really only one big change, but it's huge. We've moved the truck.
It was great working in Clayton's shop, but the commute down and back was long and only being able to work on it one day a week was making things slow, so after discussing it with Clayton and the aforementioned Rory, we decided to move the truck to Rory's shop in Ellington. This is great because now it's only a 20 minute drive to the shop and we've got guys in there almost every day of the week. Rory, having already been to Mexico for the 1000 is also a desert racing expert, and he knows exactly what we should and shouldn't be doing.
So we got the truck into Rory's shop Monday of last week, and since then it's been an almost non-stop teardown. We still haven't started the cage, but we have taken out a lot of other stuff. Both sway bars are gone, everything associated with the heater or air conditioner are out, rear shocks, radiator, that K&N air intake, the hood, tires, fan, exhaust, well you get the idea. Now there's a big pile of stuff in the garage at home that I need to take to the junkyard and try to sell. Rory thinks we've got a few hundred bucks worth of working stuff. Maybe even a grand. So that's certainly a good thing.
Meanwhile, we need to make sure we're ready for Speedway Expo at the end of the month. Between last year and this year they've given us about two grand worth of free booth space, so they're pretty much our biggest sponsor right now. Which means we need to make sure we bring the best display we can. I also need to check with sponsors American Racing and BF Goodrich to make sure we've got the wheels and rubber to show off at the Expo. Good ol' Ranger. Always keeping me busy.
As always, thanks for reading, dudes.
