Last night the snow came, over a Foot :sick ! So it is official the SuperSlot Car Series has started :aok . Darrell, Bruce and a Mopar In Motion member came to get the Speedway going we have a 4 lane L Layout 20Ft - 6Ft - 8ft. Our season ends in March. If anyone wants to come over and Race you are welcome to. We run house Cars so you don't even need a Slot Car to Start.

Well,

Slot car racing and collecting go hand and hand for me.

I make a good part of my racing money selling my hand wound

motors, as well as a small restoration business I run restoring

Aurora Thunderjets.

Slot car night is fun and a lot of laughs. My favorite part of the night

is the open class where you all run your own creation in the start of

the night. I have enjoyed racing on Tuesday nights for a few years

now, and thought I may loose out this year due to the knee.

Friday proved to be the countdown for the knee. April 6th is the replacement,

as well as some possible bone grafting due to the bones pounding for so long.....

and two bone ulcerations the usually bond new knee to.

Anyway, looks like I may miss the opening of the racing season, except from a

spectator level.

With that being said, the R/T continues its winter freshening and will surely be

exciting for me to pilot when able. I will be looking to earn a few stickers,

as well as a hat or two if warranted.

We'll see if we can make the single four barrel wedge move........ :pop :stir :pop

A couple shots of my 1963 Thunderjets that will turn into a stroked Megablock

when the R/T bores me again....D-out.....

Aside from using the winter down time to tweak the car I get the urge to break out the guns. I used to target shoot with rifle and handgun but its pretty uneventful punching holes in paper. Recently I've been getting back into Skeet shooting which is something I did often with my father before he moved away years ago. My wife thinks I'm nuts to head out at 9am and stand outside when its below freezing with a shotgun but its really fun. The morning sun, the crisp fresh air and the destruction of clay targets. :rock

I have a small gun club not 2 miles from my house with a proper skeet field, we don't hand launch these. There are 9 shooting positions setup with 2 "houses" that have throwers inside, its pretty regulated. You end up shooting 25 birds in each round and keep score. I kind of think of it similar to golf, but not as lame. :stir It's a blast. Pun intended.
