    Okay, I need some motivation. I want to get the BB to Fabulous Fords in 2013.

    So start kicking me in the ass until I get it done. I think I'll finely get the Docs release on the 19th.

    If I showed pictures of the current condition of BB, it would make the most hardened shed a tear.

    Get your ass in gear dammitt!! We'll be sure to kick you in the arse when we are out there next weekend.

    You better find a way to Sturgis as well. We may have an extra car or two to be driven from Seattle next year if you are not bringing one of your own.
    There's nothing more to see here, now move along...

    Dear Bob...Although by no means a great representation of an SVO on the race track...it is an SVO on the race track non the less. You know what...it's not even baby/powder blue! OK...Ford racing blue...whatever




    http://youtu.be/yj6sJHuCs7U

    Here are my suggestions that I am more than willing to step up to. Call it, "Pay it forward...or would that be backward?"

    Prior to the 2013 Knotts show we do a pilgrimage to Bob's place (or where ever the car is) for a couple of days and get that thing ready. I can kill two birds with one stone with this trip. We can get that blue turd ready for the track and show and I'll bring Diana, you can put her to work at the horse stables and get any notion of her wanting a horse out of her system!

    Or, a couple of days prior to Knotts, you come down, we setup shop at my place and we get that thing ready for the track and the show. I'm sure we can get plenty of help.
    I have the second...make that the first best 2.3t race car. Bob has...had the best one...Bob...when is the last time yours was on the track...lets race for Pinks! I'll be at Buttonwillow in September!

    Then take the car & horse back home after Knotts.
    Fixed.

    Mike, I knew there was a reason that I got along with you.

    Vince: We should talk. Exposing your wife to a horse farm could do more harm than good. She might like it!!

    I'm probably more inclined to haul the thing to your house and finish it there, if it came to that.

    Thanks for the offer.

    It works, just need more power. Only getting 220ish at the wheels plus some exhaust leak issues. Common Bob...we can get that blue bitch working. I really need to return the favor(s). Just tell me when and where and I'll be there.

    On your car, I thought you had a more powerful engine on a stand. ??

    OK add another goal for the BB next racing season...NASA Nationals. They are bringing it back to Miller Motorsports Park, which is east of the Rockies. As much as I'd like to go to Mid-Ohio, that's too long of a pull for this guy.

    So...MMP will be the venue for 2013 and 2014. We have to get it there and give it a whirl. I may not drive, but the car needs to make it.

    Then I'll sell the damn thing and get on with my Bonneville itch!!
