Saddled up, ready to head to the track…cherishing being able to race

Getting harder and harder for me to get things around to go racing. Load, unload, load, unload.
I have emphysema or COPD whatever you want to call it. I get short of breathe just doing what we’re once easy things.
just finished getting everything around and have been picking away at it off and on since 10. It’s now 1:30.
it is what it is. I stupidly starting smoking menthol cigarettes back in 1974 in boot camp. Didn’t quit till 3 years ago.
my advice to young people is..please don’t start smoking.
I find myself whenever we go somewhere thinking about where we are gonna be parked compared to where we have to go. Never entered my mind before.
Anyhow, not absolutely positive( probably 90% though) that this will be my last year racing. Next year probably just be a spectator.
it isn’t the racing, it’s getting everything around , and that’s part of racing. The other thing is being dependent on others to do stuff I cant do, that sucks too.

Keep on keepin on B3422w5 !!

Just a suggestion.. see if there are any younger people around that are interested in Racing and get them involved. Many are interested in doing the "heavy lifting" just to get a chance to participate in the hobby. Leave a legacy of sorts LOL !

BTW the car is beautiful. Easy to see you have your heart and soul into it!

Cheers!!
