While it seems redundant to say it, part of cheap racing is doing things...cheaply!  Take shock absorbers, for example.  Sure, we could have splurged and spent the exhorbitant sum of $20 or even $30 per shock  for new, but that wouldn't really be in the… more »

I am a bad blogger.  My brother set this blog up for the Tunachuckers and we had a handful of people who checked this thing semi-regularly.  And then, like that...it was gone.  After last September's race the blog fell into disarray.  Spam.  Hackers.  Ev… more »

So, I didn't get too much of a chance to update this over the weekend.  Friday morning we rolled out of bed to inhale some bacon, eggs, and coffee and get the car ready for tech inspection.  In years past, we'd always flunked the first time through tech.… more »

Wow.  Here it is, just a couple of days before race day.  Today after work the Tunachucker shock-troops of LeMons South Fall will be decending upon CMP with our car, gear, and ubiquitous and difficult to assemble car port.  The truck is packed and the ca… more »

A quasi-clever friend of mine once said, "Vegetables aren't food.  Vegetables are what food eats."  Thinking back on this particular fellow's general level of intelligence, I'm betting heavy that he wasn't the originator of that little bit of wit.  Nonet… more »

Well, one important item has been crossed off the list.  Meat!  We have Meat!  Pounds and Pounds of Meat!  We will be grilling hamburgers, hotdogs, London Broil, and chicken.  We'll have crock pots full of BBQ and chili.  Basically, if its dead, we'll be… more »

Some of you may have noticed this creepy character who calls himself "Waterwolf" and lurks among us. I have no idea who this nutcase is, but today he (she?) sent me a recommendation for a book that the team should read:From Waterwolf:The book is… more »
