The staff of Grassroots Motorsports will be away until the new year. During this time, our office will be closed and phone calls and emails will be returned once we return.
This is a time for family and friends to come together, and each and every one of our employees will be taking time away from work to be with …

I'll be working on giving Tom's old Element culture shock as I bring it back to Nebraska for the new year. Hopefully it doesn't protest and demand to go directly back to FL immediately.
I don't have a project car to work on, but I do have too much time on my hands and a copy of Forza Horizon 5:
I've got 4 active project cars, but spending the majority of the time with my family.
I will also be spending time in the gingerbread garage:
Shout out to CoolCookieCuttz on Etsy, who sells the Model A and 1967 Mustang cookie cutters (among many others) for a very reasonable price. The Honda Element cookie cutter was a Tom special.
Plus the Porsche 911 needs some loving, too, as it's headed back to Radwood.
I have a list of things to do on 4 different vehicles, but alas I will be about an hour away from all of them over the Christmas holidays. Also way to cold to be working on anything tho.
We are a service company so we will be working Tues through Fri.
I somehow doubt we will be working hard though. I get pretty unmotivated to work during the holidays and that seems to transmit through the rest of the team.
Besides, we knocked last year out of the park.
Hitting the you pull it yards tomorrow, looking for deals on challenge parts!

I'm off all next week; I hoping to have the Rotax 494 installed and running in my Formula 500.
Also gonna get some BMX bike rides in while I'm off.
In reply to Tom1200 :

Here is a quicky shot of the slumbering bikes. The Mongoose, the RaceInc and my 1984 Fuji road bike. The barely visible bike on the other side of the Datsun is my 1993 Cannondale V2000 mountain bike.
Speaking of pictures, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be getting some goodies for my film camera for Christmas.
One of my new year's resolutions is to shoot more and post more.
In reply to Tom1200 :
Very cool. My dad used to ride a Fuji Royale from about the same time period.
