Thanks guys!
Copper tape is on the way, hopefully up and running by next week, maybe good enough for the Panamericana race,another reason for the desert theme, watching all those videos that were posted,such good scenery. Especially where the356's come around the corner and uh oh!!! Have a small lake planned and have a wreck end up in there???
Tonight after I get home from work more pics on the barn.

Marty - Love the truck and the barn.

105? I just hugged and kissed my 68 degree basement again.

Hope it cools down!

Ouch Marty 105 is bad enough but that 95% humidity is what gets me.
Have you ever noticed how sticky it gets , but tape wont stick.
Anyway the track is coming along real nice Marty, mimwill have my eye on this one.
All the best

Not only the tape not sticking but after you do in the corners the tape buckles! Even though I do not stretch it it still comes up in places.
My wife calls Jersey a Bi-Polar state!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
And the humidity :angry-tappingfoot: :angry-tappingfoot: And I thought Hawaii had bad humidity???? I ready to go back home to Pahoa Hi miss it dearly!
Coming home from work last night at 5 the temp on the Walgreens read 95!!! Yes working on Sunday, Thank you Amazon for making me work on Sunday!!! I am a carrier for the usps. Thank you Prime members for ordering 2 day and next day package delivery! You are personally funding my track project!!!!!
