    AYE Mateys – I agree we need to start back having the Thurs night Test-N-Tunes.
    Like Erik, back in 2014 Thursdays became my day to learn about the club and get lots of mentoring from Stephen and Rich. From 2014 to 2017, while I worked downtown, I made it a point to come to Test-N-Tune on my way home and even left work early to get there. Test-N-Tune night was almost an addiction and I looked forward to it each week.

    Sadly, when my job moved me to Taylor/Hutto not only did the drive/distance more than double, but Thursdays became an intense day due to needing to have materials approved on Friday morning for regular meetings with executives.

    NOW – as I WFH – it is easier to show up on Thursdays, but I prefer that someone like Randy (who lives < 5 miles away) is Primary and I am Backup host. On non-race Saturdays I will be glad to be Primary host from noon-6p.

    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.
