Post #8:

Okay....so as of earlier today, 8/13/2016, my new Mobsteel/Detroit Steel Wheels Company wheels should be on their way to me from Detroit.  I'm so excited, I cant wait to get them!

In the mean time I think I'll do some blast from the past post(s), and relive my old enduro racing days, which were some of the most fun I've EVER had. Rich knows what I'm talking about!  Rich made it it possible for me to even enter a car in those enduro races!  I owe him BIG TIME!

Here's my enduro car (a 1970s Chrysler Cordova) shortly after I bought her from a co-worker and countless hours of help at Dick's Speed Shop getting her in race condition.  This picture was taken by my Dollface while at the track for the car's 1st trial run (even Dollface drove her a few laps!):

Here's a pic of the official Team 54 car after she was fine tuned and painted over at Dick's Speed Shop (If it wasn't for Dick's Speed Shop, this would never have happened!  Thank you Rich!):

Here's a pic of her on the track for the 1st time:

So, much fun!  There were countless hours of wrenching and many Miller Lites were sacrificed. Lots of fun and strategizing while we tailgated before each race.

Who am I kidding, it was eating burgers and dogs and downing some Miller-Lite-courage! I'll never forget how much fun we had and how much I learned in the process! R.I.P. Maxx! Thank you Liz for all the video taping and publishing you did!

Here's a pic of her after her second race (she sustained a few war wounds):

On the topic of enduro racing.....maybe one day me and my King brothers will eventually do the Baja 1000 like we've talked about (hint, hint!).
