This morning I drove it to work. Marley's car seat fit just fine!! I love the old school Growl that the opened Quads make. To best describe it, it almost sounds like old school meets a higher pitched high revving exotic car. Again this thing is on rails.
I started to hear a rattle from under my door and new exactly what it was. I need to readjust the driver Quad pipe. When I bolted it back on the angle is too close to the floor board and it was rattling on it.
Took the LONG way back to work. It is beautiful today.
My son Aaron and his wife got there ultra sound (first one) done today and he texted me a picture. Very cool, He and his twin are both expecting (in late summer)
Today I sent off an email to try to get Parnelli Jones Autograph. For those not in the know, he is the one who won the trans am Champion ship in 1970 in a Boss 302. He also won his first race out in a Boss at Laguna Seca back in 1969 and Barely lost the 69 championship. I knew he was part owner of VPJ racing. I sent an email not expecting anything back. but by 10 AM I got a reply from a Jim Dilamarter, who is his partner. I told them i would make a donation if Parnelli signed the plate. Jim gave me the address and and told me thanks for the donation and that he would have Parnelli sign it. I did some more sleuthing and found out that the guy I was talking to was a Indy 500 car winning crew chief!!!! He was chief on the 70/71 Indy Champ Al Unser.
WOW! I further found out that Parnelli won the Indy 500 in 63 and as a part owner in 70 and 71 and the USAC championship from 71-73.
I think when I mail the panel I will get Jim Autograph too on something else.
WOW what a day!!
