What a CHANGE in preparations!

WOW!!! So we get moved and get to building the race car! Much to his surprise! It's not legal, and worse it's UNSAFE!!! So he spends lots of ours and tons of work cutting the roll cage (that is too thin) out and doing lots of other stuff! By the time we get ready to put another roll cage in, we realize really it is trashed and junk! (Didn't I tell him this last summer and continue saying it until now). Anywho, it's just not safe, and too much needs to be done! So guess what happened? We cut it up, and sold it for scrap metal! yes that is right! All the hours and hard work, right out the door! But as he says, we at least got this piece of junk off the track, and maybe even saved someones life! True, so I will be thankful and stop saying I told you so! (About it being junk)


Then we found a car to buy! And it arrived this past weekend home!!! And just look how happy the girls were in there!!!



Who am I kidding? Daddy was SO HAPPY!!!!! Like a kid in a candy store! I don't think we could have busted or deflated the cloud he was flying high on!!!!


NO that isn't our number, and sure isn't our color! But that's the car! We talked about trading the body out, but we are going to wait and just straighten this one up and paint it.


It's not the prettiest, but it's much safer and a lot closer to race day than we were!!! So everyone is happy now!

so keep racin' until next time

Finishing up to move to the new home.....

Was a busy week, last week, busting butt to finish getting the car in shape to move to our new locations! Our family is moving, and we had to get the car ready to move with us! It was tons of work, many hours!!!! And the drama never stopped!!!















It was move day (Sat Jan 22), and ran into a ton of trouble even getting the car loaded! It was a JOB!!!








Finally a couple of hours later, the car is loaded and it's time to load up the house!!!!








Then it was time to head to the new home!!! We will get back to working on the race car to get it ready!!!! We are so excited!!!!


until next time..........

Catching Up!

After everything that was going on in our personal life, we haven't finally gotten really busy back on the car! The motor is off at the motor builder. And we have been hard at work!! Super busy cutting off the bad body and adding on the new one.





James and our main crew member, Scott, have been busting butt!!!! We are all getting really excited about race season!!!!


Even down the fun part now.... Deciding between these schemes for the car.... No matter, the black, purple, and grey and silver stay. We are torn on the design.



Until next time........
