This day finally came:



Winter SUCKS. At least I got all the Vette housekeeping stuff done before the rain and the cold come, like, tomorrow.

Well, you can read about the NY/NJ events going on during the winter.
Raceway Park is closed till February, but Atco is still open. Hope to get some runs on both cars before the end of the year.

Yep here in the great white north mine has been sitting in the house garage waiting for me to finish the floor in its winter home (the detached shop) . Probably won't be able to rip through the gears for at least 4 months . When I was younger I use to look forward to this winter stuff, now I sit and dream about southern weather warm days top off and golf courses in the winter .
