Rob,

Your genuine affection for kids makes you a hero in my eyes ! Bravo, Grandpa !!
I have always said it, They are the next generation who will take over this wonderful hobby of ours.
 
And things just got better. Everyone in camp except Wendy and Myself knew that Will and the Grandkids were showing up. What a Great surprise. For 3 days all they wanted to do was drive the race truck. Will trailered his 60 and is was Awesome wheeling together. Some exciting race news happening and I will get it posted this weekend I will say we are off for Johnson Valley this friday ( Just not racing )

What a weekend. 2 weeks ago I was contacted my Mickey Thompson tires and asked to do a photo shoot in Johnson Valley for the company. Friday we had perfect weather and for 3 hours they had me staging the 45, doing video runs in some sand washes and drone shots. I have No idea where this is going I am excited that our Team and sponsors will be more exposure. Had a Great weekend of camping and watched a UTV race saturday. No @Bear they didnt bring any models LOLOL

Took a break and went to the Relic run in NC. Got to hang out and camp with the Grandkids. It was Awesome catching up with Cruiser friends we hadn't seen in years. I was asked to go wheeling Saturday then Peyton said Grandpa you want to draw Unicorns. I can always go wheeling. Great Event. Awesome people and family

Thursday night, I got to camp at Dave's ranch in Johnson Valley. Bailey Cole was there, and he told him to load up the ULTRA4 Race simulator. Get ready to have your mind blown Dave said. Yes, in the program is now an FJ45 Truck you can race KOH. Yes I was blown away so cool.

At least the 45 is right color 😉 It looks like it could use some suspension work. Maybe you could advise them on this.

This was the stock option. There were 3 versions Stock, Modified and Unlimited. I should have gotten pictures of them.
 
We are officially registered for the Freedom cup race at Glen Helen raceway July 12-14. Truck prep is almost done. Leaving Friday with the 45 in tow to Marlins memorial Saturday. Then a week at Valley Hybrids. If you make the Valley Hybrids Swap meet 6/8 we will have the 45 there also

We made it to Marlins memorial what a day and it was nice to see so many friends and family. Kay Spector was excited to take a ride in the Race 45. The following week was spent at Valley Hybrids working with Garrett. The swap meet was huge and we raffled off one of my Rookie cards.

Excited to announce we will be working with REDLINE Land Cruisers. Justin and his Team working with Valley Hybrids will be installing and tuning a new Holley Sniper kit on the 45. I've got some big plans for next years season.
