To bad. I thought you were looking for a driver for the car. Gotta be tough to put it away and not be able to drive it any longer. Best of luck...

That wasnt the issue, Ben Cantrell stopped by and we
were going to go in a week or so and have him do some
test passes to see if he was comfortable in it. I called
him yesterday to say things have changed

Mike aren't you feeling well? I parked mine when I wasn't feeling good, I lost 30pds 20 more to go then I might get back out.
I'm feeling OK, its just I'm going to have to lay out
some serious money here shortly and I'm not sure about
my income. I want to build a new shop and thats
about 30K and if Chrysler goes belly up thats 1/2
of my income out the door, plus I dont know what
will happen to my health care(the last couple of
years I sure needed that). Plus if things go the way
I am hopeing on the shop, I will need the time to
build it..... too many things are up in the air right
now and I SHOULD know more in 2 weeks

I did the same thing last summer. Some times a thing called life gets in way of racing. I was up set at first but I ended up having the best summer in a long time. Some time away can ease the stress that our hobby can create as well as the financial burden it can cause. I enjoyed last summer so much I am planning year two of my hiatus. As long as your health is good it may be nice to relax and focus on some other areas of life that require some attention. My car is long paid for so it can sit in garage - it will be there when I decide to go back as will yours! Enjoy the Break and sip the odd cool one - I did and have yet to regret it. 
Thanx 451 Guy

Sorry to hear that Mike, but at least you left open the idea for the 2 closest events if you could make them You have to do whats best for you right now and getting your new shop done while things are still a bit stable is probably the best plan. Take care and keep us posted. Talk to you soon. Greg

Mike I'm gonna get my new motor fired this weekend hopefully, then throw the car cover over it for the summer unless I step in some gold for once instead of poo poo. Very depressing. If I do get money to race I'll have to borrow or rent a truck to pull my trailer. Right now I just want to get caught up on bills and get straightened out, then it will probably be winter time again.
