That's it, Sunday(barring rain) is breakout day! Literally, I had water seeping in under the garage door this winter so in frustration I sealed the bottom with that expanding foam stuff, kept the water out but the door is basically glued tight. So I'm gonna saw my way out, replace the rubber seal and kick off another Vette season

I hope it holds up. Racing The Real Hoopties of NJ this weekend at NJMP. I can live with some cool weather, but rain would make things unpleasant. (24Hours of LeMons race for the uninformed)
