I moved from an area where a 1/2 dozen of us drag raced. We’d work on our cars at a friends farm shop and it was a lot of fun times. Plenty of beer and we actually got a lot of stuff done….. but then we moved. For the last 25 years it’s been me myself and I. No real car guy or racing friends. Despite working on cars all day I still seem to get things done on the car when needed. Hard to get motivated at times, but once I’m at it there’s been plenty of “oh crap it’s 2am and I gotta work tomorrow” moments.
