Vintage Races in Michigan

[Rick1st]

We'll see if the finger crossing has done any good when the mail lady shows up?  Glad to hear you fellows got your tuning done!  If all goes well I'll get some in this afternoon?

Just got in myself. All i can say is WOW this new sled is amazing. I never thought it would go into a corner as hard as it does. Its a slot car. I didnt have to touch a thing. Mr Flannery got the setup almost spot on. Cant wait for saturday!

Good luck guys.  As  Darrell Walltrip says, "LET'S GO RACING BOYS "!

Marion was mentioned, some hub bub about St. Charles rescheduling to their date.  I'm certain it's a great time!

On another note, I can't win for losing!  Flange didn't show up in the mail today so I'm still dead in the water!  Called the "guy" at the dealer in Wisconsin where I purchased it from and stated that I wanted expedited shipping.  He tells me he didn't do 2nd day because it was $22.00!  Holy Moley???  I would have paid it, not problem!  Long story short it isn't looking good for me to race this weekend either!

Bummer Mike! Might as well come on up to Gladwin to watch us!    Heated trailer, coffee, sloppy joes, how can you go wrong?

Ya Marion is a nice big track. You carry alot of speed there. And big, long corners. Also on the back straight you get to pass cars driving along M-66. Last year I passed a Toyota!

One more day before race day. Going to go over the sleds one more time today then load up the trailer for Gladwin. I wish everybody racing a safe race day and have fun. As the guy at Eagle River said, "The race isn't won oon the first lap. We are all friends here". Be careful.

Appreciate the invite Rick 😃!  However if it does show up today we may still have time to get her tuned and ready?  I out the skis in last night, was in the barn till 12:30am!  Not much left other than tuning.  Wrench is keeping his schedule open this afternoon so he can help if the flange shows up!  Hope it all comes together 🍀
