I'm stoked for next weekend! SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!!

 

It's this coming Sunday at Speedworld, just outside of Phoenix. Don't miss it!

 

I hope you mean SUNDAY?????

 

Looks like we will be coming down to play! Where is the best place to get a reasonable room close by? Someplace truck and 24' trailer friendly.

 

Doh! Ya, it's on Sunday.

I corrected myself above.

 

Here ya go:
If you have any problems with lodging, just search for motels, Grand and Bell Rds, Surprise, Az ....7-8 miles from track.

Is there anything going on in the greater Phx area Saturday afternoon/evening? I was planning to drive up Saturday and spend the night.

 

Jim, there's a pretty large cruise night on Bell @ 67th ave. (west side)
It's in front of Kmart, behind Mixteca Mex food .
Come hungry, and have cocktail and a taco or two on the patio..Fun place!

 

Don't forget to stop by and say HI at the H.A.M.B. hospitality booth down by the car show...

 

Not sure if anything is going on Saturday, but I'll be thrashing to get the truck and the mini bike ready. You and anyone else for that matter is welcome to come hang out, drink beer, and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

 

Can we point and laugh too?!

 

^^^^

Yes! Without question. I could use some serious abuse so I know exactly how bad I screwed up... BTW Chip, I missed you by a few seconds today at AJS... I started working there Monday.


PS to follow the drama... check out my latest "I screwed up something" thread...

COOL MAN COOL!!! I'm in there all the time!

 

Got the truck worked out so thats outta the way... now I just gotta make this silly little bike work today.

 

Bumping this up to the top 'cause tomorrow is the big day!!! I just talked to Spike a bit ago, and I unfortunately am not going to make it this time around. Between F****ing up my back in near Biblical proportions last week and catching a cold yesterday working in the rain to catch up, I just can't do it. Have fun everybody, and I'll see you all at the spring nats!

 

I'm up in chandler at my son's place, we've been setting up his new little lathe....hauled in up in the 55. heck of a lot of rain between tucson and casa grand. Hope it's nice tomorrow!

 

suppose to be sunny and a high of 60, should be a good day see ya folks out there.

 

Frost on the pumpkin this morning. gonna wait a little bit and see if the ice melts so i can wipe the car down.

 

Not a cloud in the sky and warming up fast out here!

 

It's a beautiful morning gang! Everybody have a good time!

 

One last time!

 

Rad time, as always! You missed out Chip, hope you're feeling better.

 

Great day. Thanks for the hospitality Spike. See you guys soon I hope !

 

Mucho action!

 

Pit-shine.

























And... STOP!

 

Thanks from me as well for everything! The weather ended up participating with us perfectly.

 

Looks like I missed the good time! I'll be back next time out though, promise!

 

Thanks once again to Mark, Spike and crew for putting on a fun race.

I got tied up with some business in town and got there late. I missed the first round of eliminations so I made afew passes in my heap for time only.

 

Thanks to all braved the cool weather and came out to support our event,

It ended up being a beautiful sunny day. The cars sure liked the weather conditions quite a few people told me they were running their best et's ever. There were quite few new cars racing I had never saw before. Anyone know what that orange 37 Chevy Gasser ran? I never got a chance to see it make a pass.

My daughter Stephanie did me proud for her first time down the track, she went 3 rounds in the 1/8th mile Flag Drop competion running 8.13 @ 86 MPH in drive, she was having a blast, fist pumping during her run and all.

I'll post some more pics as I recieve them
