    Anyone who dislikes NHRA Safety Rules needs to HUSH... The Blue Vette in the center did not have a great day. As you see, he is getting ready for his run...

    This is how the car came back. The driver was fine. He got out of the car on his own and into the ambulance. He has bruises and banged up, but because of ALL the safety requirements, he walks away from this....

    Considering the SHITTY week I had last week, yes, we had a FANTASTIC time. Was great to get back out to the track, even though we weren't racing. lol

    Hey Ron and Maureen,

    Looks like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing all of the pictures. Yep, I should have come out.

    Early Sunday afternoon, I was laying on a table getting a bunch of little needles stuck in me...acupuncture for my wrenched back from work. First time with the needles and I am not sure if it really helped.

    I thought about calling you, but knew your crazy schedule doesn't work with last minute planning. lol

    Let's talk this week.
