Next race

Now that I have caught up on February's misadventure, it's time to look forward. The next race is a demo scramble May 20th at Ionia at 4PM. I still have to finish a car.

Right now the car collection is sat at 4 with another one coming in today. So what is lurking in the driveway.

1 The infamous 1994 Hello Kitty Cavalier. This will never run again and I somehow need to get it on the trailer and to the junkyard.

2 The 1980 Ford Fairmont that ran a couple of races last year with minimal success. It needs a tie rod fixed but I am debating whether this too needs to go to the junkyard as it sucked last year. If it does the heavy steel bumpers are being saved.

3 A 1999 Ford Escort ZX2. Yes a 1999. In fact its one year newer than the same car that my girlfriend drives but it is in a lot worse shape. When I bought it at a storage auction for $150 there was not a single panel that wasnt dented, the ignition was ripped to pieces and it didnt run. Well I dont care about the dents, the ignition has been fixed and it runs. Just a side note did you know that people can let their cars get so dirty that coins will stick to the carpet?

4 A 1989 Cavalier. I like Cavalier's - they just seem to work. This one was also acquired for $150 and it too had already been in a few accidents but it seems to run good.

Now I just have to finish prepping them
