What's New in 2010......on the positive side? - Page 3

Jeff Lee · 01-01-2010, 10:38 PM

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.

We have relocated our business and home to a new location in Cornelius, N.C. Very excited already with the initial response from new and old customers. Look forward to a great new future and life!! Cornelius is located 10 mins. south of Mooresville and 20 mins. north of Charlotte on Lake Norman. If anyone in the area , do stop in and say Hey. Very easy to get to, right off Exit 28 on Rt. 77.

In 2010, the team of Guest & Rinehart will hit the track for its 18th consecutive year of racing!

Hopefully I will figure the tuneup out on my new car. Has anyone seen a contingency posting for IHRA or NHRA. Might have time to add or replace stickers.

Doug Blackley · 01-04-2010, 10:42 PM

We will hopefully be out racing with and seeing more of our D1 friends than last season.

I'll have my new motor together in about 2 weeks. The car should be ready to go the first week of Feb.

Marc Kinton · 01-05-2010, 09:19 AM

I'm very excited and ready for 2010! I will be racing stock eliminator in division 9 with a '88 thunderbird turbo. Slow but oh so much fun to watch in the mirror as people are coming for ya. Will no longer be in the staging lanes at the Nitro Jam events, I have a new job working the safety team at the top end of ALL the Nationals. All my old friends and hopefully some new ones will just have to take an extra minute after the turn to say hello. This has always been my dream and 2010 is bringing it to a reality. Can't wait, see you guys at Palm Beach!

Turning my 69 chevelle that I've had since 1973 into a stocker. Going to run some Heartland S\SS races and some local points races.I have had alot of help from some of the Heartland guys. Alot of thanks (or blame) goes to Joe Veronda who has shared everything he's learned getting started in stock the last few years.

Keith Bennett · 01-07-2010, 12:35 AM

I am working hard to hopefully finish my 2 1/2 year project of building my first stocker. It is a '69 Camaro AA/S, or A/S. We are trying to have it out for the February NHRA Div 2 Bradenton race.
