Unfortunately another round of storms hit and washed out most of the running the rest of the day . Then it later cleared but the track workers had left and that was that. Hershal did take me for a good ride around the track during a break in the action earlier in his 40. We had 2 laps of the circuit and I enjoyed it very much.Later in the afternoon Jerry Jansing told me to "take her for a drive" ,,,Jerry had some oiling issues with his engine and didn't run Friday, but his car was great to run in the huge infield parking lot. I was surprised how light the steering is. I was wondering how heavy mine would be when I get her done, but it has good feel and even with a small steering wheel it does not seem heavy at all. The car felt very "connected" to the driver similar to the formula cars I used to drive , or as a purpose built race car should be, but with a bit of suppleness so it does not thrash you if you drive it on public roads. Very Nice ! Thanks Jerry for the drive , I hit a puddle with the front left wheel and after Jerry had it wiped all down before I took it out. I returned red faced, but Jerry insisted "DONT WORRY ABOUT IT" and wouldn't let me clean it up,LOL.
Later we all went out for Mexican and had a super time. I am looking forward to when we all can get together again. Also thanks for all the shirts guys !
I had to leave early Saturday and help the Nortwest Airline mechanics by joining them in a picket line at DFW and showing support from a fellow mechanic .So I dont know how the drags went , but the weather should have been good Saturday.
