What's New in 2010......on the positive side?

I'm with you Julie, but been out of the driver's seat much longer due to a crash injury. I'm so looking forward to driving my adorable and fun sloooowww stocker this year.
Don't have nightmares sweetie, as soon as you get back in the burn out box everything will come back to you. You may be a little rusty but as long as you're having fun, who cares? Good luck!

Don Little is finishing up my new motor and I'm looking forward to hitting the racetrack again in May when I go to the Boise divisional. I'm hoping my fellow competitors will be easy on me as I'm going to be as rusty as a bucket of old bolts! I have nightmares wondering if I remember how to do a burnout! But my philosophy is "better to have raced and lost than never to have raced at all!" I'll probaby be terrible but I will have fun!!

Supposedly my car will get out of the chassis and engine shop early this year. Somehow I doubt it...
But I do know that when it's done...it will be a killer!

It used to seem like such a long time between the last race of the year and the first race of the next year. Seemed like winter would last forever.

Now it seems that there's hardly enough time in the off season to get even a portion of the things done that I wanted to get done for the new season.

Anyhow, my son and his family were up over the holidays and he got me out into the garage with us working together and I can't believe how much fun we had. Just like old times. Then I realized what the difference was. It's hard to get motivated when it's just you.

Boy, I wish he didn't live 800 miles away. But, he keeps reminding me that it was me that moved away, not him.

Bottom line, it sure is a lot more fun when you have someone to share "working on the race car with". BS'ing and talking abouit how you're going to come out swinging the new season ready to kick some serious butt. That was the element that's been missing and I didn't realize it till now.
