More power to you Jimi! Hope next year is even better for you.

Myself...actually it's the very same as Eric, finally finish the car and not strangle the **** out of someone that so desperately needs it! LOL!

I've got the kids junior in the shop now and very shortly the mustang will be back inside...just hope santa brings what I asked for! (even gave part #'s hehehe)

My goals are to race until I can't and enjoy my life and family, which I currently do, but to do so even more, so I ordered a new boat so me and mama can fish in more comfort, and a new motor home so we can travel in comfort. And I'm gonna beat Slate Cummins this year. Just once.

As far as racing goes I need to get a bunch of passes on the car next year starting with the Mission divisional. A race a year just doesn't cut it for me.

Where as in life, a bit of a slowdown at work and other things so my brain stops saying to myself "Insufficient Memory to run progarm".

I am trying to reassemble my old 'checkmate" camaro after striping it to a shell 8 years ago too fix a bit of wear and tear. The plan is too try and run it in a modified class again. But i will have to say it is tough especially the way technoligy has changed the sport. I hate too say it but I think I have fallen behind the times. I am firm believer in stick cars but I dont think old Liberty modified hemi 4spds and Doug Nash 5spds of whick I have plenty will cut it. I wont even go there on the state of small inch small block chevys. The last time out with the car I had a fairly good small block that decided too drop valves after not even 7 passes when they pulled through the retainers. That incendent cost me a complete engine and parked us. Since then i have had multiple health issues but seem to back on track. So hopefully I will get it done and get back too playing with you guys. Good Luck too all of you in 2012.

Nice post!

I can relate!

No racing for the last few years. Hurt the engine 2 years ago and have to scrape up the money to fix it.

2 teenagers at home. 1 just got his Driver's Permit yesterday.

When I have money, I have no time. When I have time, I have no money.

I'll get there soon.

A 2012 goal.
