Sad isn't it, How come no one has posted anything about how fabulous those 20's were by the AFD cars?
Kim

 

The A/Fuel cars look great! Kim, is that what you wanted to hear?

 

That's okay too Rob, But I'm sure you know that what I meant was I had not heard any of the fans or other racers come on and say, "Hey! look at that an AFD ran in the 20's!!! Wow nice pass, you guys were really haulin'."
It's always great to hear that you make a great run and everyone knows and appreicates it, so when you don't hear it about the A/FD cars when they run a 20+, I take it that no one is impressed, because it is much more routine.
You know I like to win races just as much as the next person, but I do not want to continue to be the underdog simply because we don't run AFD. Once again just MY opinions. Cause we all gottem. Kim

 

Kim, while I agree with you to a point on the fact that it is expected that the top a/fuelers will run a twenty, so it is no big deal. The constant whining about it is not going to solve anything, I am afraid. Just to out and do you you guys do and have fun. The NHRA have a very tough situation on what to do rules wise, and while I don't know how much they will slow down if in fact the weight rule come to fruition, combine that with the new clutch and you should have around a 6-8/100ths swing in the parity. (3-4/100ths on the weight and 3-4/100ths on the clutch). I think that the rule should be something that should be allowed to be adjusted though if it is not accomplishing its goal.

Try and be positive Kim, Rome was not built in a day. The disparity is something that had a minor effect last year (look at the overall stats and be objective)and more of an effect this year, but the effect the other way previous to these past couple years was also great. Things have a way of working out. Constant complaining is not becoming for either class.

Dean, I guess you have never heard me whine or complain for real!!! LOL Kim

 

" YAHOOOOOOOOO" Way to go Bill ! ! ! ! ! ! Number one * * * * * Hey Kim how ya doin? I see youre home this weekend too. I stayed home cuz my daughter went to homecoming last night. Shelooked so beautiful in her gown and the weather was perfect for a night out.

 

Hi Gloria! Congrats on the #1 spot and the win yesterday. (I hate to be home at races like that!) But I kinow what you mean, our homecoming was last weekend. Someone has to stay home and do all the family stuff!!!!
If you guys are going to Vegas, I'll see you there. Kim

 

We havent been #1 in a long time but thats racing. We aren't going to Vegas at least I dont think we are. Calif is our last thank god ! ! We have been on the road seven weeks now and i was glad to stay home and help my daughter. She looked awesome and her date is a real hunk. She told me he asked her to be his girlfriend after the dance..HOW SWEAT IS THAT ! ! ! !

 

Sounds "SWEET"
Dean

 

How old is your daughter? I can't remember if you ever said or not, I know out girls are pretty close in age. We will be in Pomona too, you will have to bring pictures for me to see. I have not been out much this year because of our lack of people to watch the "kids" (not babies anymore!) So it seems like I have not seen Marty for a long time. Between working, working in the shop on the car, and being gone racing when I couldn't go, I am kinda looking forward to Vegas and Pomona. Kim

 

It would be nice to see "our" two Division 3 guys in the final! hope that doesn't jinx either one of them!!!! Kim

 

SEEEEE, I JINX him!!!! Good luck Gloria.

 

Ashley is fifteen and a sophmore her boyfriend is a senior and is the star of his football team. Hes the best player they have. hopfully he will play in college. OH NO ! ! ! not a red light. three guys in one round or was it ???

 

Gloria, Paige was 16 in April, I knew they were close in age. She is a junior this year. She is our oldest, and I can't believe she is going to graduate high school in just about a year and a half!!!! I never did like the color red!!!! LOL.
Hopefully we will see you in Pomona, not sure about other races, we have a different truck and trailer we have to get ready. Kim
