Another year is creeping up and cars aren't done. Maybe by May 1. Anybody else have the same issues?When you have the money flowing you don't have the time. I'm in Asia 4-8 times per year for work and have a 3 and 4 year old boy and building a new house. I have the parts and cars are close but not done or tested yet.

Ok, off my pity pot. It could be worse!

At different times in my life I have had both, had one and not the other, or had neither. Slowly getting to where I have a little of both this year, but gas prices and inflation will have a lot to do with whether I get to race again or not.

I am far from being able to drive my car, I am about 20K short. Just be patient and try to accomplish what you can when you can. Tim

Just about what I would say,except for me is how many events can I afford to go to.I street drive alot in the summer,can burn $50 in fuel in one day with a heavy foot.2 more years before my flatbed is paid for,that will be a nice raise
