I don't know many of you expect for here on the board, but hope to meet you if and when I ever get my LSR program started. I have a vision of a dragster style Lakester with anywhere from "H" to "AA" for power. And as you will soon read, I will soon have a place in which to build such a project. As some of you know, I retired at the end of this past April. I've spent the time going through all my crap deciding what to keep and what to throw away. I've also been contemplating a move to somewhere other than SoCal. I was thinking about the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest, as I have friends and family in both areas. Well, 3 weeks ago I hauled the race car trailer loaded with things that can handle the heat over to New Mexico. Then I started looking for a house and found a really nice place about 1/2 a mile from my mothers place in Los Lunas (~20 miles south of Albuquerque). We are scheduled to close by the end of August. Some of the basics are: 1 acre (about half in grass, I think there's a riding mower in my future), 2000 sq ft, 4 bdrm, 2 bath, and those of you that are racing folks can start drooling now, there's a 40x30 shop in the back.
I'm presently back in California to finish packing and to take care of a few things, but will be leaving for good by August 22, 2012.
Here are pictures of the new place:
