Okay this is a boring day.... and I already called Peter a Sick Puppy ( I
stand by the comment by the way)  

Lets move on to the real sicko in your mists... that would be ME.... 

So we are hanging out bench racing the other day.... and we are talking
about the bugeye I found for my Bonneville car.... it's a complete car with
the front end....( very damaged but it will go on one of my Boxes well )
and NO floor Boards... Just a fair amount of RUST but really it's a Whole
car sorta...

okay so we have all seen this Parts car somewhere in our lives... one that
doesn't deserve restoring.... I know they are all restorable... .... and
Speed costs money son...how fast you wanna go?..... In other words you
would have to be WAY TO ambitious to attack this one.... we got the Picture
I am sure... 

Back to bench racing.... We got this here Camaro....and we know what we
have to do this season at Bonneville.... but we also remembered that this
whole deal was about having FUN and FUN first.....

Okay now back to the clapped out bugeye again.... Decided that Hot Rodding
is taking a car from what it is to what you want it to be..... or taking
what you have and making it better..... Hmmm   How bout running the Bugeye
up at Maxton as a Semi Stock car.... hmmm now here is a tempting
thought.... Yeah this is working... I got a couple of 1275's laying around
and several Transmissions.... hmmm and a battery from here and a set of
tires off Miss Kathy's Bugeye....( she don't come down to the shop much and
I sure ain't going to mention it ) ( look at it this way... she would want
me safe at these Enormous speeds....)

Okay we getting the Picture here?   LET me add to it.... My Car and Number
won the Points Championship at Maxton Last Year.... so... now we got a
NUMBER one Plate to stick on the side of our monstrosity.....

anyone else having fun yet?   Sorry this sounds like to much fun for me to
pass up.... I still gotta run up to Atlanta to pick up the car.... hmmm 

But that is my story and I am sticking to it..... This car in it's later
life is going to be running in the 300mph range.... but to start it's
racing career in the single digits...... Come on guys..... This has got to
be a RIOT..

Keith ( no I ain't quite Right )
