Dude... lol, you have nothing on me. Right now, I have three saddles in my living room, a motorcycle parked in my foyer and a carburetor on my dining room table. That's all without looking. 
I have to admit, that's a really good place to keep the shell, it's out of the way so it won't come to harm and it is kept straight.

Right now my living room has the mocked up top end of a nostalgia fuel engine sitting on the floor, heads to hat. Beside it is the mag, another pair of valve covers, idler bracket and pulley, and new front runners. While moving, I just found a Polaroid of myself holding a BBC cylinder head, getting ready to put it on my first big block on a stand in the living room as a teenager. Some habits never die?
Married at 28, divorced at 30.
I remember a girl dumping me in high school. One of the reasons she gave was that she envisioned us living in a shack with a nice funny car sitting out front. I thought that was a WONDERFUL vision!
I bet a LOT of racers houses are looking like that this time of year! What the married ones might do if their wives would let them!
Someone tell me how to post an image like that.

Could be why I've been married 27 years...I have the racing room in the house and he has all his hunting/fishing stuff in the garage that is bigger than our house!!
Although his deer mounts are in the living room - do I like them there - uh, not really, but he is proud of them so what's the big deal!!

My mom let my Dad keep his Biondo Racing full sized Christmas tree in the living room of our house for a couple years. Then she got tired of friends calling late at night asking why we had a traffic light in our house.

And this is why ya strip them ALL THE WAY down... Cracked mounting bracket on the lower A-Arm support -easy fix, but could have been a incident waiting to happen..
Thanks for the compliment Karl- its got "guy" written all over it (but that comes off with WD-40)...
A friend of mine's bracket dragster started handling funny. We went all over it. He finally stood straddling the chassis just behind the front tires and pulled up on the top frame rails. Two uprights had come apart in the weld's heat affected zone but, the pieces sat against each other at rest so well that you couldn't see the breaks. I bet your cracked bracket was within 1/2" of the weld. I've heard that dragsters having cracking problems in the nose area isn't uncommon.

uh... no, no, no, no, no... shhhhh.
Actually, having the saddles inside keeps the leather in better condition. One of my saddles is about 18 years older than I am and still in very good condition. They stay cleaner & need fewer repairs over the years. Besides, I looooooove the smell of good leather. (yikes, I've been caught!)

Nope, but I'll be looking at that too- thanks Ron..
Mystery solved.... ET has been making the turnoff a little tight and driving the tire off the asphalt into the gravel. Bet he won't be doing that anymore...
