Tri-State Dragway here in Hamilton closed up just before I moved here. Was pretty bummed about that. It always gave me more of a home town feel compared to Edgewater.
Checked satellite view.. Looks like one lane was torn out completely so I doubt it will be back.
I've ran at Edgewater. My home track is Ohio Valley Dragway, I've driven to Michigan for a Saturn meet and ran at US131. Also went to Spring Hill for another meet, we went to Music City Raceway. Even with the blower, the car was super reliable. Only broke twice in the probably 15 years it was daily driven. Can't wait to get it back to it formal glory.

Dad dropped this off today , mustve been in his collection . Told me it needs to be on a black belt. It was neither his nor my truck . Not sure where he came up with it. Polished it up
That is the same paint scheme and trim package of my old girl. The truck in the picture is a 69 and mine is a 72, so the grill is different but otherwise same truck. Cool find!
Just a reminder that there has been at least one night this summer that hasn't been as smoky as cigar night at the pool hall. Taken from a lonely dead end road about 40 mi. south of Des Moines.
When first listening and tweaking you didn't seem too impressed with the GRS Fountek clone ribbon tweeters. Now that you've been listening to them for quite awhile, what's your opinion? Other than the AMTPRO-4 they are pretty much the most expensive Dayton tweeters, so I have a hard time pulling the trigger unless you think pretty highly of them.

I examined my toothpaste tube yesterday for some reason and noted the contents were listed as vegan friendly, sugar free and cholesterol free. Huh?!
This is up there with some other product labels s I've seen - and I'm not making this up - like cholesterol free bananas and organic water.
Built a platform bed frame for the mother in law. Got a foam mattress for it. Standard slab platforms don't do so well with foam as moisture builds up from perspiration and leads to mold underneath. Needs some air gap to dry out.
Just doctored up (sanded) 2x4s pocket screwed to 4x4 "whitewood" legs. Center spine is doubled up 2x4s lag bolted to the front and back. 1x2 cleats run down the 2x4s to support 1x4 slats. Probably $75-80 in wood (nowadays prices) for a "full" size mattress. This is my 2nd try at a dimensional lumber bed frame. After seeing how this worked out I'm thinking of adapting the design and redo our king size frame.
Steve, I love that track! I have tickets to see them Sept 7th, then fly to CO the 8th to play a music festival on the 9th. One of my best friends surprised me with tickets for us to go, because he knows what a freaking fanatic I am for them. I still really miss Sergey. Glenn
Early CTA, and Chicago with Terry Kath, and Danny Seraphine, put out some of my favorite music ever, but I think that Leonid and Friends are better at playing the catalog, than the Chicago of the last few decades. They are all just badass on a technical level, and they have incredible feel too. I really hope that they write, record, and release more of their own music. They've killed on Tower Of Power, and Deep Purple covers too! Glenn

When I was a kid my old may and I restored a 63 Falcon. He currently has a 62 Comet he has been restoring for the last couple years.
That's my home drag strip (Byron).

Mrs. JR is out of town from this morning until Thursday night. Guess it will be music, beer, and junk food for this boy!

AQI is in the 160s here today and yesterday. Pretty shitty.

Well built. Good job.
Second level deck can be put on hold for a few days.

New original from "Leonid and Friends" (Russian/Ukranians) -->

I am most jealous of your good fortune, Glenn!
They are all world class musicians who barely speak English, if at all.
Their cover work on Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire are phenomenal.
This is their first original and I think it is awesome - so much going-on and so well done in every respect.
