March 23 is planned first Test N Tune for both Gateway Motorsports Park, and for our closest track Coles County Dragway. Any body else in this part of the country anxious to be behind the wheel again, try out a new combination, or just go down the track ? Watching the Big Boys go at it at Pamona this weekend, thinking it's cold there. I'm ready for the snow and ice to go away. Jerry, got your glide in yet ? Dick, got your Cricket, yet ? There are a few new guys working on cars right now, hope they all can be ready for May, and the Nostalgia Rendezvous. Will we hit 60 cars ? Everybody, stay warm and safe till we can race !!

Polara-bear, the powerglide is in. Measuring for a new Victory driveshaft so it can be ordered.
Looking forward to some fresh meat this summer!! We will have to miss the first points race to attend our grand daughters graduation, but will be ready for Cordova's nostalgia race. ( planning on getting some test and tune in at Cedar Falls in April.)

Well, if that don't rip the stripe off of a skunk. Polara Bear has been hybernating and dreaming of fresh caught Blue Gill Bow Tie all Winter, and you won't even be at Gateway in May. You are right, family comes first. You maybe should make the driveshaft a little shorter for when you have to tuck tail and run. Will look forward to seeing you at Cordova, after I blow a tire or two on the way there. Papa and Mama Polara Bear

Hello Dick, glad you are getting the big Ford ready to go. Since Jerry won't be at St. Louis, maybe we can play race car. Been keeping my eye open for a Cricket or Kangacruz, no luck on used ones, did see mentioned that dealers sometimes have new ones for sale at real big Camping/Motorhome type shows. Kind of neat they fold up. Looks like you guys in the Chi town area are getting hit every week with some nasty weather. Really hope we have an early Spring !! See you at St. Louis. The Polara Bears

Just made my first test hits of the season last night (April 12). Results were awesome! Hope to see a bunch of cars at the Mokan race!

I just ordered a set of snow tires , we got 8" of snow yesterday. Supposed to be close to 60 degrees today. Weather can't make up it's mind. We don't have spring, it's either winter or summer.
