Morning all, I was hoping to update everyonr from the track, but with the help of mother nature that didn't happen, after hearing MDP was cancelled yesterday, i took a break,forty plus hours was enough for this week, I guess an early trip to Greenfield will have to do for a Friday test, the car is pretty much ready other than start-up, a quick weigh-in and a check of the front end alignment, updates to come this week after we fire her up......  |

Finally !!!We have ignition......Well after a month of long nights and juggling kids and work and car stuff,we started the car last night.With only a couple little glitches and some BIG GRINS and a sigh of relief,things are coming toghether nicely for the weekend,kinda glad I didnt make the Miramichi race as I wouldnt have been happy with things.You know how when you rush there are things you would like to dO but put off?

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!......The road to Greenfield finished up last weekend with my first pass since last August.Car worked really well ,I figure it will take a few runs to get a feel for the new power,the boys did a great job and gave me lots to work with!!...The chassis is showing its the weak point now.After talking setup with some of the "OLDER GUYS" LOL sorry Borden and Blair and Billy, I have this weeks project to get the car to hook better.A highlight for me was to win my first ACSSA round win in compatition.Imanaged to get by Terry Knapper with a holeshot and with the car spinning I was able to make up the difference at the stripe as he Broke out.....first round win in three years !!! after springing a leak on a trans line in the staging lanes I was a little worried so I decided not to push the trans and stayed off the trans brake, facing Jeremy Keans in the second round I knew he would be tough,which he was and nailed me on the tree 512 vs 612 and I decided to pack the run in and not risk the trans getting hurt.After working on the car for the last few weeks and then having it work so great it makes all the hard work worth while, a huge thank-you goes out to all that followed my blog these last few weeks and came up to me at the race with words of encouragement,and to my family Brandie and all the "pit crew" kids for their help, see you all next weekend...
