My race car & the snow
 

I planned on working on my race car yesterday. I was going to take the rear apart and it started to snow,
Got sidetracked becasue we recieved 13 inches of snow in Mahopac, NY and then today another 6 inches. Any one else getted bombed with snow while trying to work on their race car, how many inches? The nature of this post must mean I have to much time on my hands during the winter. Already dreaming of my pit space at any drag strip USA.

Joe,you`ll get no sympathy from me. Missed Dean`s party because it`s been snowing for two days. Come on up I have a shovel with your name on it!...lol

joe just make sure u put the right class letter on the window . lol HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Re: My race car & the snow
 

joe:
we lost power for 3 days, got it back and lost it for another day. Then on Friday we got 12 inches of snow. Today we have already gotten 12 inches and still coming down hard!! no race car to work on. Hell, after shoveling my deck 3 times today, I'm too tired for the hot tub. LOL

Many folks are now on their 8th straight day without power ( so I am not complaining) and then this relentless snow on top.

Heading out tomorrow for the 13 hour drive to Dads (VA) with the family loaded up.

Hope you and your family have a safe & happy holidays,
Dean

Joe, Sunny and 60 degrees today in NC. Worked on the Monza today, getting ready to drop a new bullet in for the new year, Our local tracks just closed last week for the holidays , will reopen weekend of Jan.10-11 as long as its above 45. Just take a ride down I-95 when you are ready to test, you'll have a place to stay. That big block will be fast in the air at Fayetteville motorsports Park this time of year. Merry Christmas !! - Joe

Work on Race cars? There's white gold falling from the sky?
Jr. had 32 hours of plowing & sanding in by midnight last night. He got called back out at 7:00am this morning & will be out again till after midnight tonight.
Local news stated that Central Massachusetts got more snow in this 24 hour period than had ever been recorded!
There are members of Central Mass Drag Racers Association in Lunenburg & Rutland that are still without power after 9 days. The utility companies are completely rebuilding the entire system in Northern Worcester County

Re: My race car & the snow
 

I guess everything is relative, woke this am to 22 degrees, and tonight promises to be another cold one, not in beer. Dean wave as you pass by my exit to Dad's, say hello for me. Can not imagine living in Minnesota.

Adam, my back hurts just thinking about your snow storm, Billy what ever class I pick I am sure it will be the wrong one, looking over Nitro;s stats and it will be time to play peek a boo again.

Joseph my friend, I may take you up on it in Feb/March, how far of ride door to door?

At least we did not lose power, just crossed my fingers.....

Re: My race car & the snow
 

10 hr. tow from Mahopac to Wake Forest, halfway point if you are heading to Fla. for Orlando or Gainesville in March.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

Greetings from Minnesota-Snow moved thru yesterday but the wind has stuck around giving us -35 to -45 windchill-was out and blew a foot of snow out of my backyard so I can park my stuff but we haven't lost power for days like out east so I ain't complaining except our Vikings stunk today. This has been a cold December. Merry Christmas everyone!!! Doug Schriener

Re: My race car & the snow
 

I feel for you....I was going to get the GTO out of the trailer and wash it but in this 60 degree cold snap in Southern California.....no way. :) :) :) :)

Re: My race car & the snow
 

Geez Joe, you can actually get to your garage?!? LOL. We ended up with about 18 or so inches by the time it ended today and of course it's all freezing over tonite. Maybe by Wed we will get it cleared to the garage....now if you have heat out there too....lol.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

It is -4 degrees outside right now with plenty of snow in Lower Michigan. Two words come to mind.....Global Warming. LOL.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

Monday am, it is 11 degrees outside and -5 with the wind chill factor. So I decided to take the rockers, push rods and rear gears and soak them in the bath tub. I plan on bringing them outside to freeze, cryogenic for the poor man. Makes sense, give it a try.... Economy is bad, tough times, be creative.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

Joe they are having a New Years Day Race at Richmond Dragway as long as temps are 50 degrees.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

I think global warming has finially hit us!!!!!!!its nasty up here in minnesota

Re: My race car & the snow
 

I feel for you guys... It has been so long since I had even seen snow other than on tv. We have great weather this time of year however we do pay for it in June, July and August when its so stinking hot out you dont want to move at all.

Runnin Old C12 She picked up a couple of feet on the toss! Notice the mailbox on the left.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

It's -40 celcius here in Saskatchewan. Cold enough to freeze the nuts off a jeep. I'm leaving today for sunny Ca. to spend Christmas with my daughter then off to the Aloha state for the new year. Long term forecast for here doesn't look too inviting to come home so I think I'm just gonna wait it out. Race cars and such just aren't that important right now. This old man has to keep his blood from freezing over. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too. My New Years resolution is to say YES!!!!! my stocker will return after more years than I care to count. I'm just screwining together a junk motor for now but it will make noise. Doug

Tpoh 815, that is laugh out loud funny, I almost cryed. This is why I love drag racing- the peoples.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

The 6 to 10 inches we were supposed to get turned into 4"of snow,rain and freezing rain which is now a solid 2" of ice ,along with 20 to 30 mph winds and 0 deg wind chill. ......All is good tho, I finally fired up a customers '69 Z28 restoration. ....I can't take it on the road yet, but that 302 barking thru chambered pipes and the smell of a little VP in the gas makes it easier to take the first real day of Winter!....

Re: My race car & the snow
 

For us its cold here in Southern IL,6 degrees with a strong steady wind. Went up to farm implement this morning to order some parts. Got there and everybody was standing in the parking lot. Seems the heat shut off sometime friday night, nobody stopped by over the weekend to check the building and the pipes in the back of the parts room froze and broke. The parts room looks like a skating rink and they had to bust out the glass front door to get in because all the doors froze shut when the water started coming out. What a mess.

Re: My race car & the snow
 

I live behind the chedder curtain which is Wisconsin for you who didn't know that, but i believe we have somewhere around 46" of snow already,and its COLD! Last night for the emberassing Packer game it was 3-5 below zero, with wind chill of 15-25 degrees below zero! Race cars are on jack stands, race ready! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To all , John & Ginny Lang!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn it's cold

Mikey, that's what the 5th door is for. Plow yourself a tunnel and even if you get stuck, you have an escape hatch!

Re: My race car & the snow
 

Running my snowblower on c-11, took the fuel out of cambria's trailer. He'll never notice it's missing.

Joey D.

You are So right about the Snow.

I had the Pleasure ( yeah right ) of cleaning snow & ice off of 400 cars out on Monday in 0 degree wind chill factor. Of course i had 3 other helpers but it was cold.
We work right down there on the Pier so you get that nice cool breeze off the water. Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Can't wait to be racing in 09 with all of the Div.1 Stockers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL..... you to Gary.....
