THE MORNING WEATHER STARTED OUT GREAT WITH THE AFTERNOON GOING TO CLOUDY AND WINDY BUT DRY. A TIP OF SMOKEY'S HAT TO MR. MAX TORQUE FOR UPDATING ME ON THE NEW DRAGON SKIN LININGS AND INSIGHT INTO HOW HE LOADS ALL THOSE SPRINGS ON TO THE CLUTCH. THE TOOL HE CREATED IS IMPRESSIVE AND A FANCIER MODEL IS NOW AVAILABLE FROM TERRY IVES.
THE TURNOUT TODAY WAS A RETURN TO NORMAL WITH LOTS OF REAR ENGINE KARTS, A FAIRLY LIGHT FLEA MARKET CROWD, AND LOTS OF FRIENDLY CHIT CHAT.
GARY W SHOWED UP IN MID AFTERNOON. HIS FELLOW ASTRONAUTS WERE UNABLE TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON TO THE STREET RACE, SO HE CAME TO THE TBO.
ANYONE THAT WANTED TRACK TIME WAS ABLE TO GET AN ALMOST UNLIMITED AMOUNT (SUBJECT TO THEIR EQUIPMENT'S SURVIVAL). ONE NOTABLE SESSION HAD EIGHT KARTS WITH VARIOUS HISTORIC ENGINES RUNNING NOSE TO TAIL FOR QUIT A FEW LAPS. IT WAS A RARE SIGHT THAT REALLY WAS AN UNEXPECTED TREAT.
THE INCREASE IN FLEA MARKET ITEMS PROVIDED A FEW IRRESISTABLE ITEMS BUT DIDN'T GET CLOSE TO THE LARGE HOLES IN THE WALLET THE LAST FEW YEARS. THERE ARE STILL SOME BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT THREATEN MY WALLET. WE WILL SEE WHAT SUNDAY WILL BRING.
A NOTE TO THOSE OF YOU TRYING TO SELL KARTS, ENGINES, ETC. YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR ASKING PRICE ON YOUR BIG TICKET ITEM. IT'S EASY TO PASS ON AN UNMARKED ITEM. THE RIGHT PRICE IS MORE LIKELY TO GET AN INQUIRY THAN THE ASSUMPTION THAT AN UNMARKED ITEM IS PRICED WAY TOO HIGH.
