It's a great feeling when a vehicle purchase goes much better than anticipated rather than the other way around.

BP: I have fantasized about the manual conversion, but it's not to be. Randi can drive a stick, but does not like to do it. Too much anxiety. She likes driving the TBSS and makes it easy for us to interchange vehicles. Also, I am not up for such a major project. I'll stick to building engines w/Mave...

Don't forget to take your camera. We need pictures.

It's a tall order to push "Little Jimmy Dickens" to shave off 8.5 tenths, but wouldn't a 13 second run impress the troops?

Very impressive! And it's just your starting point!

I have a few of my own photos to complete the bigger picture of our get-together at Spring Carlisle this year. On Thursday, the weather held off and we were able to spend a long day patrolling the fairgrounds. When we got up Friday morning it was already raining, but we decided to go anyway. It turn...

Super Cool, Jim!!

I'm packing, too. See ya there. Woo Hoo!!
