Congrats Derek, great to see your business continue to thrive.

Karting will continue to consume the majority of my time. My son made great progress last year and hope to continue that. Need to figure out schedule and primary tracks for the year and may try to branch out to tracks further away too. Went to Charlotte a couple times last year to one of the fastest and most competitive tracks in the country and that was fun. I need new dailies for both my wife and myself and have held that off since 2020 due to COVID and then the market BS. FD will get maintenance and hopefully some decent street miles, but I don’t anticipate any time or money for track days with it this year.

As Craig said you can definitely restore and race vintage karts. It’s not cheaper cause it’s older though. Oh and you’re right you won’t fit for shit.

Long shot, but anyone have a set of 4 235/45-17 all seasons? I need to limp my wife’s TL through one more winter before we dump it.

Bummer to see it go, but good luck with the sale

Bummer to hear but totally understand. Tim thanks for the throwback pics had both the old FD and M3 in there.

Ryan if you come across one let me know. If not I’ll mooch some off of Bob.

His book is worth a purchase and read. He’s hopefully still instructing at Mid Ohio, but I wasn’t up there last year to know.

My sister in-law bought me a small aging barrel for Christmas that I wanted to use with Weller Antique to make poor mans pappy. Unfortunately my current bottle of antique is too low and what was once readily available has now been bought up and hoarded. Anyone have a bottle of Weller Antique 107 they’d want to sell me for retail or close to?

Awesome work on the project and it came out great. Speaking of projects I have a bunch of empty bottles I’ve kept telling myself I’d use them for a project one day but never come up with any good ideas. I’ve used a couple for infinity bottles and will use one for making poor mans pappy. Outside of putting other booze in them, anyone have good ideas for them before I decide to get rid of them?

Of that list only woodinville and Wilderness Trail are the ones I’ve seen in Ohio. I haven’t had Woodinville but the Wilderness Trail is great for the money. They list Balcones bourbon which I haven’t seen here yet, but always recommend Balcones Texas single malt which we have here and is a really interesting drink and well worth the money.

Dang

Also forgot to mention for those out if Ohio shopping pick up Pikesville Rye if you find it $60 or less. Great rye for the money

Columbus has its own new variant https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/13/ohio-researchers-say-theyve-identified-two-new-covid-strains-likely-originating-in-the-us.html?&qsearchterm=columbus%20covid

Look for Elija Craig Barrel proof if possible. They get that and we don’t. Don’t expect anyone to have any allocated stuff on the shelf, but as Bob noted may be some cool store picks.
