Goodyear decals

Received the Goodyear decals today. Very close, just a tinny bit bigger, but I have to replace both of them so it makes no difference.


We have a antique show this weekend that has kept me busy. Still looking at beginning work on the car in January.

Nose decal replacment

A couple of the decals I have in stock. The "AUTOMOTIVE CHEMICALS" decals I have 9 or so. The big "Justice Bros." decals I have a 2 or 3. I just order the "GOODYEAR" decals on ebay. Out of the red, white and blue long decal. I'll order another 10 feet that next week.

Waiting...

Waiting for the F5000 2011 race schedule. Should be released any day. I was hoping to go back to the Mitty and also to have the Watkins Glen September race added. But from what I have heard from unnamed sources is neither of these events will be on the 2011 schedule. My 2 race schedule just might end up being Watkins Glen in September and a SVRA event in South Jersey. The South Jersey event is about 100 miles from the house, and in October. That's about 850 miles closer than Road America. We'll see.

Lola parts search over???

My Lola parts search just might be over.

Eric, in his travels this past week in search of parts for his Lola T190 has come across not only parts in needs for his car, but parts I need for my car. He found a much needed radiator for me and also a mold for making a new front nose for my Lola T192. Plus various suspension pieces that we both are in need of. So far being patient and waiting has payed off.

Still on schedule to commence work on the car in the beginning of the new year.

Just Business

About the only thing to report is I did receive the paint. Otherwise no work on the car.
We do have a antique show coming up soon and also have been consigning some of our merchandise at a local auction(a total of 3 auctions). This should keep us busy through December.


Did have a chance the other day for a flight. This is Trinca, a grass field airport that's not to far from Hackettstown. It's a short (1800ft) bumpy runway and great place to practice and hone your skills. Lot of fun doing grass landings.
The best way to keep the critters out of the plane is to fly it more often.

November Update

As promised a November update.

I think my big find was on ebay a couple of weeks ago. You know how I go on and on about not having enough gear sets, or just the wrong ones. We'll I purchased a gear set for a very reasonable price, and the best part is it's 2nd gear. This is the ratio I needed, the one that I have now is unusable at any track I go to. So instead of only being able to use 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I will now have 2nd. This will be a big help coming out of some of the slower corners.


As far as getting the radiator repaired, I've showed it to a couple of shops and have gotten the thumbs down. It would be far less expensive to have a new one made. So for now, I'll keep looking for a used one.

Should have the paint this week. The only thing is I have to do all my bodywork outside, no spray booth. So this repair and repaint won't happen until next spring when it's warm. But now I won't have to worry about getting the paint colors I need.

Race schedule.
Still no word on next years F5000 race events. Should hear this month.

I'll continue to search for parts and expecting to be back working on the car in January.
