We did really well on Sat. with getting 2 cars nailed together, we had all the tubes bent and just had to fit & weld. Wed should also go along well also, with another one set for next Sat. These guys are a riot to work with & C'boybob and myself are looking forward to having some more guys to run with. They are full of enthusiam & certainly not lacking on ability.
I am lacking ability but i found if i follow around 2b he tells me what to do lol. Had a blast on saturday wish i lived closer i would be there on wed. also.
Just glad i can do my part i am learning a ton. With all these guys around it's really hard to figure who i want to learn from first!
Very cool guys! Hope to ALL of you in Joplin!

Guys, the chassis looks great, but I'm more impressed with your group enthusiasm. I think that's what keeps this whole HA/GR thing growing.

yea, our ragtag little motley crew is pretty pumped up about these racecars... except for the Louver Dude... he's craping out on us this weekend... see he's a master plumber, and needs to have so much ongoing education about the trade to maintain his license... so this weekend is a series of seminars teach the ongoing thing...
imagine that, he'd rather be there than here!!! :eek:
:p

I know you're kidding, but it's likely more a case of He'd rather be there than in a carboard box under a bridge somewhere.:rolleyes: I have to do 'continuing ed' type stuff too, royal pain, not the education part, the scheduling; how do they keep finding the only time I REALLY want to do something and schedule this crap then? BOOO:(
