Default Well, Its Gone

Whats left of #22 is on its way to Ohio right about now. To be resurrected with a new body up there.

I can't figure out how I feel about it. On the one hand I'm sad to see it go. On the other I feel like a burden has been lifted.
I'm not sure yet, but I think it actually feels good not to own a race car for the first time this century. This feeling is probably helped by knowing that I already have a ride secured for 2006.

Anyway, watch out Ruck. The little monster is now up in your neighborhood.

Think of it this way, now you get more time to work on the GRM 2006 challenge car and your autox car.

When I sold my Golf a few years back, I had similar feelings. I had spent so much time and energy building it and then making it competitive that it felt like a part of the family but I also gave it so much money that it felt good in way to see it leave.

It really hit me the next season when I saw it leave pregrid for the first time knowing it was no longer mine. Got a bit choked up for a few minutes.

Enjoy driving someone elses car especially if they do the 'tween race wrenching.

Sweet, more meat! Do you know where the guy's from?

I don't know how I'd feel about seeing one of our cars go but I think it might be happening sometime soon. I did have to take my original ITC car off to the scrap yard though - that wasn't much fun.

The 85? What happened? I don't remember it getting hit or anything at the ARRC but I was, ahem, a little distracted, helping out such as I could with two teams.

No, my original ITC car was another '85 Civic (we started out with two ITC '85 Civic's in 2000). I rolled and completely destroyed mine in June of 2001 - I only had it for about a year.

And thanks for giving me that place to race in 2006.
That has made the whole thing about 99.999% easier to deal with.

No problem at all. I'm glad I've got a bucket to offer you seat in for ECR's
