No guard rails and lots of trees. Got to love the 60's

Merry Christmas

F5000 2021 race season

 

Just starting to work on the car.  Hoping for a race season next year.

Happy Thanksgiving

There's always next year.

Yep, no racing this year.  Not even close. 

I spent a life time of doing things myself, but I'm getting older and the ability to juggle cars, houses, rentals and maintenance is becoming more difficult. There really is no time for racing, that needs to be changed.  Hope to come up with a solution this winter.

I still like racing the f5000 car, but with the exception of the Monterey(45 cars), the're lucky to even get 10 cars at other events this year.  Maybe it's time to change cars?  One more thing to think about.

Summer update

We'll as you can see, I've done no racing.  Some years you have time and some you don't.   I do hope to get to Watkins Glen in September.  The only thing the car needs is to drop the oil sump pan and replace the gasket to stop the small leak.

Axle clearance update

This was a problem for the last couple of years.  The fix was to lengthen the left wheelbase by 1/2 inch.  There was no contact in any of the races in 2018.  I would say it's fixed.
