Re: What's New in 2010......on the positive side?
Due to medical issues and costs with my children & husband, Jared's final law school expenses and his wedding expenses, I have done no racing with my car since November 2007. I don't race out of my savings account so, rather than risk running on empty, I opted to park my car for a while. Don Little is finishing up my new motor and I'm looking forward to hitting the racetrack again in May when I go to the Boise divisional. I'm hoping my fellow competitors will be easy on me as I'm going to be as rusty as a bucket of old bolts! I have nightmares wondering if I remember how to do a burnout! But my philosophy is "better to have raced and lost than never to have raced at all!" I'll probaby be terrible but I will have fun!!

Re: What's New in 2010......on the positive side?
Ill be happy if my oldest son finished High School....let alone law school....
I always say of all the things Ive dont only 1 every mattered and that is my kids and you should be very very proud. Nothing else I ever do will matter as much as the love I have and show my kids...nothing. Congrats ! 2 or 3 years off racing dosent sound like much....the tracks will still be there for you ! Quote:

Wade, not to drag this post in a different direction, but I have been following the build of your 'vette and hats off to you. You do very nice work and am glad to see some early iron, errrr glass, being built for SS.
Love those early vettes!! |

Re: What's New in 2010......on the positive side?
Wade,
Happy New Year, and the Vette work is looking good. I have always liked your cars, since first meeting you with the street roadster back in Bristol, years ago! I wish I had your touch and patience for details... I am getting my 67 Firebird Convertible running finally. Will have a crate motor in it this year, and then we will see how long it takes to get the Pontiac motor ready. Rear suspension, cage, most of front end complete... still have all the little stuff like wires, fuel system, interior to put back in, etc... Work and kids have slowed me down, but not stopped me! Chris, if you are ever in the Dallas area let me know. I will buy you a cup of coffee and swap some stories. Good luck to everyone for the new year. God Bless! Ken |

Re: What's New in 2010......on the positive side?
Thank you SSDA Hemi, Ken for those kind words and I still have the old Roadster. Now it's a street rod, Orange with a small block and a 5-speed stick. Rowing that stick on the street is so much fun ! (Photos on my profile..at the bottom of albums...click on...show all albums )
Larry, I took the liberty to have your name removed from double secret probation status LOL my friend ! Last edited by Wade Mahaffey; 12-31-2009 at 10:11 PM. |

Re: What's New in 2010......on the positive side?
For me it is getting back into class racing after a 36 year absence. I'll have the Duster ready to go for the first Division Seven race at Firebird. I have been bracket racing for the past 7 years but I am really looking forward to running a class car.
