An auto repair shop and you race, that sounds like a full schedule in itself. You must have lots of motivation to juggle that. I would love see your shop if I am in Michigan. I don't have any plans to head that way, but you never know.
A new motor is an exciting way to start a season, will you build your own? Or who is your engine builder? My Ricky loved building and tinkering with his, everyone just did their own back then. I can't tell you how many dinners we ate over the motor in the garage. Hot summer day, Ricky in his white beefeater tank, but that is another story. And a good one at that. What two events do you plan on attending, I like to watch for people I know.
