Gladiators in the Steel Palace

So I’ve been looking at the schedules and I think I’ve come up with one I’m going to try to stick with. It looks a little like this:

It’s a pretty aggressive schedule and I may have to bow out of a couple weekly shows if it gets to be too much. I’m still working on a plan for keeping tires on it. We’ll see how that goes.

Well, it’s down on its wheels again. I need to build a couple of brackets and re-hang the body then it’s off to dad’s for some body work and paint. I’m going to call about lettering tomorrow and see how much that’s going to set me back. So it’s feasible that I can make it to the expo with some time to spare. I’m a little concerned about being able to afford buying pretty parts like chrome wheels so we’ll see just how nice it looks when it shows up.

I got the block back a couple of weeks ago and I’m starting to pick up the rest of the parts to put it back together. hopefully I can fit what I need into my budget so I’ll have a better motor for opening day.

Speaking of opening day, Spencer finally released their schedule. 16 races. If I add in  RoC, the Open and the Fall Brawl, that’s a lot of shows. And a lot of tires. I’m told Spencer will be allowing F75s so I guess I’ll be running them for everything but the Big 10 shows. Now I just need to figure out where to get them. Oh, and how to pay for them..
