Welded the turbo exhaust pipe on my nephew's bike again.  It has now been welded 4 times. I am adding an additional support bracket to take some weight off the exhaust. Should do the trick.  Loading up tonight and we leave on Thursday morning. Will be me, nephew Joe and our crew chief (brother in law) John ... anticipate 12 hours to get there from New York. Looking forward to seeing everybody ... Joe

We have all of 40 miles to travel and it's a good thing as the driveshaft just got done today. Car is b/gc firebird and engine is running, still needs chute cables, throttle linkage and a dozen more little things  but we will be there! rookie with a new car. just  going to see if anything falls off first.
 see all of you there.

Don't be afraid to holler at me for help if you need it.   Chances are we will be staggered in line and one of us can help you out.

Folks, it sounds and looks like Max is on his way to the Wilmington meet -- although he might not get there 'til mid-morning or so Saturday.  But whenever he does arrive -- he'll set up and put whatever sounds he can find on the live and streaming audio link here at landracing.com.  Stay tuned - keep an eye open on this Forum and on the home page where the link is found.

Nancy and I will be at the Gas-Up at the Mendenhall Museum in Buellton, CA, where landracing.com is being inducted into the Dry Lakes Racer Hall of Fame - - as the Historian for this year.  The history?  All of the photos and stories and articles and that stuff that YOU contribute.  Thanks a bunch, folks, and listen to the streaming audio from W'ton.  Be safe, you hear me?
