Man! It sure has been a brutal winter!! But I went out to the garage every couple of weeks and turned the 64 over and kept a charge in the battery. Got a great deal on a rear glass bumper from Jim B. on the board here and Larry at Sled City was starting on the front bumper yesterday. Got a new pair of Strange S/A shocks for the front. It was all I could afford. I am sure they will be better than the antique CE 90/10s on there now! I have been lifting small weights and walking whenever I can but still get some minor headaches so the doc won't let me back into the car this year. I really want to see a 9.80 or so out of this thing so that is my goal! And for that dude with the orange Dart...Be prepared to take your beating!!

keep at it Ted.. just take it easy

Thanks Mike! I messed myself up deer hunting. They chewed me out good on that! Lesson learned!

Probably set my recovery back by 6-8 months pulling that stunt! And you need to listen too. We aint getting any younger!

Remember to take a laptop in. It can get boring. And good luck to you and the wife!

Like guys always say. It's heck getting old, but it sure beats not getting old. Winter here in PA was pretty nice thru December then the bottom fell out. Even with the warmer weather and rain the last 8 days I still have 6-8 inches of snow on the ground in my yard. I can't remember a year with so much ice either. Hopefully blue skies ahead and better racing weather than we had last year. Hope to see and meet more Mopar racers at the Mopar race at Pittsburgh Raceway Park and the Monster Mopar at Summit Motorsports Park.

John...Thanks for the Summit code. You can guess that I used it!

I think about the only thing left to buy is belts. I won't get them until the track opens.

I have two or three sets that are expired. The stock car boys snap them up pretty quick!

Yes...I think Jim(bad1970dust) will run it a couple of times.

yes, the yearly callout thread. where has 493dart been anyway

Ted just remember you have a goal in mind and you have to do what ever it takes to get yourself in the position to accomplish that, even if you have to put it off untill you get the body back in tip top shape, yes its been a lousey winter and haven't done much to the car, hopeing to get my knee replaced sometime in May so thats going to set me back a little as far as the racing in the first part of the season.

Hope to see you at CFR next year. Take care

get better man!as for the yearly call out,just tell him you felt it was wise to give him an extra season to "CATCH UP"
