Made a resolution that I wouldn't make any more additional entries to this blog until the workspace was in order. Well that's not going to happen anytime soon! I'm at my most creative in the middle of a shite storm, I suppose.

At any rate...it's time for another flask of coffee. It's Monday 2:39 PM and I'm still comatose. It's a good thing that I don't have a real job or I might actually have to be awake.

Read the results of the Thingie Proxy race held at Ezio Scisco's track in Turin. Really terrific stuff. The North American's with our fancy schmantzy Shinodas are taking a royal spanking at the hands of the Euros and the Brits but that's not surprising. I was floored at how well the Italians, Czechs, British, Spanish, Maltese etc tuned and drove their 1/32 scale Open Eurosports on tight, flat cornered tracks back in 1988 when I returned racing slot cars after an 18 year hiatus. North Americans went in the opposite direction (can you say Wing car?) and have subsequently reshaped the tracks and rules to fit the speed at any cost mentality. Too much testosterone for my tastes.

Anyhooo, going to have to find my soldering iron if I'm going to get anything done before the sun goes down.
