Up tonight is Sonoma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3DvoWJZFlw Race 5 summary: Daytona yielded an OK result, not a great result. I lost some time in the early going as I was dodging spinning cars, then I got stuck in a pack with 2 guys who were not fast but fast enough to use the draft to get ahe...

Draft heavy and fast, should be a fun one to watch.

Very interesting site - might come in handy if you ever come across some old hand tools and want to know who made them and when

Not much activity the past couple weeks. The main progress is acquiring a frame machine. Started doing research on this machine. It appears to be a very early version, and it is missing chain, and the cross brace tube. IMG_0330.JPG IMG_0286.JPG I now understand the basics of what chain to get, I hav...

If that fails that entire bracket needs redesigned. If you look closely there is a mark just at left of photo. If that bracket went strai...

I didn’t think to photograph the hole but Scott had this view of the inside. Bonus pic is the CPS bracket right after it cracked

Mosport is one of my favorite tracks - similar to Nelson in that it has a lot of high speed corners and is easy on brakes. Once again I messed up laps 3 and 4 of qualifying and ended up P29 of 30 on the grid. The tires don't really come in well until lap 3 so pretty much missed my best two chances f...

This uncovered a bunch of small messes - a ketchup packet that got to the inner cavity of the console and blew up, several dollars of change, residue from a giant spill of a red drink (?Code Red Mountain ...

Mid Ohio was a decent race. Didn't put in a lot of practice - felt pretty quick but made a couple mistakes on qualifying laps and only managed P24 of 28 cars. I only recall making one on track pass for position, but was able to save fuel and this paid off as I had the fastest pit stop of anyone in t...
