Race Thunderhill Prep

We just returned from the family vacation. An awesome trip to the Northwest. Thank you Z-Mom, Z-Dad and the rest of the family.

 Now it is on to business. This Saturday, August, 22 a work part will be assembled to prep the cars. I will also work some of Sunday. Stop by for food, beer and wrenching. Then, to help keep us on track, I have developed this work checklist.
