It’s always something …

Not working much on my own race car gives me more time for other stuff, like working on stuff around the house. But it means I’m not up under the car looking at things. So … a few days before a 3-day event, it turns out my rear pads are toast. And, to compound matters, I don’t have spares on the trailer. Bad team manager. Very bad.

So I’ve got new pads and new spare pads en route from two separate suppliers to two different destinations (shop & house), just to be extra sure I can actually drive at the driving event. UPS loves me big time.
