Don't laugh. 7-29-83. Many of you weren't here yet, and I waited all my lift at that time to do this!
1'st win ever. Of only two.

 

Hell yeah!

 

making me nervous, can't find a warning for SATX on NOAA?

 

Might just be Pleasanton, we get their alerts too

 

No sir

No “tv” here. May need to get a dvd

 

Well good, and good. Cannot find a red box anywhere by you! So, I am glad for that!

 

You don't have reliable internet either< IIRC?

 

Mine was less than 350 bucks

 

I'll lend you some of my Survivorman DVD's if your want, Les Stroud is a beast

 

That u Kurt

 

At 28 years old, and 80 pounds lighter. Field Service days, long hours, get home by Friday night, get covered in grease and sweat, and try to make the car run. 2 years later, I was all grey haired.

 

Lol , Loved the dirt track my best friend and i were going to get a car each in 80 .We went all the time but it never happened. Kennedale Cowtown speedway.Good old days.

 

Cowtown was a famous place back then! Growing up, Dad and I went to see just about everything, everywhere. Stockers, late models on dirt and asphalt, Mods, and winged mods on dirt and asphalt, midgets, super midgets, you name it. I would get a MARC Times (local paper mag) while downtown biking from work or on a comics run, and we would see who was running where, make some plans, and often hit two tracks a week all over lower Michigan and Northern Indiana. sometimes further. I knew I had to do it, at least once.

Oh yeah - fire suits were only required for Late Model boys in this pic, though many in my class had them.

 

Kick myself in the ass for not doing it
Oh well little to late .

 

This one did!

 

Wife to be tuned the carb tuner after I fired the ex-roommate mechanic. It was low budget, but cost $6,600 to earn $600 that year. Next year, if we're going to be getting married, "you going to live in a race car, or a house?"
Fake sponsor name got painted over with "For Sale", and promptly ran it into turn1 wall at Austin Speedorama at full speed. Throttle got stuck when the pedal got caught in the trans safety plate. Instant Kit Car. Traded it to my fake sponsor for an old Dodge PU that didn't work either! Big Time!

 

Saw that one as a kid tear up Galesburg Motor Speedway (Mich). Little 3/8mile track! When he did his front straight burn out, we could not see for minutes. then he appeared at the turn 2 pit opening when the smoke cleared, and did it again. WE LOVED IT!
