Since our most recent dwelling doesn’t have an attached garage, it is very difficult to warm the building and/or work in the building during the winter. With the “storm of the century” bearing down on us, I’d have to leave all my heaters on for two days to get it comfortable enough that my [...]

Having just moved from FL, I had no idea it would be so cold, for so long. No wonder people are so excited about the summer time.
Where I was at before – it was racing all year long. It was still too cold to really think about risking breaking car parts [...]

Crazy, but I just bought foam from a craft store and it cost $26. Couldn’t believe how much it was considering it was only 18 inches long and 4 inches thick. It should be plenty to put on the bottom of the racecar hood so that we can set the hood on the [...]

Even though we weren’t racing, Dad and I had alot of fun inspecting the car and reviewing our current setup.  Made some interesting discoveries of things that are not functioning properly, things that need to be updated after 6 years of nearly idle rest.  I say nearly because we definitely took the car out for [...]

Well, I was going to be pretty excited to get my new RacePak this weekend.  I was led to believe the kit that I ordered would be tested and packaged to be sent by the beginning of this week, giving it plenty of time to get here all the way on the right coast – [...]

Silly title, I know.  But I don’t know whether the weather will cooperate this weekend or not.  We will be racing at Mason Dixon this weekend and the weather forecast is for cloudiness some of the day, and that will be following 2 days of rain.  Also, it will be in the 40’s in the [...]

Well, not much going on at the track for Leese racing. But we are moving the operation back to Maryland. Moving a racecar operation is expensive, so we’ll just have to see if there is any money leftover to run. If there is, we will race with the outlaw Pontiac drag series most likely.

Man, it has been such nice weather out there lately, it DEFINITELY feels like racing weather.  We haven’t prepped the car yet because we are considering moving to a new town this spring.  If we end up spending $3K on moving, it seems like racing will get prioritized out.  Pretty much a bummer, but that [...]

We are very excited that the holidays are coming and that means a new year and a new season.  We haven’t had to do too much to the car, thank goodness, so we have just winterized it (put extra air in the tires) … living in florida, there isn’t much risk of busting a freeze [...]
