Hi ken we actually know each other through stock car racing Jimmi Wiersma and I have had cars since the late eighties .We are still running and are putting together a new Port-City crate late model second one in two years last one had three races on it and was destroyed at delaware don't have to explain that one to you LOL you been to that track .So that hobby consumes a good deal of my time as you know.We stopped building our own chassis because we couldn't make them as fast as we are using them up and being in our fifties it takes us about a month to do some thing we used to do in a night. Couple that with the fact neither of us can see and both are in denial at this stage when it comes to reading glasses she makes it pretty tough not to mention the beverages that may be consumed. Racing supposed to be fun right? When you get back we will get hooked up I would like to see what your working on. I have a fair amount of equipment in my shop as well so between us we should have it covered maybe if we got organized we could hold a south western ontario meet and Ken can drive down to us in the banana belt lol

Good to hear from you Chris. Jimmy Wiersma I consider a very good driver who has done a lot with very little. I always respect the people who can make things work without a big budget. Most of my life I had to make do with less than the front runners and always made my cars work better than most. That is what we have on this web site is a bunch of guys making tools and parts that they cant afford to buy or no one makes. What a joy it is to see someone on this site make a tool and I look at it and say that is exactly what I need to do the job at hand. Contact me in Florida at 863-419-7989 and we will talk. Maybe I can give you some info on your race car or we can just shoot the breeze. Lord knows racers never run out of things to talk about.
Kenny
