      [attachment file=”ASCC HQ Garage Door-cropped-small.png”]The HQ doors have been sealed, hopefully resulting in significantly less dust on the track and floor. A dispenser of hand sanitizer is on the front pit table.

      Retractable Door
      The existing mangled bottom seal, with the prophylactic effectiveness of an alter-boy’s five-year old Ramses at “lookout hill”, was replaced with air-conditioner coolant line insulation.

      Back Door
      The bottom sweep, with the sealing power of a congealed tube of Fixodent, was augmented with a half-role of air-conditioner coolant line insulation. This will reduce the Venturi effect on the retractable door and also reduce the entrance of dust, water and insects in the back half of the HQ.

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.
