Nascar in New England

I went to the race at New Hampshire Int'l Raceway over the weekend. We brought enough clothes this time as we froze last year. The weather report was for rain showers all day. On the drive to the track it was raining but when we got to the track it wasn't raining. It was cool though so we put on all the clothes we brought. The weather slowly improved all morning and by race time the clouds were breaking up and the sun was shining through. It was hot now. Very little wind. The race made it within 15 laps of the end when it finally started to rain and the race was called. Nothing new as Tony Stewart was winning and stopped for gas just before the rain and ended up 13 th. Of course Jr. got wrecked late in the race as usual too. Kurt Busch won.
I put gas in the El Camino and found that the fuel gage works. I figured it did as I remember it working many years age. This weekend it should be in Groton for the final work to make it road worthy. There is new tires in it's future but other things have to happen in order to get them. The seats are still up in the air as a neighbor said he has a pair of buckets that will fit and will give them to me. But he has to find them or remember to find them. I got some in there from a Dodge Colt in the mean time.
