Just a Thought

Yesterday I bought some parts off ebay that I have been eyeing for some time. A block in metro Detroit and an old dual point in out state New York. Both will go on the "to be used later" shelf in the shop.

I did not know either seller. Both sent me big thank you emails. Both were very appreciative.

My thought I guess is if you can afford to purchase goods or services you want or for see a need for now may be a good time to support those in our sport who are in financal need no fault of their own.

We are fortunate here our business has not been shut down and we are not required to stay home.

thought of that idea.....It is a great suggestion! I will
try to take it.

BTW: Is that Bob Elliot's old Max Wedge = I could tell
you a story or two about it!

It originally was Jim VanZee's from Oskaloosa, IA. It went from a police special to a race car in the 60s. John Wilson of Anthon, IA was the next owner. I bought it in 78 and retired it in 97 and sold it to my brother in 2015.
