Found front tire rim

Chuck Haines called the other day to let me know he found a front tire rim.  This is a replacement for the bent rain tire rim I discovered at Road America last year. Going to take a close look at the other 3 rims before ordering it, really want to make sure the other 3 are good.

Did someone say more snow?

Maybe another 6" inches today.  With the antique show coming up next week, I have to keep all the areas open to load the truck.  Very glad I purchased a snow-blower many years ago.  Folks who have their driveway plowed are being buried in snow banks.
As far as Mosport goes this year, the last hurtle is to re-register the truck non-commercial. That's the only practical way to cross the border into Canada.
If you don't have to deal with it, it's quite pretty.

More snow

It's hard to think about racing when the forecast is for 12-16 inches of snow.
On a more interesting note.  Tony Adamowicz has been chosen to be the Grand Marshall for the Desert Classic Concours "Sunday February 23, 2014.

Race schedule update

The one other event I was considering was Pocono.  The Pocono schedule shows them using a different road course than I drove back in the day, which eliminates the first oval turn on the banking.  I  don't find the new road course very challenging in a F5000 car. So Pocono is off the list.
Other than that, no news to report.  Just dealing with the weather like everyone else.

Another snowy day

 The snow blower is getting a good workout this winter with another 4-8 inches of snow happening today.
We have a antique show coming up in a couple of weeks, so I think race car time will come in March.   Here's a link to the event up in Canada that we're thinking about attending.

Also 2 weeks later at the same track is a new event.  Don't know much about, Eric had sent me the info on it.  We'll keep a eye on it's progress.
