Absolutely! I saw another funny sign combination on my way home. Next to the hospital in Hudson, a music store had this sign in their window:

USED ORGAN SALE

Good to see everyone. I do plan to put the tires and wheels to good use. They are now in my basement waiting to be mounted and balanced. Thanks Slinger.

It would be funny if the Juke and my Toaster (xB) were to show up at the track as a prank...

Guys, have you all decided on your first track day?

How about a potential get together sometime late April. Am planning to be around at that time. After tax day.

Sounds good. I'll have a wedding I'll be attending the weekend of the 21st, in MD. The next weekend is TM's opening weekend and if the car is ready I may try for that event.

The replacement rack came a couple days ago and I think the car will be flat bedded up to Greg's next weekend.

I think Greg's race MINI is still for sale...that is one sweet looking MINI, but not even close to being street legal. Would have to get a trailer. Hope this link works:

Nope......it was sold finally. I go up to his house tomorrow for the farewell get together of people that had a significant role in his project. I was not one of them but was invited....

The new owner will be there and will leave for FL the next day with it.

From my perspective it is one less temptation. Let us know what you can find out about the new owner. Are you sure it's going to Florida, and not Hawaii?

Nothing planned untill later in the summer. Maybe TM in mid summer for the novice group. Good way to get a feel for the new car.

I do plan to volunteer at the Patroons 4/20 date and will see if they will look at my video. I want to see if they think I could have done anything differently.

Eddie, looks like the need for speed is still there. TM is a great school as you know.

I am staying away from the tracks and will meet up with you track maniacs in Tivoli.
