The offseason has gone by way to quick and the 2010 season is upon us shortly. My ride still likes some extensive work to be completed, I’m not really for sure when I’ll be able to get it out of the garage this year. You see, I guess secretly I’ve been a blue oval fan and wanted to build something quiet different than others have in this part of the country. Practically anyone can build a bowtie car…but when it comes to a late model Ford products, well, there’s just not that many of them around…and we’re not talking about mini-stocks here.
Dirt track auto racing has it’s ups and downs. It is expensive to build a new car from the ground up, expecially when you change from Chevy to Ford…what was I thinking. But hey, it will be one sweet ride when it’s done, if I say so myself.
As I look back over the last couple of months, I think I’ve been somewhat amused with all of the rumors that have transpired about the local racing situations. Gosh, there has been so many other things to do during this time, that I haven’t really focused on the building the car. I mean, first there was the Boomer Motorsports/Sooner Racing Products Expo and auction in November. Then of course, December brought the holidays, but who cares about them right? Then there was the Shootout in Tulsa along with the Chili bowl a couple of weeks later. Now it’s the end of January, so it’s time to get serious about working on the car. I hope everyone is working on theirs and will be ready for the new season.
