After some teething hiccups yesterday, we roll off 8th in VFF for today's qualifying race at 5:20 p.m. Lots of speed on the table for this little delight.

Cheers Mike.

Cheers Michael, your car is a blast to drive.

However, your memory deserved better this weekend.
Your amazing Elden deserved better.

Paul Jay, the man who poured in two years of his life reviving your car, deserved better.

Sadly, we were let down by something beyond our control, and it won't happen again. Ever. I won't go into details, but some changes are on the horizon.

Your Elden is a ballistic missile, though, and I intend to get it to the front of the grid before long.

Red socks were worn while piloting the Elden, and many of your friends stopped by to talk about you and recount stories of your life- and applaud Paul on his efforts. That part of the weekend was a win.

Respectfully Yours,
Jacques

Michael's wonderful wife Lee messaged us on Wednesday and wished us all the luck in the world with her late husband's Elden. She mentioned that if it rains this weekend, Michael is thinking of us.

It rained on the way up.

Cheers Mike.

This weekend will be the first time since 2010 that I'll be racing a FF that isn't the Eagle DGF. Fear not- its having its engine perked up.

Faster things ahead.

In the meantime, take in the strange splendor that is the Elden this weekend.
