Mornin' all! I'm ready for some steady real spring weather. We're about 30 degrees colder than yesterday, with some rain and wind. Supposed to warm up a little, then looks bad for our opening at PRP.

Mouse, do you run at an IHRA track, and if so, do they have TCR (Teen Championship Racing)? It's an awesome program, 13-17 year olds get to race street legal cars, 10.00 and up 1/8th mile, with a parent/adult in the passenger seat. My buddy's son does it. The only cost is the entry fee and license process. If that was around when I was a kid, my parents could have had me doing anything just so I could race.

Michelle, Madi's shirt reminds me of AJ's and his sister's Shelly's stickers they had on their juniors. AJ's said "If I can't beat you, my sister will." Shelly's said "If I can't beat you, my brother will." They still have them on their Mopars today. The human dragster lift is a memory, that's for sure! I hope you're good to go in the dragster. Go get 'em at Zmax! How is Rick feeling?

Hi Mike!

Chuck, Tulsa is NHRA. They have a program called the "High School Drags" at least I think they still run that program. They ran it on Friday nights during the test and tune sessions. Once I get back to working and can save a few dollars, I want to find a late 2nd generation Camaro that isn't eaten up with rust and build that up for him when he turns 16, maybe even a late 80's Monte SS. I just want to get him something that we can build together, so that he will have some pride in it and will take care of. If he wants to try racing then, that would be cool.

Evening gang,just got in from the hospitial,been in the ER since yesterday,went in around 6pm,this time it was for me,had a bout with dehyrd.leg craps and body craps and a messed up belly,and this all can from a new med for getting rid of fuild,they say I did'nt drink enough fluids,and dehyr.all I know is I don't remember alot till this morning,and now I'm home and hoping to never met this monster again.

When I passed out yesterday,I thought it was over for old Mike,I've never seen it so dark and all because of a med that is supposed to help me............... ..............................

Well prayers to you all and hopefully we'll see ya'll in the morning...........................

wow Mike, glad to hear you're okay...hate you had to go thru all that! prayers sent
That sounds like good times Dennis, lots of fun memories! I'm thinkin I'm gonna have to "borrow" AJ & sis's stickers Chuck, way cool! thanks WAO, I'm a proud Mom for sure. There's a pic on fb when they were little with blue & pink t'shirts that said "My Mommy's faster than your Daddy", actually a friend of ours 'Racin Chic' gave Madi that shirt lol

Just got home from a perfect audit, pretty happy with that. Think we found the gremlin, really hoping so since we leave tomorrow for Charlotte..going to the shop to finish decaling now...have a great night.

Mornin' all! Over center day! Growin' gills here from all the rain. Supposed to dry out the rest of the day and into tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful that it will be enough for PRP to dry out enough to race.

Mouse, that's great you'd like to build something with your boy. I hope he goes for it.

Hi Mike! That's a little scary... a lot scary. Glad you're on the green side of the sod. I hope they get your timing set and locked in, so you're running strong on all 8, and not misfiring. I sure hope you're feeling better.

Good luck in Charlotte, Michelle! I'll try to follow DRC this weekend. Text if you can!

Mornin y'all!

Mikey, come on out here and I'll help you on the road to recovery. I've got plenty of liquids and even some water now.

Michelle, daughter.

Morning everyone.
Mike, hate to hear that you went through that, but so glad to hear your doing better. Keep the liquids in you for sure.
Just got back from physical therapy and sitting hear with my ice pack.
I was finally able to get out and doing a little on the S10 yesterday. I got the rocker arms set and new plugs put in. Slowly but surely i'm getting it ready.
Y'all have a great day, and prayers to all.

Good morning my friends.
I had to go to therapy again today, cause I have a Dr appointment tomorrow, so I'm setting here with my ice packs talking to you guys.
Getting ready to go hop on the mower and cut the grass before the storms this afternoon. We have a real good change of severe storms later today. Tornadoes, hail, wind, and heavy rain. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
Welp, I gotta get busy, so I'll talk to y'all later.
You guys have a great day, and prayers for everyone.
See ya.

Afternoon all! Beauty of a day here in Pittsburgh. The Penguins won game 1 of their playoff series, so it's a good day. Now if my Pirates could just shake out of their slump.

WAO, that's the good thing about swingsets, they are easy to work on. I hope you make some good progress.

Mouse, good to hear you got some stuff done on the racecar too. I hope your knee let you get the grass cut before the storms. Does your knee hurt worse prior to a big storm, and only a little if it's a drizzle??

Floyd, do you get water when the ice melts in your scotch??

Hi Mike! Get a little bit stronger everyday, add a half a degree of timing, and richen up your fuel, til your running great on all 8 cylinders.

Hey Chuck ..........................

Floyd,when the plastic makers start recycling plastic bumpers and car parts,maybe I can haul a load west and pay for a trip to the west coast.............Mannie,me and a load of junk,with a race truck hid in there somewhere,look like the Cana hillbillys going to Cuamongia.............. ....................................

Good morning everyone.
We survived the storms that rolled through here yesterday evening. I didn't get to go chasing like I had wanted to, but I did get some cool pictures of the circulation that never dropped to the ground, going directly over our house. Seeing that was almost better than sex, almost. The storm system is heading east today, so you guys in it's path be careful.
Mike, where in Kansas are you going? I'm only about an hour and a half from the Kansas/Okla border, if you're coming that far south.
Well, time to head to my Dr appointment and see what he has to say.
Y'all have a good one, and prayers for health, strength, and comfort to all of you.
See ya.

Mornin Y'all!
Goin to be a lovely do nothin day for me and Chewy. Damn I'm gettin lazy.
Chuck the trick is to not wait for the ice to melt.
Mike, we'll find a market for that plastic. damn mescans are always knockin the plastic bumpers off their cars.
Mouse, watch the knee.
WA, you look natural.
Michelle, good luck and watch your belongins.

Mornin' all! TGIF!! Nice day out there so far, but it's looking like we're going to rained out of our opener tomorrow at the track. Hopefully it's dry enough on Sunday.

WAO, that's a cool pic. So you were wired yesterday??

Hi Mike! Don't forget to send me some pics of the truck if you want me to post 'em up for you.

Floyd, I might not be drinking scotch, but I don't let my ice melt much either.

Mouse, you're one of "them" too? Kimmy is... gets all excited when thunderstorms are coming through. She didn't mention any comparisons though. I do dig seeing the pics, if you post them up. I'm only on FB about 5 minutes a week, but let me know if you put them up there.

Michelle texted me updates yesterday. They definitely found the gremlin, she's running great, 8.91, 8.86, 8.87, at 179 or so, and she's on the tree.

You all have a great weekend.

Karen updated the CarePage this morning, so I updated Bob's thread.


to all

time for some medicinal ice cream
