What are you doing with the money your not spending racing
 

So with no racing going on. What are you doing with the money and time you would have spent going to races? I have my car at Papa Frank Tantilo's getting some projects done that I never seem to have the time to get done on my own. We are looking for those last several Hun's. Barry

Experimenting with new margarita recipes.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, I DO like my tequila! You'll have to ask Yac about an afternoon spent drinking margaritas at Byron Dragway once.

Paying medical copays :eek:

Collecting new parts for the car for backups. New batteries for motorhome start and house batteries. The best batteries from motorhome will be assigned to the stacker. Motorhome takes eight group 31, four for starting, four for the house.

Has anyone figured out a way to prepay this years and next years fuel bill at today's Diesel prices?

It's still just a regular off-season in the north. Was nice enough to be racing yesterday, and watching the snow fall today.

It seems like no matter what, the money continues to go out at very fast pace. New batteries for the motorhome, changed from 8D 12v batteries to Trojan 6V batteries. Autumn bought some new heads for next season and we're looking at manifolds now. We did save some dough because my wife and I had to cancel a 3 week vacation which made her about as happy as if they were to cancel race season.

Saving it for something more important than racing

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

TP? Anyone who had much in their 401K is saying “what money?”

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

Last few years my front lawn has turned to moss. I like it, don't have to cut it and its green. Wife wants grass, so hand raked the moss out of the front third of the yard (about 150 by 50 ft.) and dumped it, spread a bunch of lime, fertilizer, grass seed, and straw. Now watching it 'grow' . New set of headers or paint job would have been cheaper and less work!

If not racing is the trick, Papa Frank ought to have millions tucked away by now. ;-)

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

Well Mark if there is an Indy are you going to join us? I will provide tickets and food. You just have to get there. We have plenty of room. BP

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

Mark: You can ride out with me!

Hoping to bring 4 of our Mopars!

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

I wish that was the case, I’m lucky to still be working my main job which pays the main bills but, my last day at my PT job was March 15th. That normally was my play money and racing fund. I know if we go back racing today it will be very local trips for me and from the sounds of what I heard yesterday from our Governor, it doesn’t sound very good for New Jersey getting back to normal anytime soon.

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

Well, there you go... One thing I learned in all these years, is to never say never ;-)

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

How many guys are laid off or out of work in general and don't have money to spend?

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

Steve I own a Restaurant. It's still open and I have keep all my employee's but we are empty most of the time. But when it comes to spending money on my race car my wife will have to not eat. Sorry honey. I need a new set of tires. BP

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

If we are able to go would love to see you out there. Never put off til tomorrow what you should do today. We will have a ticket and more than enough food. It would be a treat listening to you and Frank. LOL Barry

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

I might just take you up on that Barry....It’s quite a long drive for me but.....

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

We had a phone call yesterday from our new engine builder. We wernt going to say anything,but we are soooo excited!! First pull on the dyno and they got 487 hp and 498 ft lbs torque and that's with a set of dyno 1 3/4 inch headers. We are driving out now with our tri-y headers and 2 carbs to tune more!! We will be there tomorrow night and will be ready for them to squeeze a few more HP out of our 255hp 350!!

Re: What are you doing with the money your not spending raci
 

Do what I'm doing get some barrels and fill them up! LOL I think diesel would store well in those 1000L Plastic Totes. They use them for all sorts of things from vegetable oil to washer fluid and you can buy them cheap.

Of course what I am doing with my time off is,,,,,DREAMING!!
