In F1, it was the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend. I'll start writing reports again when someone other than Max Verstappen wins a race! The next one is in Miami in two weeks' time.

Well Sunday seems to be my new grocery shopping day for some reason. So I missed the race. Again. What a failure I am. Michael McDowell won the pole. Kyle Larson got penalized for an qualification inspection infraction. His car chief got ejected as well. He had to start the race with a drive through penalty. He did get his lap back due to being the only car a lap down.  In the end, Tyler Riddick won the race.
Chase Elliott finished 15th...

Great article Garrett. Thanks for sharing it. I really liked the picture with Bill in between Chase and Dale Jr.

SMH, The predicament my brother in law got himself into. Turns out they didn't roll the $5k into the new car loan so he is making 2 car payments a month, one for the totalled car. He asked me yesterday if my credit union does loans for for his predicament, I told him all he can do is try as I didn't know. I couldn't believe it. If he doesn't get a $5k loan quick he's going to lose everything. I can't wrap my head around how he got himself into this, my God. 

Nine things you may not know about Chase Elliott | NASCAR
Love the number ten. He won a race without leading a lap.  "He's just that good." LOL. 

I wonder if it will be a demolition derby like the Daytona 500 was. 

Sadly, probably will be. Which is why I don't like the restrictor plate racing. I'd rather watch racing the wrecks. 

LOL . . . well this better not be one of those times. You now got my hopes higher than the sky!
Though we are racing at Talladega this weekend. He'll have to avoid "the big one"  in order to win.  But you said, he's going to win the rest of the year. By golly...he has to win the rest of the year. LOL. 

Now the interior.  The Classic's side panels seemed best, except I liked some of the details on the Revel Cabriolet better.  Solution: graft the details onto the better panels.
The Classic's seat bottoms are terrific, but the Revell Cabriolet's seat backs are the closest to the real thing out of the 3 kit choices.  Again, graft them together.




 

Thanks for the kind words!
Got to splice the chopped door posts from the classic body onto the Super's convertible body.  Always better to cut and graft too much, then cut it down to size.  Then a bit of grinding and sanding to blend it all in.

Sorry you and your friend fell out. But glad you got the DVDs as well.
 

Cousin Roger Duke Uncle Jesse yep!

The Duke BOYS go to the BOARS Nest for BEER.

This is the best thing I've heard all year! 

Chase will win every race for the rest of the season now!

Good advice. There is nothing like having the DVDs. Then you are not at the mercy of the internet.

Good advice. There is nothing like having the DVDs. Then you are not at the mercy of the internet.

That's why we are a team. If one person doesn't think of something, someone else does.

You can buy episodes or seasons on Amazon prime, VUDU, or Apple TV+. But it would be far cheaper to pick up the complete series on DVD and get a good upscaling Blu-ray player that will convert the SD format to HD.

Happy Birthday Coy!! ( it's hard to believe!)

I forgot all about his birthday coming up. Shame on me.

Looks like Coy will hit the 70 mark in 2025. Until then he still has another year of being a young man. Happy 69th birthday on Wednesday cousin Coy!
