Let the shows begin, and I’m still miles away from getting.. #badmanxbuggy back on the road again. ;-/

But things are shaping up, just if life would stop smacking us around and take a break.

Here is the latest update, and the body is getting ready to be dropped, or should I say set back down on the chassis.

Every NASCAR race this year is going to bring back memories of my Dad and the time we spent together; 4 weeks ago we were watching the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500… I would have stayed by his side, if I knew it was the last, can’t believe he is gone…

(Dad) Jim (Jimmy) Sommerville  and his mechanical expertise… re-wiring #BadManxBuggy Dad said “I can wire this up in my sleep!”… couple of our later, his brother Doug suggested he take a nap… A story I will cherish forever…
