What to do when not boating

[specialk]

I would like to say I do this every weekend when not boating, but I only manage to get to the track a few times a year.

Here is my Cobra going around Hallett Speedway.

I probably should have been boating since the temps were at 100 degrees.

Also do I need to "embed" the video?

Last 7 years or so, I have drag raced. I drove a 7 second altered in nostalgia events. Gave it up this year because insurance wont pay if you die in a racing crash...
Here's a vid from my 7.56 pass at the march meets in '09:

Turn on your speakers!

When not on the boat - coaching baseball, playing softball, playing golf, saltwater fishing, hunting, woodworking, customizing kids power wheels, and the list goes on. I have way too many hobbies.

Lol at the BMW helmet. I have a supercharged e36 M3 that I have done a few track days with. But I am actually going to sell the car now I don't have the time and money to do both hobbies any more ( boating and tracking a car or bike). And I can enjoy boating with a lot more people.

Fixed my original one too

Customizing Power Wheels? Post some pics, sounds interesting.

Cool stuff. RJ and I ride our motorcycles up here. I live in motorcycle heaven if you like mountain roads and gorgeous scenery. I normally put 2k miles a year on my bike, but now I have my buddy RJ riding with me, got his permit and a bike. I have put on 4k since he got his permit in April. We are working on a way to document roads we love, and a site for that, here is my first test. Should have it dialed in in a week or so.

This is one of our favorite sections on Hwy 70 along the feather river, one of the branches that feeds our lake. This is me on my Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster.

I did the 2 day BMW M driving course, and much to my suprise, at the end of the course they let you keep the helmet. Pretty cool helmet, but I do get a little odd looks wearing it and driving the Cobra. Of course not enough to make me want to shell out 400+ for an another helmet.

Oklahoma, here is a link to one I re-built.

Buy them cheap on Craigslist and custom build. This one has new motors, bumped from 12v to 18v, traction bands added to the front wheels, LED headlights/tailights, Pink underglow LED lighting, cooling fans and heat sinks for the motors, new paint.

We have 4 different Power Wheel vehicles in the garage, all have been modified with lights and power boost of some kind or another. My kids all know how to power slide and do do-nuts - they love it. My wife says I am addicted to it. Recently a lot of my time has been focused on modifying the Tige, so we ride these less now.

I have way to many hobbies just like everyone else. I was a professional music for 7 years, and then the wife asked me to lay off the touring and actually get a day job so I could be home more often. So I finally used my undergrad degree and got a day job. BOOO! However, I still moonlight here and there. The pictures below are when I opened up for Charlie Daniels when he was in Reno last fall.

Besides music and heading to the lake every weekend I play a lot of softball, WORK way to much, ride my Ducati Monster and KTM 525. To much to choose from.
