Off Again

Nevermind. After looking at the calendar are realizing the December race probably means transporting the car from Salt Lake on Xmas day, my new team understandably had to decline. 

Joe and I are both chomping at the bit and trying to figure out how to get at least one of our cars to Thunder Hill and racing together.

I'm excited to see the Kiel brother's new lemon. It will be fun to have another MK1 MR2 on the track.
Good to hear V-ram is at it again, Andy and I won't be racing this winter (Money)
but we will be back at it in the spring. We put a new/used motor in our car and it's officially
road worthy. It will be interesting to see how well an automatic does Vs a Stick.
Our Team name will be "Knights of the round track" hope to be competing along side you guys in the spring. We will post pics of our toy as we get closer to racing, Good Luck! Bender

Back at it. (12 weeks until race.)

Time to dust of the Beater-Car Blog and start tracking progress toward the 2008 Arse-Freeze.

Our team from the May race has disbanded. Jerry had only ever planned to race once and the Kiel brothers now have their own lemon they are prepping. It's another mk1 MR2 and I know with their mechanical ability it will be a serious contender.

I've rallied a new team. My neighbor Brent and his buddy Mark have been pretty enthusiastic about the project all along. Along with Mark Senior, we have a new team. Welcome aboard guys. Our first meeting is tonight

We've got some residual task from the previos race and several new requirements for Thunder Hill. So lots of work and 12 weeks to do it. October is here and snow has already frosted the peaks above Salt Lake. Working in my driveway is going to be cold and dark in a few more weeks.
