Not Ready Yet

Sometimes when people get use to something, they can’t live without it. For me, it is my family and some drag racing. Apparently for Angel Miles, it is the Wilkins Motorsports Blog. After motivation from her, the blog continues.

As the headline says and the picture shows, Wilkins Motorsports did not make the Division 9 opener at Farmington Dragway. Why, use ask? Well, it seems that Sandy has been quite busy this winter working on new engines and refreshing the old ones. He has been blessed with a steady work load in this not so good economy. He has the engine down for a little refresher and the transmission out for a large upgrade. Other than that, when the time will allow, he will get it back together in time for the spring races.

Let me tell you about our NHRA Winter Nationals experience. Well, that’s it! Me, Sandy and Chuck Chapman were scheduled to leave out Friday morning February 12. When we got to the Charlotte airport, the sweet lady told us that all flights into and out of Dallas/Fort Worth was cancelled. Apparently there was a foot of snow in Texas. I was trying to save us a little money by having a connecting flight and it bit my in the butt. I am still trying to collect money from the nice hotel in California. What did I learn from this? Book a direct flight next time.

As you can see in the picture of Sandy’s truck, everyone has gotten some snow this winter. I hate snow. Because of it, I got screwed out of seeing the Circus and having my boy’s birthday party. I’m not bitter, just tired of losing money. Back to the truck and trailer pic. Look at how nice the trailer looks with the new Chapman Auto Body colors. I can’t wait to see the truck and trailer at the track with the awning out and the sun bearing down on it. You want hear me complain about the heat this summer. Damn you Global Warming.

Now if you need a complete small block top end kit, Sandy has some components for sale. It has Brodix canted valve heads and a sheet metal intake. If anything in the picture interest you, give him call. Sandy has deals going all the time.

I want to congratulate Steve Corker on his win this past weekend at Farmington Dragway in Top Sportsman. His uses Wilkins power in his cars. Sandy and I hated to miss the race, but at least Wilkins Motorsports was represented. It was a beautiful weekend for racing. The Flea will be there soon.

I want to say thanks to Angel Miles for helping move the blog along. That’s why she is in a leadership role. Because when Angel speaks, people listen.
