I'm tired of winter. I wana' complain...

#1 Post by Dave Yonemura » Fri Jan 21, 2011 7:23 pm

This time of the year, I've always bitched about... Too Cold to enjoy a smoke outside at break. Scraping windshields, and shoveling SNOW. NO DRAGRACING!
Then I think about... Gees it's hot out here in the staging lanes! I'm getting sunburned! FU@$*&G misquitoes!
I MISS DRAGRACING!!!

I'm with you on this one. By the way, been busy working on the car. We have not seen you in a bit here.

Well it's a nice 5 degrees this morning, snow on the ground and we're suppose to get something Tuesday into Wednesday.

Ain't no way I'm going out to the garage with that cold concrete floor!

Gotta love it......

I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

If I wasn't working so damn much, I'd have had the Camaro finished and back at the track here in Sacramento. We race pretty much year round around here, tho the weather can get a bit sketchy sometimes.

I was travelling for work last week as well. On my drive home, the thermometer in the truck dropped from -14 to -28 in a little over an hour. We call that normal here in Minnesota...not sure if that makes us tough or dumb!
But, the snow has been great here this year and lots of snowmobiling going on!
On the other hand, those temps put my minitub project on hold for awhile.
