Who's Going to Epping?
 
With nothing happening on the NHRA side of the house next weekend, who's heading to Epping for the IHRA Nationals?

I have not been to Epping yet, and I really wanted to go this year since the company I now work for is based in Boston, but unfortunately the inside of my car currently looks like this:

So, its still going to be a while before I'm out. I'm still hopeful to be out before the end of the year, but that hope is growing dimmer and dimmer by the day.

Anyway, good luck to all of you, and more importantly, have fun!

I know, I know...pretty lame, huh? But, that's all I got to offer at the moment (well, I do have more pictures, but I wasn't going to bore everyone with all of those...it's bad enough I bore all of you to death with my posts).

Regardless, this is definitely not what I had in mind at the beginning of the racing season (i.e. lots of money spent with not a single pass down the track). I guess on the plus side all of my stuff will be brand new for next year...

Ha ha...yeah, if I spent a little less time typing and a little more time working on my car, it might be finished, right? In this case though, I'm at the mercy of the chassis shop. It's actually coming along well, and they've done a pretty good job of keeping the project moving (of course, so have I by feeding them $$$). Theoretically, they should be starting on the tin work this week. I don't know how long it's going to take them to do it, but there's a LOT of tin work to do. Once that's done the chassis has to be painted, and the tin anodized (anything that isn't already going to be anodized black), and then I have to wire the whole car (that's where less typing and more working will come in handy).

If everything goes well (and I don't run out of money), I could possibly be at the Columbus Sportsnationals, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't skeptical about making that. I'm not giving up hope yet though...

I'm guessing it must be his charm and good looks.... ;)

I haven't met her in person, but she seems like she has a good head on her shoulders too. Brains and beauty??? I'm guessing she's using Asta for his money (I wish I could say my wife was doing the same thing to me!)

GEEEZ......here we go again......zzzzzzzz..........zzzzzzzzz.......here is a good idea maybe if you worked on your car in the winter it would be ready for racing season (like most people)......sounds like a good idea.

Don't push me! You'll force me to write the whole LONG boring story about how I got to this point...

That said, I am guilty of not working on my car as much as I should in the winter. But, let's see how motivated you are to work in your garage with no heat, when it's 20 degrees outside, there's 2 feet of snow on the ground, and you haven't seen the sun in months!

I know....excuses, excuses...Just don't poke the sleeping bear unless you're willing to deal with the LONG consequences...

We've all been there....just get through it....I think the long posts are entertaining.....

Re: Who's Going to Epping?
 
When this snowball got rolling, who knew that it was going to take so long and get so big simply to make my car look like this:

http://oldfieldweb.net/haas.jpg

Funny thing is, I just might be at Epping as a spectator now. If my mid-west sales guy ends up coming into Boston next week for training, I'm going to drive up a day or so early to torture myself at the track. It may be the only drag strip I see this year...

And from here on out I'm going to keep the text portion of my posts short. I figure if a picture is worth a 1,000 words, in most cases I should be able to get away with only one or two pictures in my posts.

Pete - we're headed up there - finally!
Jason - are you going to make your car look like Rock's?? Is it a new car or are you redoing yours? Have been out of touch if these are redundant questions! I like reading your posts - always loved good stories!!
Hope to see you Epping or Columbus!

Did people really think that I didn't have a sense of humor?!?!

Regarding your questions Lynn, at least for now my car will most likely look identical on the outside (aside from getting the car fixed where I got backed into). It's the inside where the car will look considerably different. Not that any of you would notice, but I'm hoping that different = better for the amount of money I've spent so far. In short, it will have a whole new cage that for now will make the car meet SFI 25.5 specs (with the potential to make it easily meet 25.1 specs in the future), all new interior including seat, dash, and tin (the floor in my car was getting bad), and all new wiring (this was the stupid thing that precipitated all of this).

So, in the end I'll have spent a lot of money, and have a car that goes no faster, and looks no different to anyone but me. Perfect...

Lynn, do you need directions? Maybe we'll chain your rig down so you can't leave! We miss your enlightening presence...

Hey Mike, it is going to be a stout field up here. I am eating extra Wheaties every morning this week!
