Wasn't going to go to the vintage races today because if the heat but glad I did. I was lucky in the charity lap line and got to take a ride in a 1974 Porsche 911!
Getting in.

I bet that was pretty cool!

Put a new (used) stock fender back on my XR650R and also some new turn signals. Well, it turns out they are not in a good spot. At least I noticed before it caught fire.

I bet that sounds nice. My truck cam is mild but just a small rumble at idle. 206/212 duration @.05", 0.486/0.489 lift. I built it for torque, it's basically stock except the cam and quench set to 0.028".
I want to build another engine some days

He couldn't go full race mode but was still awesome! I love the that older Porsche design. An early 80s mildly tricked, wide body, whale tail would be one of my top 10 "if I hit the lottery" cars.

Mine would be a Dusenberg. Dont care the model! 32 valve DOHC strait 8. How could you not like that!

Storm rolled through this morning.
Tornado touched down 10 miles northwest of me last night.
High winds today. Been without power for 12 hours now.
Did some cleanup at my place, parents and their neighbors.

I knew there was a good chance it wasnt going to work out. The old fender had them up higher out of the way. I should have went with a flush mount signal to begin with. If it wasnt the heat that killed it then a tree branch would have in time.

Everyone ok? Damn, tornados suck.

We had a tornado miss the house by literally 50-100 feet in 2010. Tore down 80% of the trees on my property. Took a piece of barn tin and slamed it into this oak behind the house. Left it in there as a reminder of how amazing these things are and how lucky we where.
