So many years I spun a bearing in the Killer Spit during an IVR race out
at Wendover. It was the same summer I got laid off from my job at the U
of U. I decided at that time it would be wise to ot spend money redoing
the motor and continuing to race. That was, like 2005?
Earlier this month I attended the VARA British Extravaganza at
Buttonwillow Raceway in California. Highlight of the weekend was the
annual Kastner Cup event. Had a great timefor the most part, and got
inspired. So I am going to commit to getting the Killer Spit back in
action. Probably just an autocross or two near the end of the summer,
on a real racetrack in 2020 or 2021. We shall see.
But gee, the garage has been used for a storage closet for years, a
complete mess. Many tools and parts and stuff were lost when I couldn't
keep paying the rent on storage units and the contents were auctioned
off. I may have to actually buy a few things this summer to carry out
my plan. Like an engine stand and a crane to lift motors in and out.
Maybe more painting stuff, another HVLP gun or two. Gosh, I may be
asking for advice and recommendations on a few things this summer, sure
you folks will be quite helpful.
First order of business is defrosting the old fridge out there, it got a
bit of buildup.
