THE CAR RUNS!

Spring is in the air! We fired the car today in preparation for the Maratta Auto & Cycle Show in Hartford, CT this weekend. Boy, did it sound awesome. You want to know the best part though??? We shut the car off, and not more than 2 minutes later, Terri walks out of the office telling me Tommy Howell is on the phone. Tommy's in Afghanistan! I think he heard the car from over there-he's ready to go racin'. It was great to hear from Tom & to know he's doing well.

We got the car loaded into the trailer & we're all ready to hit the road in the morning. Thanks to the whole crew; Terri, Spencer, Ozzie, Eddie, & Joe for all their help. It's a true team effort that makes it all happen-this team is the best!

I'll blog again next week to recap the weekend. If you're in the Hartford area, stop by & see us.

HOLY COW IT'S COLD!

I'm really glad I'm able to be working inside today. I'm not sure if we had cold like this last year but, once a year is more than enough. Scott Spencer, Terri, & I have been working away at the shop. More of the same, cleaning, repainting the office, & getting the car ready for the Maratta Auto & Cycle Show in Hartford, CT this coming weekend. Check out their site, www.fmautoshow.com to see what the weekend has to offer. If you're in the area, come check us out at the show, we'll be firing up the car on Sunday afternoon.

I'll check back in again next week, we'll be working more toward getting the show on the road for the racing season & should have more to share.

Have a great week!

HELLO FRIENDS

I always talk about cleaning but HOLY COW-this week, & I mean ALL WEEK, Terri, Scott, & I cleaned & organized the entire shop. Its not done yet, I'm not sure if its ever done but, we've certainly made it over the hump. We'll be working on the racecar and getting it ready for the season. We've got a few more pieces to be sent out for recertification that we do every year & restocking up on parts.

I'll talk with you all again next week, thanks for checking in.
