Future progress i guess. That old Army airfield N.W. of us started regular drag racing events. Watched a pair of electric Teslas run, nah....fast yes, but just dosen't do anything for me. I need the ground pounding sounds and smells😁
I don't think I mentioned it here (think my internet was out), but our long time PPG paint and materials dealer closed after a bunch of us smaller body shops closed in 2014. He moved to Salina ks where he got a job as care taker of a large car collecters inventory. He quit last summer as his wife with MS couldn't take the cold winters anymore. He moved to Florida and 2 weeks later by chance and an ad in the paper, got a job with Don at his museum as it was opening back up. It's a 20min drive from home. He said it's great working there, and he gets to work/upkeep on the cars. Says he has met a lot of the old time racers that stop by.
