MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Hey Everyone!

Cape Cod got hammered with 2 feet of snow last weekend. It's a good thing we're not trying to race today. Fortunately, I only had to do a little bit of shoveling. Looks like we'll get some rain this weekend so some of the snow should melt. I spent alot of this week on the phone, wishing people a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Serviced the generator on the Freightliner, did some more picking up in the shop with lots still to do. It never ends & keeps us busy. I spent evenings shopping & preparing for Christmas. Going to take tomorrow off to help Ann get ready for the holiday and then over to my mothers for Christmas Eve. Family will all meet there for dinner & presents-a long time tradition since we all grew up & moved out to start our own families. Christmas day we'll be home in the morning & then over to my father in laws in the evening for dinner. I'll be back to work at the shop on Saturday-going to get some cleaning & organizing done with the tunes cranked up.

Wishing everybody a great Christmas. I hope Santa is good to you all and for all of you on the naughty list-I hope it was worth it! Will be in touch again next week.

WORKING AT THE SHOP

Hey All!

Cool pictures will accompany this blog....As you'll see, we unloaded the car last night and got it into the shop. Charlie is down from NH helping out. It's great having him around. He pulled the clutch out so we can send that off for recertification. I just finished making up a 60' extension cord to plug the trailer in while its outside. Unfortunately, I underestimated by a couple of feet-Son of a gun, I came up short! We'll be doing a variety of other work in the shop over the next couple days. I'm going to take advantage of Charlie's help while he's here. It's brutally cold here so we're doing our best to stay inside to work.

I'll update you all again early next week. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

BACK FROM PRI SHOW

Hey Everybody!

Its been a busy week but we're back from Florida. The Performance Racing Industry (PRI)Trade Show was a great show. Jimmy & I spent three days walking the show, shaking hands, doing some research, and talking with people in the industry. We got alot of positive feedback on the car that was set up in the Permatex booth. We're back at the shop now and will start to prepare for the racing season. Will be taking some time over the holidays to hang out with my family. Otherwise, busy here in the shop & office as usual. Thanks for checking in & if you have questions...please let me know.

It's a crazy time of year so, take a moment in all the craziness & remember to be thankful for all that you have.

Updates From The Road

Hey Everybody,

Eddie & I are driving I-95 South in Georgia, it's a little bit warmer here. Eddie just commented, "not by much". I want to thank team members Mitch & Ozzie for all the hard work they put into the truck before we left Massachusetts. Rich, from In A Flash Welding donated lots of time to help us out as well, thanks Rich! The truck has been running great!

We dropped the Dodge Avenger body off with Jesse at Circus Paints in NJ on our way to Florida. He's going to repaint the Avenger to match the Impala paint, so they will look identical. This will be a big plus for our sponsors so that we have a matching show car for when the Impala is elsewhere racing.

Eddie and I will arrive in the Orlando, FL area early tomorrow for the the PRI Show. Set up for the show is Wednesday, where the car will be in the Permatex booth throughout the show. Jimmy will fly down to meet us on Wednesday. Tom, Barbara, & Fred from Permatex will be meeting us & working the booth as well. It'll be good to see everybody and it should be a great time.

Check back later in the week for updates from the show. Thanks for checking in, I hope you're all having a wonderful day!
