I have had little to write about as of late. Yesterday I had some brief fun.
I was stuck behind a couple of cars that unexpectedly pulled over together. I was on the gas and noticed the VDC was on so I fixed that. The car roared to life and sounded so good I smiled immediately. Cars were in a solid line going the opposite direction so no cutting corners allowed. I touched a rear tire to the yellow line and some economy car blasted it's horn for a few seconds. Can't complain too much but I was in my lane and in control. I got about two miles of this when I encountered another slow mover. After a minute I came to an intersection that had the cars ahead turning off while another car (truck actually) wanted to roll the stop sign and jump ahead of me. I pressed him and he stopped as he should have. I had one more mile home without interruption.

What a great run home. Could have been better but not recently.

Love it when all things fall into place for a free and clear drive!

I drove to a slot car tournament on my new Toyo R888 tires for the very first time. I got about one mile on a winding road after wearing off the factory coating. They are fantastic and I still need to find their limits, but the turn in is quicker.

I won the tournament too. That is my Alan Mann GT40.
