What are you doing with the money your not spending racing - Page 2

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

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

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. ;-)
