Hi Tony, winter checks, just routine general check over of everything , keep the battery on a charge,put antifreeze into the system ( precaution for cold weather - so the block doesn't split with frozen water in the engine ).lube the chain , spin the wheels every 2 weeks or so and pump the brakes every so often.Thats pretty much it, as long as your garage is dry there shouldn't be any problem with anything seizing .I am hoping to get a trackday in before next year ( going to try and get into some televised events next year , hopefully Billy Boy will aswell ).How has your season gone on ? You will have to put your results on the kaka site.The American tracks look fantastic ( what i have seen the AMA using ) do you use the same circuits ?Are you going to the I.O.M in 2009 ? if so i will hopefully get over there to see Bill race and get to meet you.
All the best Jeff

Speaking of winter, right now im in Salt Lake City.
Two days ago in Northern Utah it was nearly a blizzard. Lots of snow and snow drifts.
I do not like winter.

Good news.My wife showed me the pictures of your house ( or should i say mansion ) on facebook.I would love a garage like that it's huge.,

Defintely no mansion. Original house was 888 square feet. With the remodel/addition, its about 2400 sqft.
Garage was oversized at 24x24 with my hobbies in mind.
The house just looks huge, space was used wisely in the design.

You should come visit us sometime

Do you use safety wire pliers or do you hand twist/needle nose pliers?

slowboy · **Posted:** Wed Feb 25, 2009 9:57 pm

I use lockwire pliers .They make the job so easy.
