Don’t listen to him, AJ. Kyle sold out and bought one of those wedge thingies! Apparently, buying an entirely new car was cheaper!

ChuckTAJ, are we going to see a Hemi powered IROC???

I took a ride out to Spitzer with Rich on Saturday. Cool ass place, neat to see the stuff on the jigs and in the bays. We walked past a '56 Crown Vic that was down to bare metal and into the dragster shop. Guy in there had his '57 T-Bird, beatiful car. He started it up and moved it, and there was no way it was a y-block 312, and I said that to him. He said it's close, and lifted the hood... new 4.6 Mustang engine (281 ci), mated to a 6 speed and a 9", Spitzer did all the chassis work. Found out later that is was Paul Romine, former Top Fuel driver with the Carquest sponsorship. The Crown Vic is his too, and a Ford 427 aluminum block is going in it.

ChuckTRich, I don't think anyone who knows the Patons thinks of them as the shy, silent types.

I don't think Brianna needs to be any more dangerous on the golf cart than she already is!

Though the Worshams nitro powered margarita mixer would look good next to that grill!
I dig Christmas, just wish time didn't move so fast.

BlackDog82 is next year (2007 ) the track's 40th year in operation, and if-so, is there any 'special' event marking this?

December 11, 2006, 08:22 AM
ChuckTI don't know about the anniversary... if I hear anything I'll post it.
Today is Frank Tedesco's birthday, in case y'all didn't hit the PRP site.

..... after taking a 10+ year, self-imposed exile from that track, I visited the 'new' track in July of '02:
within 45 minutes of arriving, 'some-guy' in a Track Offical shirt walks-up to my fiancee & I, and announces:
"I know who you are, I know why you left, and we want to keep you as a customer....."

Stunned, I reply, " O-kay....... and just who are YOU?"

"I'm Frank Tedesco..... enjoy the races!", and he went about his duties:
I'd NEVER seen the guy before in my life, but every time I went to the track after that evening, he ALWAYS stopped-by to say 'Hello' us, no-matter if we were in the pits as racers, or sitting in the grandstands.
