My buddy came over, and we did a bunch of work on our racetrack camper. While the weather was nice, I decided to swap my spring-fall wheels on. Oh man, that 1/2" battery powered impact gun is a game changer! My 5-year old put the center caps on for me, with minimal help. I hate doing that job, so that was a dollar well spent :)

I’ll get RallyMetro pics tomorrow. We were racing to get done before dinner.

We made really good progress on the camper! The electrical is done, and most of the paneling is too.

I’ll be honest, from the small picture on the main page I thought it was one of those weird crying kids they put against cars at shows....

No plans to at this time, but it’s not out of the question. Closest we’ll probably get this year, is Indy for the 500.

Hmmmmm. I want to drive the car because race car crap can that allows me to drive it hard and it will be okay

Me too, nobody does it where I live but I’m glad it’s not the case!

That freak storm missed us. Besides, they’re all seasons, so I’ll be fine. They don’t really make “summer” tires in size 245/70/17, nor could my slow lumbering pickemup truck really do anything with them.

Well, if you come to up here for a rallycross or the Gambler 500, I’ll let you give it a romp :)

Unfortunately some people do still do it around here. I also hate all the stupid signs people put in front of their cars.

I’m in Chicagoland. The Illinois Gambler 500 will be in central Illinois this year, last weekend in September.

I just don’t want to shell out another chunk of change for tires yet :)

I already had these waiting in the shed. I didn’t put my All Seasons on last year until June, because I knew I couldn’t get a 7th winter out of them, so I figured I may as well use them up.

I love the two-piece hood on that era of Ford truck, but the last time I was in one, it had the fuel tank behind the seat and Vlad the Impaler steering wheel and it just seemed like a suitable place to die.
