I was fortunate to be able to go to MoneyMaker Racing today and spend some time with Alex. We finally had a beautiful day in Chicago area..70 degrees and sunshine! Alex helped me with a 65 convertible I've been working on. I was able to work side by side with him and learn a few things, and together we got a rear end whine straightened out, got rockers adjusted, timing re-set and dialed in the Holley carb. Car was running okay before, but its SWEET now. Thanks Alex for all your help, I had a great day.  Scott

Just another typical day around here, with the exception of having some "quality" help.

I wonder the cost of sending a Mustang UPS to IL?------------------

I can tell you sending 4 wheels from Maine to LA is $107...  FedEx is cheaper, $77. ------------------

There are racers traveling west to east and back again all the time.
Many times they have room in their trailers.  ------------------

It would probably be more cost efficient to fly Alex here to dial in my 65.
Maybe Trish could take Beth to Disneyland?------------------

I hear that there are some pretty reasonable air fares these days. ------------------
