In his efforts to get to the Mills, Jason brought me a trailer this week. So I decided I’d try to make practice at Oswego. I finished all the little stuff and got the transmission back in, worked up a set of tires, and got a couple hours off of work. Everything looked good. Until I went load the car. It seems I put too big a spacer behind the bell housing and the clutch wouldn’t disengage. I probably had enough time to take it apart and fix it but by that time I was so frustrated I decided to call it a night.

I gave Dave Fetterly a call last night and we talked about the racing scene in CNY and where we might end up. I imagine we’ll talk a bit more tomorrow over some beers at RoC. We pretty much came to the conclusion that racing is expensive. We’re both looking at the 9/7 show at Spencer and maybe a run to Shangri La 2. He hooked me up with some help finding gears to run Evans Mills. Now I just need to scrape up some cash. And a hitch for the van. And a block. And some shocks… No wonder I don’t get on the track as much as I’d like to.
