I didn't know you had two feet of snow, hope your driveways not too long!

It wasn't 2 feet more like 8 inches the wind blew the snow in and landed in the driveway to create 2 feet.
It's like powder so not bad and driveway is about 60 feet long so no big deal.

Ray just wondering how the electronics hold up when they are that old, leaky or depends on storage or brand? Looks like about 30 there, what did that run you if you don't mind me asking.

Points and condesers. Points are fine cond maybe 10% chance of failing. I test them. Over 300 but hard to find them NOS

Never got into boxing much but a friend of mines Cousin was a big time boxer and it killed him so he made a movie about boxing and what happens behind the scene.

I have lapeer bout a hour away which isn't bad, I LOVE Milan but that's like 2 hours from me now..we had one named Ubly near me but i don't think it's around anymore, that was the last track i drove down, been like 14 years now in my C5

I wish i could figure out how people afford to race.. i work 70 hours a week and barely get by.. a better job would probably help :)

That track is 20 minutes from my place. And under new ownership. They’ve spent the winter making major improvements

My understanding is most of that remains. But they took the dip out and installed better retaining walls and fixed the seeping and flooding issues. They open next weekend
