Drooze has left the..........

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Building..... no just moved a few doors down to a Solo location.

Things went from being fun with the DP and straining personal relationships too much to be worth it. My way or the highway isnt going to cut it for 16 hr days.

So.....new projects and new plans, actually finally getting to plans that were mine all along now with the freedom afforded by my abscence in participation of the DP well........back to the races in short order. It will take about a month to finish the other Challenger, my 72 for S/SS/GT ? Still havent made final decisions on what to do with some items.

Thats if it dosent get traded, I have 2 interested parties in a trade and will probably be hopping down to St. Louis to look at one very soon.
Its not as "sexy" as the Challenger but a well done car with definite upsides on the chassis side. Things that I couldnt afford to do/buy/or have done in the 2 month timeline from today to have my own car to the track.

It will take almost 1.5 weeks to get the internet connection at the shop so....for 16 hr days ... ill be OFFLINE.....aaaa....a welcome relief to some Im sure Ill probably actually get more work done.

But just be sure (we) the new Drooze Crew will be working hard at annoying and building something to annoy well beyond what the DP could....this time my way, all the way. All the complete goofy ideas I can come up with and weld together. (Or more correctly have our master welder Damon weld together) Ive got a scavenging header setup that may give NHRA Techs a stroke but dosent say it cant be done, a lesson from tuned resonance on two strokes Never seen a resonance stinger on a Stocker, but why not ? And a few other Drooze Ideas like a Dry Differential....no rule says it has to have fluid in it

So back to my old haunts with some new "team" members who have helped all along here and there, now full time, like Damon, and David White.....you think Im crazy...lol...

But it was a long day today moving shops for my items, and will be tommorow as well, help is on the way for that however and...........

Well some of the help you will know and reckognize others, well while not very internet oriented come 2 monthsish, youll think my HR department searched Guatemalan insane asylums for rocket scientists, The wastelands of the builders of the Machines from Mad Max and the Road warrior (he dresses like that too, sorry Damon you do man) and well......after that what else needs to be said, but these are the people I have worked with on bikes for over 20 years and one of us completes anothers sentence when it comes to crazy ideas, like backing bearings with Beryllium oxide , and yes we did it and it worked So.......

Off to the road to ruin, but most certain fun, and who knows we may just get lucky Im shooting for 2 under......any less well that wont be a sucess in my book, and weve all talked and all think it can be done, so.........

Thanks for all the well wishes and I hope to see you all trackside again soon.

And Mandie will be there, we have a new saying thanks to Gary Parker......"Shes young enough to be my daugther, but shes NOT" Mandie T-Shirts will be available for order
