    well, were getting ready for our weekly snowstorm again since Christmas, another foot of snow coming to NJ, and they say Raceway Park is gonna open in 2 weeks, LOL. The good news is with the snow overtime, and super bowl overtime ive worked, I bought titanium valves, and will be able to pull the engine, freshen the heads and add titanium valves, check the bottom end, recoat the headers, and get ready for racing this season if it ever warms up here. ( temp was in the single digits this am again)

    hope its warm somewhere

    I'm getting sick of it too Duane. I've got a track rental at E-town later this month. I think they might need to snow plow the track!

    I know we don't have it like you guys up there. But when it gets cold in December look out. They say same weather pattern for next 25 yrs?

    Tracks are open in Va, No sense in burning hot ru$$er on a cold track. We'll leave that up to the gotta goes. We'll slide in there l8r.

    Yep doing more work on the snow blower then the car, Both Capitol and Cecil have delayed opening and it don't look good for next week. Not sure about Mason but it looks like MIR opened.

    My track rental is on the 28th, nearly 4 weeks so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
