Time to break out the 510...Spring is here!

Post by tr6racer21 »

Moved the racecar into the shop from its winter home in the trailer...time to get ready for the season...VIR and Summit Point right around the corner.

Also replaced the bad clutch slave cylinder on the street car and took her for a drive...feels good to be back in the 510 after an extended winter slumber.

Is that green grass I see? Man, we still have a foot of snow on the ground. My 510 won't be out of the barn until May 1.
Nice looking race car BTW, what class do you run in?

Cut my lawn last day of Feb. Last weekend I took my 710 for a short drive. Damn now that's all I think of at work. Gotta get on the road this summer.

Yup, it is almost time!
Going for a mountain bike ride in a few minutes. I can see the rain coming from Nanaimo way, so hopefully we will beat it before it gets to White Rock.

I went out for a drive this morning. It's supposed to rain from now till the beginning of April so I thought I would get out and abuse these tires a bit before the new wheels and tires arrive. Summer is going to be fun!
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Well I'm glad its Spring somewhere because its currently 28 degs and like defdes I still have 18" in the yard. But it was warm enough this weekend for me to install my CV axles. Getting ready for Summit Point and the drive to pickup Qwik510 in MD then head to Keith's in NC for 510 Day then to Summit Point a few days later.

DefDes you should come to Summit Point its a blast and no it isn't a car show. There is actual racing with real race cars on Track.
