Big shout-out to โช@DCAutoEnhancementโฌ for their video on how to replace an oxygen sensor on a 2008 Hyundai Elantra... Saved a trip to the shop and another big repair bill by being brave and tackling the project myself...

Kinda proud overall, I've largely handled all the maintenance on my wife's car (I don't care that I'm the one driving it lately, it's still HER ๐... ๐)
Also... When in doubt... Breaker bar is your best friend...

Only because a few people have asked for the past few months "What's going on?" or "Why haven't you posted as often?" I figured to those of you who have been here for awhile, I could enlighten.
Back at the end of January, I was let go from my day-job as a Morning News Anchor at a radio station in Northeast Indiana and have spent a lot of the late winter/early spring in figuring out what was "next" so to say. Effective May 1st (beginning of this month) I officially became the Association Manager for the Fort Wayne Metro chapter of the United States Bowling Congress where I will be the main contact for scheduling tournaments/events for the organization, as well as overseeing the record keeping/other assets accordingly.
So, on that note... Some pretty significant changes in my personal life. Still got plenty of tapes to go through... I'm not going anywhere, but I am looking at starting new chapters on the figurative book that is my life.
Also, considering when I am writing this (May 20th, 2024) "HAPPY HIGH SPEED HOLY WEEK!!!"
If you are around Indianapolis this week, stay safe and enjoy yourselves.

For anyone in the Midwest portion of the United States who also enjoys the game of bowling, I'm taking my try at promotion of an event.
A fun "Throwback Tournament" on old wood lanes in a 6-Lane center in the basement of an old Catholic Church.

With it officially NASCAR Week in Indy next week (I'm not calling it "Brickyard Week" again until the Cup Cars return to the correct course at IMS) it also means Trucks come to IRP.
Of course, NASCAR 's history in Indianapolis actually began in the early 80's when the "Budweiser Late Model Sportsman" now Xfinity Series came to Indianapolis Raceway Park beginning in 1982 in the first edition of what was the "Kroger 200" which would run for 30 years. The last edition of the race was held in 2011.
Found a clipping online of the ticket order form to the 1985 edition of the race.
This was a cool find for a race that my Dad attended all 30 editions of, and I attended everyone from 1992 until it's end.

Some of you may have noticed, I have gone back and reposted some previously uploaded races. This is being done as I've had a chance to go back and re-digitize a lot of my collection with a better quality VCR for both picture & audio.
Still plenty of new stuff coming, just going back and cleaning up a few races for personal archive reasons.

Plenty of more tapes to go through as I'm finally finishing up (I think) the year that was 1995.
3 rows deep of unmarked & unlabeled treasure hunting to work through, plus the dated/labeled stuff from 1997-2001ish still all to work through...

Hey folks, quick update here...
Taking a minor pause from uploading/posting to get some files cleared off my external hard drive. I know in a lot of cases it's antiquated, but I'm trying to still burn ๐ copies of a lot of these races and it's a different file format (AVI) vs what gets saved & posted here (mp4).
Plus, busy stretch here with regular job and got some races to shoot between now through Memorial Day Weekend... Along with going to the "500" as I do each year.
New uploads will likely return in early June.
