It really seemed that April just flew by. There was Chloe’s birthday, a trip to Vancouver Island to see Rose’s great aunty Rose for her 75th birthday, some union meetings, and then - BAM! Racing was thrown on us. With all of this going on, the Jr had to be put together, the Dart needed much attention, the trailer needed to be readied, and the MoHo needed to be cleaned, serviced, and hooked to the trailer.
With much patience from Rose, and much help from my students, it all got done. Jason from Red’s Performance came through bigtime with the transmission on the Dart and letting me use his hoist to do a few other things that it needed. The Jr Chassis was painted by Brandon at New Tech Collision and it looks great. It took a few late nights, but I got the engine assembled with all the new upgrades I got for it. My students helped out tremendously with getting it all put together and it was able to be loaded in the trailer a full 2 days before racing started. The Dart was still being cleaned up on the last day, and when I parked it inside the trailer, it still had some carb issue.
Justin, general helper and HRN enthusiast, was a huge help with getting the final details covered the night before we left.
Thanks to all of these people and many more, our first race weekend went off without a single glitch!
