Well after a busy last 4 years of getting married and building a new house, I finally have the time to go racing again. Last Sunday I started pulling the heads off the GTX and give the motor a once over. Everything looks like new, so a new set of head gaskets, fresh oil, filter, plugs and some charging of the batteries the GTX fired up today. Only thing I could find wrong was some loose oil pan bolts causing a leak. All tight now, and should be good to go. We are heading to Brainerd for the Show N Go this coming weekend. Going to fun pulling the gears again.  Anyone going to Brainerd, stop by and say hello. Jeff

Good to see you are going to make it Matt. What class are you going to run? Want me to bring that cam with???
Fred, I can't believe it either but I found the last time slip. Sept 2, 2007...
Steff, no updated pics. Looks the exact same, just with more scratches, and dings. Car is really showing it's age now, and needs new paint.
Dave, my buddies daughter is going to school in Moorhead next fall, and I'm willing to bet we will be racing up your way the next few years.
Been a long time. Looking forward to seeing old friends again, and meeting new ones. That's my favorite part of race weekends.
