Hey Carlos, if you ever want a holiday, I need someone to tidy my yard – I can even provide one of those big leaf blower things. Ya think Ratto will give you some time off? Cheesy

Great Topic.  How long did it take you to write it Jim??  8 work hours?? hahahahahaha

My burn-out came after I had a bad accident.  I went against the wall at Terminal Island (Long Beach)  I had no money to re-do the car so I sold it and went on to other hobbies.  Hector Bonilla is the one that got me back into it.  The best part about getting back is that you get meet some great people...........yes yes Sarge that includes you and Ratto........
Where is Hector These Days?  I Sold Him The BRM's that are on his Car Years Ago Way before he was ever in DKP Hector and his Buddy Use To Cruise Everywhere together ( They Were The Lone Wolfs)  LOL  Back when he was Running a Kadron Motor he had another Friend with a 67 with Empi 5 Spokes but I forgot his Name

Hector is doing well.  He has been busy taking care of his parents and that is the main reason we don't get to see him that often...  I'm trying to encourage him to go to drag-day this up-coming sunday but apparently he has an issue with one of his carbs  Roll Eyes.  If he decides to go I will try to stop by his house and help him out.   

So, that is where those BRM's came from?? cool.  I think I know who you are talking about but I can't remember his name......  Cheesy Cheesy

Good topic Jim! as always......That burn out came like Jim said ....house, wife........family.....and I almost
forgot.......work! anyhow over those years I always had a bug...my 57 oval......started in the seventies with my brother and his friends into bugs........My first vw drag race was the old terminal island days....I enjoyed watching
the wheels off the ground and beating that nova or camaro....I got into the vintage thing real big in the early years of the golden gate chapter, bugin's drag days....and then racing a vw in my midget kept it going then after my 57 ran into a tree without a driver........I lost it for several years......then buying a new beetle in 98 for my wife got me working on my 56 .......We all need that break.....I never been into the group meetings somewhere, because there's always work or some family function......but it seems coming back over the years you always meet some good people.....
