Will the last one here please shut the lights off?

I'm still here Ray, I just had a very busy month. Several exams and projects all rolling in at the same time. I've literally been studying or writing 8 hrs a day, as well as I'm trying to get into ASU's psychology PhD program (Neuroscience) and that's a very competitive process (interviews, letters of recommendation, improving GRE scores). I'm surrounded by cars and planes that are begging for some attention, but I just haven't had the time.

I've got the summer now, but as you know, Phoenix gets blistering hot toward the end of June through August and into September.  I'm going to finish my Ultimate, and I'm going to purchase another 1/5th scale car, in a few months. I'll post some pics up of the Ultimate when I'm finished, and hopefully I'll maiden it in the next few weeks.

I'm in the same boat as Dooz, I've been extremely busy. Quit my job at the weld shop about 4 months ago and run my own business now. My brother owns an automotive shop and I started working there at night and on the weekends 8 months ago. He also has a car dealers license and sells a car here and there in his spare time. He goes to a lot of insurance auto auctions and buys vehicles that have been totaled, then we strip the car of parts and sell all the parts on Ebay.

Anyway I started parting cars out and managing the Ebay store 8 months ago, and just got too busy with that, to work two jobs. I wasn't happy with some of the things going on at the weld shop so I quit. Plus I made more money parting cars than I ever would at that particular weld shop. My brother just built a new shop at his house, just for parting cars out and we've blown up the operation. I was working 40 hours a week and going to college part time, now since the semester is over I've been working 60-70 hours, 6 days a week and don't have much time to do anything else.

I did however go to the first race of the season last weekend and raced in stock short course and stock stadium. I did alright for not racing the past 9 months. Finished 10/15 in stock stadium and last in stock short course. My motor for my blitz in stock short course I think is toast, toward the end of each 5 minute heat it didn't have any punch.

I have my little machine shop built up so it is nice now.. Now I am looking for a project I can call my own. Ray
