Season Opener

[malex]

Can I borrow them too, when you're done? Lol. What's your best guess, pre-scaling?

I’m about 3150 less driver and no fuel. With the fuel cell full it weighs 3195. I’ll put it on a real set of scales in the next while.

Funny about starting things late. Friends talked me into playing Golf. Started 4 years ago at 66.

Haha. Sounds familiar.

And? How’s that going?

My "sport" was bowling. I was pretty good. 200 average righty, almost 180 lefty.
I tried golfing once with friends. Shot a 66 first time out at a three par, with borrowed clubs.




But it got dark after three holes, and I had to quit.

It started really ruff. Well? It's still ruff. My 15 grandson cracks off 250+ at times. I can hit it straight most of the time 180-200. Putting is pretty good. Chipping/piching, no so much. My goal this year is to break 100/18..

Grew up on the farm. My father had time to hunt and fish. Didn’t golf, said that was for townspeople and shopkeepers, some who had cabins at lake near the golf course.
Early in my career, we both worked and looked after the boys. Day after day . I would see some of the same cars it seemed at the course. We didn’t have extra time to golf.
I worked with guys that had time for men’s night and weekend golfing.
After which ever day it was, you would hear comments about (so and so) didn’t count all his strokes.
Doesn’t matter now anyway because I am not able to do it.

This has been a long time coming. I got it done today at the season opener at my home track in Pro class. Car worked flawlessly all day as well as setting new MPH & ET personal bests in testing. View attachment 1857433View attachment 1857434.

Congrats it looks flawless too, awesome deal/win...

You’re doing better than I ever could. I have golfed twice and it was years ago. My best was 82/9
Distance I would be embarrassed to know. If it’s anything like the rock that I threw at some geese that were shitting on my grass…. The rock made it about half the distance I was expecting and my shoulder got sore.

AND.. The fricking geese just looked at me. SO. I got out an old air horn that came off a fire truck and blasted them with 150 PSI. They sure screwed off then!

Sounds like you and I could have a good match!

A little off the subject, but we were in the Sturgis District School Division . At the time we had about 500 students, some bussed in from 40 miles away to High School.
I think through the 50’s onward we had some present students and past students killed in a car accident every year.
Sturgis was the first rural School Unit in the province to institute a driver safety course in 1962. Two of us already had our licence before the course in 1964. But if you took the course you would get a reduction in vehicle insurance.
The instructor used to work for our Government Insurance. Daryl and I would go with him. His instructor cars were a 63 Fury 4 door 383 auto and a 64 Fury 6 2 hdtp 3 on the tree.
One evening near the end of the course he had the 4 door. Said I don’t want you to drive like this. He brake torqued it and let it go. That was one impressive short ride.
Daryl’s comment (we can’t, our parents don’t have anything that fast).
We were the only two to get a perfect score .

Also off-track of the thread, but one of the cars used when I took driver's training was a green (what else?) 70 roadrunner. The instructor did not approve of my first attempt.
