Real proud of my sis-in-law, who ran her second Boston Marathon in a little of 5 hours. We cheered her on at the finish and then got her liquored up at a celebratory dinner afterward, as she was definitely really starting to hurt. She also managed to raise over $7k on donations for Dana Farber Cancer Center...

Very carnival like atmosphere at the finish with the crowds cheering everybody on.

congrats! Great job on the fund raising!!! Thats torture on the body, hope she recovers quickly!

Why? And where's the story of the PCA AX?

arrutled · 05-03-2010, 10:44 AM

PCA event was poorly organized IMO. timing problems. course designers first course. but eventually I got to drive the car and rip it up. I managed to stay on course every time unlike some folk. they have not posted results so I cannot compare really. Will give results when sent.

subframe bushings and control arms yesterday. lots of laying on your back work.

Very cool. That would run all of our steam engines very nicely. The bigest one that we have is only 100 HP.
