    WOW i just got back from the third leg of my summer vacation.

    leg one was bonneville. i had the honor of helping hooley with his 53 stude that he set a record with. WOW that was fun. we got some great video of various runs and unfortunately i had to be back to work while he set the record.

    leg two was the HAMB drags. it was my first HAMB drags and i didn't quite know what to expect. i do know that it exceeded any and all expectations that i did have. i got meet a whole bunch of HAMBers that i won't (can't) name at this time but you all know who you are. the best part tho was hearing my name called for the HAMB drag engine. i have to thank Ryan, Freddy, Glenn (Federal Mogul), Metalshapes, and especially Glen. Ryan for putting this board and the drags together. Freddy for building the engine together. Glenn for donating the parts for the engine. Metalshapes for hand making the bitchin air cleaner. finally Glen for haulin the engine back to the phx area for me. the reason glen had to haul it was they wouldn't let me take on the airplane as a carry on! at the drags i mentioned the i was going to put it in my 48 but i've changed my mind. i'm going to put it in a 29 model A tudor.

    and finally leg three. i flew to Connecticut for a family reunion. all in all i was gone for three out of the last four weeks. i had a blast the whole time and i'm do back to work (reality) fri.


    thanks to all

    later jim
