MA Live

[Papa V Racing]

Well it is 11:30 pm and I get up in a few hours to finish packing up lunch and kids... I just spent all this time in the basement getting axles and wheel prep on my oldest boys car.. Arghhhh... Hope they dont look to hard .. Graphite everywhere.. I got the wheels cleaned on the outside and wipe down the best I could on the inside.. Burnishing axles is an art I see.... I finally have a clue of what it is suppose to look like,, Now to get it to that point.. Set it for 4 foot 4" ... Need to get a test track...

MOFAST you will not be the only slow one out there .. We might be right behind you... Hang in there Bro .. SEE YOU ALL tomorrow...

Travel safe and be aware I heard 60 mile an hour winds... Zeeb got a weather report for us???

Here live, well almost. Breakfast and then of to the track. See you guys there that are going to be live. Ran into Zeeb, Goat and E3 last night. Got some tuning in with the bearing car, found a little speed. Not quite there yet with the big dogs but I'm off the porch.

It was good to see a lot of you guys live. I may have missed one or two of you guys. But to those I spoke with I enjoyed meeting you guys. Same time same place next year?

Greg:

Outside activities were a hit from what my boys told me ... HAHAHAHA!!!

Ah the joys of watching all the boys run around like crazy mad men...

OK... My boys and several others after the PreLims decided to hit the dumpster... Yup these boys all dumpster dove and brought out the Pizza Boxes to sled down the great big Hill out side.... Greg my oldest said the boxes were all put back into the trash... Not sure how many kids were out there but they had several... I know of one little one that was taken down by another one in the first ever Pizza Box Hill Sledding @ CLASS...

So guess what this ole guy is doing next year... YUP!!! I gonna bring the some of those snow sleds the nice plastic ones.. I bet we can get Goat, Zeeb and a few others to hit the hill to show those boys how it is really done ...

It was a blast and again we got to meet the guys and hang out and watch the races...

I think the pinewood inspired them. They started out rolling with out pizza boxes. Good to see the kids having some old fashioned fun, being creative and working things out themselves. The grass on the clothes was the tell tell sign they had been on the hill.....
