    My original purple LMP was 2nd in the concours back in June – but she’s a little porky and the best she did was 3rd in a race in July (lots of luck involved there!)  As of 2 weeks ago the motor is end of life and chassis is being re-purposed for a NASCAR-truck (with a fresh Hawk-7 and complete re-build – guide, wires, drivetrain, tires/wheels).

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
