Well, wife and I are moving full time to Arizona. Sold the restaurant and property. 25 years here for my wife, 8 for me, 10 year run for the pizza restaurant, sold it to our cook and his family. Should be good for many years to come.
Heading out to travel in our new RV for a couple months. Have a PCA DE at Road America mid-June. Then off to northern Minnesota for a couple weeks, then to the Black Hills of South Dakota for two more. Then down to Denver to the High Plains Raceway for another PCA DE mid-July. Then to Durango to try out our new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock thing.
Bought a new DE car from my good friend Paul. He's been my car supplier for a number of years. Will probably sell the '88 924S Spec car I built, according to my wife. Here's a pic of the beauty, a 1983 944, corner balanced, throaty exhaust, roll bar, extinguisher, other stuff.

When you get to South Dakota do yourself a favor. Stop at Sioux Falls and see the waterfalls. About 5 miles from i29 and i90. My wife and I stopped there last September and stayed 3 hours. |

Congrats on the sale!
Will catch up with you once you make it down here, although yesterday it was 115F in PHX, so I would not be in much of a hurry.... _________________ 1987 924S SPEC car

Congrats on the car. You might do something about that intake....sucking hot air off the radiator. _________________ Toofah King Bad
