Owen's right.

I'm having my fair share of hardship this year, had to close my business, a close friend passed away, no money to speak of...some days I want to race, other days I wish none of it was piled up in my garage. I hate tripping over all this crap sometimes.

But then I think of the fellowship I have had with racers from all over the midwest. Ya can't buy that!

It's okay to take a time-out as it were.  But don't quit.

I thought i was done last year....raced others mowchines this year at a few races, built more stuff for racers than any other year, and now im coming back next year. Like others have stated....let it cool and then check back in.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

   Jeremy, ...hang in there big guy, step back, take a long deep breath and relax. Maybe take a break for a while. The same happends to all of us. I have thrown in the towel(amongst other things that I launched thru the garage wall) 5 or 6 times this year....just can't seem to catch a break in life this year.  What keeps me together is my local fellow racers, who have become our close freinds & family. They come to the rescue and keep my sanity before I go "postal."

Chin up Dawg!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Got on youtube and been watching some videos kinda re sparked my fire. I guess I'll start back building soon as I can find some wheels and tires that I can afford to get this heavy beast off the bench and on the ground. Once again thanks,  y'all stopped me from doing something I would have probably regretted later on.
