    We get vehicles in often with "rodent damage". Usually covered by insurance.

    I have found build sheets stuck in the lower seat cushions, under the carpet, and folded into a tight little bundle within the dash wiring behind a cluster.

    The Studebakers always have a good turnout for the FAST Drags @ US131 in May and the PSMCDR Drags @ Stanton in September. Usually 7 or 8 of them. Also every year @ the MCACN in Chicago in November. One gentleman used to bring his supercharged red Lark on the back of a Studebaker flat bed truck.

    We went to the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags at Stanton. Got to push a Blue Chevy II in the staging lanes! Another checkmark on my meager bucket list.

    Jon; We hope that was not your employer that closed up all of a sudden this week?

    Hey Thomas; We tried to go to US-131 today. Since it was raining, we went to the Gilmore instead. If they reschedule FAST I will see you there, or Stanton later on.

    We went to the AirZoo last summer. Had a good time also. Possibly going to the KZoo Toy Show in a couple weeks. First time since 2019. You might want to get an I-Pass or EZ-Pass before your trip. My I-Pass works in Ohio & West Virginia.

    We had lunch today at the Okemos Exit, #110 on I-96. There were 2 Consumers Energy trucks at Culvers & at least 8 more at the Best Western. Probably started in Jackson and drove till they found an exit with power/shelter/food/fuel.

    Kirk; Down here in the Capital City I have 6 inches of snow, plus drifts. We just got ours all cleaned up. The air temp is 6 above, windchill is 19 below. Wifey asked if we were doing the neighbors walks with the ATV this time. I said it was too cold, they are all way younger than us.

    First off = THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. This reminds me of the quonset huts we had at MSU, finally tore down the last ones to build the Breslin Event Center for Spartan basketball. Won't the metal conduct cold & noise? Still looks good!

    Thomas & Chris; thanks for the hospitality last weekend. We enjoyed our four hour tour on Friday afternoon. Got to the Philo Tavern for fish dinners right at 5PM. The wife got to sit in the Formula Ford racer, and then see Bob Ross, James Dean, and Jim Davis on the way home. Thanks for...

    I am planning on Philo in June & Stanton in September. I have a good friend who races a "Clone" L-79 at Ubly & Onondaga often. I have spectated a couple times. Not as good as Stanton however.
