Car show - originally posted 8/22/05
On Saturday, since I wasn't racing, I decided to put the car in the Marysville Sunrise Rotary's 3rd Annual Tulalip Casino Rod & Custom Show at the Tulalip Casino. It was a fairly good-size show with somewhere around 500 vehicles on display. I sent a lot of kids (and a few adults) away smiling after letting them sit in the car and may have sold one or two on the idea of inexpensive formula car racing. One guy offered me $100 to let him drive it, then said something like, "Christ this thing is filthy!" He won't get a drive... Yeah, it's not show car sanitary, but it's not a show car; and two-strokes coat everything with a fine film of oil that's hard to get completely clean.
All in all a fun day. Lisa came up and we wandered the show for a while. I plan on doing the show next year too, I'll work on a display beyond just the car.
