Morning mopar maniacs!
Snow didnt seem to amount to much. I think it all drifted.
Schools closed.
Dog wanted out at midnight, didnt bark to come in all night.
Maybe too warm in the house?
Dunno.

Mine was like that until a few years ago. Wanted to go out at midnight and watch. In the winter the same if not more so. Watch what? Anything that might come along. If it was below 20-25 F I didn't like leaving her out while I was sleeping but other than that didn't worry about her.

I do the same, zero hopes of winning anything as it is clearly a track car, I enter it just to show folks there's is a whole other side to the hobby. If a kid shows interest I always let him sit in the car strap in the harness and pose for a photo. I mean really, what can they tear up? Toggle switch dash and a racing seat! And you never know that kid might just develop a passion for our hobby.

That's really awsome.

That exact statement was given to my son at Road America for the classics races a bunch of years ago. He got to sit in the Nicky Chevrolet Can Am car. The guy also asked if he wanted to ride in it through the paddock out to the starting line the next day. Unfortunately we couldn't attend that day. He said to us "He is our hobby's future...maybe this will spark interest in the hobby..."

That too is really awsome.
The only show I go to most years is the Thanksgiving Frostbite rally. I've posted pics of that in the past.

It’s not the farthest I’ve gone for parts just riding in a truck will be fun that far today lol

Not your truck? Roadtrip!!!!!
Drove to Montana one time looking for parts. Montana NJ that is.

Place was called Kobers. Place was well hidden - over an hour to get there and we werent that far by the crow the flies. All small windy roads. Up on hillside with trees growing through cars from all decades - except the maybe the lasts - 80s then. Gone now.

Well I hope they're good parts. I drove to Oregon once for a hood for my sons Firebird, that's 5 hours or so.

Hey I drove NJ to Chambersberg for rusty barracuda. Those housemates were good for that. Not quite as crazy as when I bought the current barracuda - 10 hours back from Detroit in a car that wouldnt get out of its own way. Got some quality time with dad, so it wasnt a bad trip at all.
