    James,
    After working nights for 4 months straight,and spending every free second working on the car,I am now doing damage control with Mama,and getting a nursery built for "The New Guy".
    He should be here right around the first week of October:)

    I think I'm gonna take my sweet time now,and just have this thing ready for springtime.

    Want to apologize for registering last minute, being a pain in the ass, and then not making it. The dog got sick right before we set out to leave and we ended up having to have him put down, took it out of us for that weekend. However, the 57 is ready to go for next year, and the 54 is going down the road for a 56 to build for next year.

    Thank You every one who helped put on this event. :) (Had a great time) meeting hambers.

    Had the most fun Friday night (sharing Wisconsin Cheese) and drinking wine.
    Set a new record that night (two big bottles of Wine + some clear stuff + beers ) with no hangover and didnt pee
    untill next day.:) (it was Hot and I had a powerfull thirst).

    The car and I did not run well in the heat but that did not matter. still had a blast.

    Cant wait for next year:)

    James:

    You were running a 409 car at the Meltdown Drags.

    HOW BAD COULD THAT REALLY BE.....? lol!

    Seriously though,sorry you couldn't track down the gremlins in time to make pass at 100%,but I was just glad you made it out at all.
    It was great to see you again,and hopefully next year we BOTH have all the bugs worked out of our cars and can have a blast out there!

    Salty-

    Thanks for sharing the cool pictures of Eric and I.

    Any chance you got any pictures of me lined up with Scott....oh...sorry Scott!

    On a serious note Salty, it was great to meet you and see that 409 car run. You made some nice improvements over the weekend and put on a great run on Sunday.

    I am going to try and get the Okie put back together here shortly and get at least one more run out of her before the season ends and I start the winter projects on her.
