Good and Bad

It’s Monday. Got together with a friend on Friday night and we went out to the Grundy County Speedway in Morris Illinois, for some short-track racing. We had a blast watching drivers mix it up in Late Model, Mid Am, Street Stock & Pure Stock classes. I still love Nascar, but all the rules and restriction take a lot of the fun out of racing. That’s definitely not the case with these guys! The races are quick, usually under fifteen minutes, and they move fast. Even better, it’s extremely inexpensive at only $12 to get in. We had a damn good time and hope to get back out there before the end of the season.

On Saturday I took advantage of the beautiful weather to Roll out the Vette and clean it up. My girlfriend used it a few days prior and managed to get it covered in gravel dust.  Got my tunes going and spent the afternoon in the driveway getting it all pretty again. After that it was time to get back out to Morris to grab some dinner and check out their Cruise Night car show. And what a show it was! It was packed with all kinds of automotive goodness and plenty of people there to check it all out. It was easily my favorite show this year and I’ll feature some of the photos I took later this week.

And then there was the bad. We lost a life-long friend of our family Sunday morning to pancreatic cancer. I don’t know what to say. This really sucks and it’s happening to far too many people. Not just pancreatic cancer but all forms of cancer.
