I must be getting old. Loving the new daily driver.
This is the average mpg. Not the instant!

Oops New daily needed some work!
Timing belt and the dmf was rattling.
It’s actually easier than they look.

New daily driver. 2013 VW TDI. A few minor modifications to it. 😁 hoping to get 50+mpg compared to my 94 Chevy @12 mpg. Plus heated seats and steering wheel will be nice too!!

Had a little classroom time today, learning some SFI stuff. Then we got to cut up some cars. Thank you to all who came out to learn and teach us this stuff. Even though I am not on the front lines in an accident at the track, it’s good stuff to know and practice! We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. I am so proud of our safety team and the skill they all bring to the table! It makes my job so much easier!

Just want to say thank you to T.C for dropping off 10 used slicks for the raceway! Those will come in super handy! However we need about 90 more used slicks for the drag. You can drop them off or we can figure out a way to come get them!

Well it’s official! I passed the SFI test. RJ did too so we have two more tech inspectors at the track this coming year. Hopefully we can get a few more team members to take and pass the test too. I’ll be shadowing Randy and Bill this year to learn all I can.
