The season opener was quite a night. I wasn’t prepared at all. The full story is on Diary of a Season 2016, on our Message Board.
Things didn’t go so good Saturday night but we got there and that was the main thing. Since then David dug in and really helped his Dad the past few days.
He arranged a nose and fenders for me. They were white, no choice, new ARP were not available and new 5 Star would be over $700 total. I bought paint, David sprayed them, we waited 45 minutes and put the used ones on. They didn’t fit at all. Hood mounts are not close, but my boy did some fabrication work and now it will pass. We have a Frankenstein Late Model, part ARP, part 5 Star. Not the way I wanted to start my 48th season racing but many things just didn’t fall in place for me. Next year I hope to get a much earlier jump on the season.
It goes to Creative Edge for lettering on Tuesday.
I am so thankful we got it back together so it could be lettered for a show we are doing this coming Saturday in Cobourg at Midas Muffler for Quaker State.
David is just awesome and I am truly thankful for his help.
I posted this picture of the car heading to Creative Edge so Steve Lyons can do his magic on it. He has his work cut out for him but I know he will do a great job as always.
More on that soon…..thanks for dropping by.
