Well, I have to hand it to the boys at Vin’s Sunoco as they made a valiant effort, but it’s a no show. They even worked on the coup in the trailer during the trip west, but the powers that be just wouldn’t come together. They made it to the Lion’s pits and were left standing on the sidelines. It is still a tribute to the spirit of Lions Drag Strip as it’s what racing is all about!
The topper was the decals as everyone in the area quit early to get liquidated for the coming New Year. The fuel lines needed other things done first, so they are still in the tool box.. The steering rods are also in the box as they interfere with other installations.
At least no one minded some photos of the beast at rest as the Bud was popped and the boys sat to watch the Ball drop in NY on the B&W pit TV.
Happy New Year to all!
