Winter sucks! Is it Spring yet?
Winter is always tough on Gearheads.
Usually too cold to work on your toys.
No live racing, if you are lucky you might see some British, German, or Australian Touring Car Races on SpeedTV. Or maybe some TV shows about building Hot Rods, or the damn collector car auctions.
What’s a Gearhead to do? Wait til Spring, I guess.
But whar are the first signs of Spring?
GroundHog Day? Nope.
Flowers blooming? Are you kidding me? It is snowing here in the MidAtlantic Region!
Warmer weather? I wish!
Racing!
24 hours of LeMons and ChumpCar have both completed their first $500 “claimer” road racing endurance events. Dirt Late Models and Modifieds are competing on the clay at East Bay in Florida. This weekend, the green flag drops on the 24 Hours of Daytona starts the Sports Car road racing season.
Next week, the NASCAR boys (and girls…remember Danica is racing some Nationwide Series events this year) kick off their season with the Daytona shootout. OldTimers like me still call it the Busch Clash, a name this event had for many years. With this event, the “redneck high holy days” commence!
I feel better already!
