BRR - THE MORNING TEMPS WERE IN THE 50'S WITH THE WIND WHIPPING ALONG AT 20 TO 25 MPH. IT REMINDED ME OF THE EARLY SEASON OPENINGS AT NAVARRE (OHIO). ONE EARLY APRIL OPENING HAD SNOW FLURRIES AND WE ALL JUST GAVE UP.
THE SUN POKED OUT AND THINGS WARMED UP SO THE AFTERNOON WAS PLEASANT. THE LATEST REPORT HAS 78 ENTRANTS (SOME MORE MAY POP UP TOMORROW).
TALKED WITH VKA PRES GARY AND FOUND OUT HE HASN'T HAD HIP REPLACEMENT YET, BUT IS REALLY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IT OVERWITH. MAX TORQUE JIM JOINED IN THE CHAT AND WAS HIS USUAL PLEASANT AND INFORMATIVE SELF.
THE PLEASANT SURPRISE OF THE DAY WAS THAT MY EXPERIMENT WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION FOR THE MC40 ACTUALLY WORKED. DESPITE SOME UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS WITH TWO BELT STARTERS, THE ENGINE CRANKED AND RAN SO IT CLEARLY HAD SPARK.
THE RECENT RUNUP IN EBAY PRICES FOR REED 458 SLOPER MANIFOLD BECAME CLEAR. THE CHANGE IN SPORTSMAN RULES APPEARS TO HAVE ATTRACTED SOME MORE ENTRANTS.
TEMPS TOMORROW AFTERNOON ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE LOW 70'S.
SMOKEY
