I’m speechless about racing at the moment…    😎 😎 😎   yeah right, I am rarely speechless!!!!

I have a lot of work to do to my rig before I can go race again…

I mean.. I guess that depends on how good it needs to look??  Mechanically speaking… it just needs a drivers side spring plate, I have the thinnest plates ever on my car!!!  I think I should change both sides, Ovals plates are pretty thick…     I can hear 90% of you now….  😎 😎 “Buy sway away’s” 😎 😎  I thought about that… would make life easier on my shocks I bet…

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

So crazy. Glad you guys are okay. That short course racing is intense! In a different way from the long distance stuff… Glad you are still looking forward! Can’t stop the JJ train

I’m gonna porta power that shit out this weekend….  Get them shitty ass fenders off, and get down to the good stuff… 😎 😎 😎  I’m going to Primm next month…. 😎 😎 😎  This 1131 car is not quite done just yet…. 😎 😎

I’m gonna start towing my car with my truck… I am retiring the pamper from full towing duty… it’s too fucking hard on my shit…  I can tell my trans and reducs are worn out again…

That is a lot of weight going through that ass end… your big motor already puts strain on a trans that was built for a 1600 or smaller… you just need to figure out a camping solution. Fold down captains chairs up front like we talked about. Or a camper for the bed. A Go Fast Camper would be cool. Wedge style bed like a late westy on top. But still Gives you access to the truck bed. So you can put tools and parts and get to your tanks haha and they’re light.

Look for a used toy hauler camper trailer, something like this?

Pick up something like this to pull the race car. Don’t beat up the dually driving it out in the desert.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/993044274631417/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A2b75edbc-c4dd-41fb-b0a1-faf2ecd687f6

Or maybe an old school bus. Open up the back for a roll up door and close up the front and create a camper. Plenty of extra room for some motorcycles to cruise around on once you set up camp.

And this guy would trade. Wonder if he has a VW he would like fixed up.

It seemed reasonable – it was $8k.  Here’s another $8k in Colorado.  How many trans/reduc rebuilds does $8k cover?

These are all over Colorado Pete, but most of them are too narrow to fit a VW. A Razor or similar just barely fits.

I’m just gonna have to accept my brokeness  😎  More than likely… I am trying to compete in a sport over my head financially…  Part of the justification of racing is promoting KCW… KCW is my only REAL sponsor, and the only reason I am able to race… So thank you KCW!!!  Which is why we post about it and hype it up…

But regardless off all that..  I worked on my shit yesterday.. Got the ugly ness off my car.. and pushed that door open.. I need to try and push the fender bolts holes back into place and cut that 1/4 off I guess..

Things went well for the 1131 car this weekend..  Got most the ugly off it… Pushed that 1/4 out pretty well… I think it will live again!! and see more racing time too!!  Also we figured out it’s not my spring plate thats bent… it the damn axle tube again!!!!  Were gonna have to do something to beef them bitches up!!!! Darnit!!!  I say we do whatever we have to including running some Secondary extra shock mounts on the back of my tubes!!!! 😎  😎  one week point found, on to another one!!

I’m still thinking about an bar coming out of my 1/4 window down to a bar kicked out from the floor bars..????????  Nerf bar!!
