Mistakes happen. No sweat. BUT, please lose the artsy fartsy blur on the picts. Can't make it but never miss Eagle Field here in Nor Cal.
Our truck clubs annual show had a BOB (bolt on b***s***) award for a few years. Sometimes judging was tough. Others not so much. If there's a...
Love the stopwatches (average the 3 readings for an "official" time) and the oil pots for course lighting. Thanks for sharing.

Actually the interior (headliner) is the ONLY thing I'd have to rethink. Otherwise change nothing. Don't always know how to get there but know...
