Home Racing World

Another week in the ye olde books. Not much new to talk about but did make progress on a couple projects.

Hopefully I can get my modified Vega on the track this weekend. May not finish it, but at least some tuning before the paint booth.

I have some special cars that just arrived and will tune them as well. Nothing that special really, just a fun class for around here.

Hope all of you have a great weekend and get a chance to pull the trigger on a slot car or two.

If all the Mod wars cars show up by Noon tomorrow, I will be running them. That will be fun! Otherwise, I will be catching up on some casting, as i am still so far behind on body's. Anyone waiting on vintage coupes and sedans will hopefully be a little closer to getting them.
Shipped out the Pan Am cars today, they are headed to Tennessee for the next leg of the race.
More Rain forecasted for us Saturday, so its Hobby time for sure. (no grass cutting)
Hope you all have a great weekend!

I'mleaving in about an hour for a 5 day backpacking trip on the Lost Coast of northern California. Will be out of touch for a few days.

Recovering from our trip down South 8-) . Working on my RMS 68 Firebird; going to mow the lawn this afternoon and have to work Saturday and Sunday.

Racing's cars at sick puppy archway tonight.late models and jalopy.Sunday I'm displaying my dioramas at a model railroad show in n.h..

Hoping to do some routing on a little test track I'm working on, got to play a little with my McLaren F1 Gulf car last night. Awesome! May try to pull of heading up near Clevland Sunday for the Slot car show but that's a less likely option with Garage work needing done. :(

Shipping pigeons Sat. nite for a 150 mile race Sunday.

My youngest has a science project to do this weekend - should be fun!

Daughter is a high school basketball player for one of the best teams in the country. (A little bragging, they did great this year; undefeated in their league and 26-1 overall, lost in the Southern California Championships to the team that won the state; that team has two girls already signed to go to UConn and there were no seniors on my daughters team. Most of her team is sophomores and freshman).

Son has a tennis tournament this weekend.

I have a tennis tournament this weekend and the Ojai tournament is this weekend (Forest hills of the West). I hope to get there and watch but don't think with the other stuff going on I'll make it.

So all-in-all just another dull weekend here with very little to do. :music-rockout:

I have a number of friends coming in from out of state - looking forward to what should be a great time! :D

A couple of us guys from the NERF club are getting together at ridgeline in Framingham ,ma. Always looking for more racers

Garden day tomorrow...Sunday I'll work on a few chassis builds and test some cars in the basement. I hafta make sure I'm good and slow for next weds races. Wouldn't wanna worry people by getting fast.

I just got back from my road trip with my son, the LT, as he was moving from WPAFB in Dayton, OH to PAFB in Melbourne, FL. We had a great time hanging out, went to a close family friend's wedding in Pigeon Forge, TN on the way, listened to lots of Weird Al, watched lots of Mel Brooks, and got him settled. I really miss having him home and with him getting married in June, I knew it would be a good trip to make. His new apartment is really nice, his goods showed up undamaged, and the base and area is great. We hit RonJons while there too just for giggles.

Have a big hobby order going to Germany to finish (I've got 25/50 kits ready) and some regular (and easier!) orders as well.

I'm cutting down three dead Aspen trees and preparing the area for some new trees I hope to plant next week.

I also did a little video I'll post in a bit.
