Wanted to say thanks to some people

Hello everyone,
It looks like Al-Qaida has bought everyone one years immunity from racing me at the track he he he...just kidding. My ego alone may be enough to keep me alive....lol
Before I go back for Iraq round 2 I just wanted to say thanks to some people that have been instrumental in helping me get the funny car to where it is today. I couldn't have done it without you guys and I mean that. Your kindness and helpfulness will never be forgotten.
Special thanks to:
-To any poor guy in this buisiness that I will call from Iraq just to talk to when I'm having a bad day or something goes wrong....Pre emptive sorry.
-My dad for running all over the U.S. to pick up stuff I bought, plus he's my dad...putting up with me counts for something.
-Jeff Mould for selling me my first funny car chassis on payments when I was 15, I'm trusting my dad to that chassis now, If the car has half of the qualities that the former owner has then my dad is in good hands and I'm not worried.
-Tim Stephens for selling me the Shortblock and possibly heads on payments
-Tony Deparno for selling me the high dollar Blower on payments
-Brenden Murry "A.K.A. the phoenix" the new car looks great bud, your a great friend and it was always fun
-Karen Oie also a great friend and puts up with Brenden Murry....lol probably spent more on shipping my lost glasses back to me then I did on them in the first place.
-Steve Lanuis at Missile enterprizes will definately talk when I get back
-Joe Veshusio A.K.A. uncle Joe and family Another great friend who took me and my dad in his team after Lou passed away, Always helpfull.
-"Wildthing" Lou Debarto craziest but nicest guy I'v ever known and he got me hooked into racing, truly my hero. R.I.P. Lou
-Pat Ellerholz and family All of those years at Indy was a blast and I wouldn't give up those memories for anything.
-Brent Lidgard always willing to help me out with advice both personal and racing, First person to offer to help me at the track when the car is ready.
-Steve Kanuika trading me parts that are worth a lot more than what I'm giving you just to help me out, and for always talking with me and being a friend.
-"Nitro" Mike Cavaleiri always willing to talk and do some swapping of parts and advice, great friend and good buisiness man
-All of the former members of the supercharged warriors for showing my dad and I a good time always. Great guys
-Jeff "Burner" Burnett for letting me work for you despite my having no experience
-Keith "Rooman" Bergan it was a blast working with you, Let me know when the second flight of the Jet engine porta jon will be. Plus it was fun having someone to make cracks about Brenden being on California time with...hehe
-Lowell Bodenbach at New century peformance Lowell was the guy in 04-05 that fell under my first line at the top about the poor guy I call when I'm having a bad day, Awesome guy, enjoyed working with you, If anyone ever needs a good aluminum Chevrolet block look no where else, great service and prices
***THE TENNESEE QUARTET***When I needed someone to talk to these guys were always there for me, Seems like everyone from TN is great.
-Roman Popeluk for getting me into Hemi's and saving me $$$$ in the long run, Enjoy the Bac man Chevy, let me know how many records my baby breaks, sorry Brenden.
-Dean Woodward and family one of my truest friends, thanks for everything. Enjoy the Rodeck.
-Dave Watts and family another one of my truest friends, You have always helped me.
-Command Sergeant Major Jim Kyle of the Tennesee Army National Guard, known him for 10 years but haven't met in person yet, just missed in Iraq. You have always treated me like a son and I hope through these years that any advice I gave helped some.
I'm sure there are a lot of people I'm forgetting to mention that are just as important so please do not be offended if your name is not on here, remember the alzeimers....me neither....lol
Thanks guys, The car will be finished when I get back for sure and every bit the competitive funny car I always dreamed it would be.
Best wishes and Thanks to all,
Spc. Trevor Sherwood A.K.A. Jynxx
76th U.S. National Guard

Thanks, Trevor

Thanks Trevor for your service. I appreciate it more than most any other American. My son did a tour in Iraq in 2003-4. Now he is in Afghanistan and is scheduled to come home in May 08. Unfortunately he is already scheduled for another tour in Iraq starting in August 08. He calls me anytime he can- you can too. I am not famous like John Haley or Bob Meyer but if they don't answer try me. Dave Germain 253-973-2619

GOD speed soldierboy. and dave, thank you for your son as well. May GOD watch over him. makes my engine problem seem small.

Thanks guys and gals

I wanted to also say thanks to all of you who are volunteering to be the poor guy that I call when things get tough, it means a lot and I'm sure you'll regret it later...lol

packing my old gear now and waiting for the new stuff, I have so much stuff left from O.I.F. 2 that I could privately start my own unit...lol no room for it all. Anyone care to air ship a container for me full of gear for me?..lol

And Will, No need to worry about Jodi, he got the last one during O.I.F. 2 and my ex-fiancee turned out to be a total pshyo so if Jodi gets her I feel bad for him especially if he is another soldier....lol She messed my head up so good that I'm far too gunshy to try to meet woman anymore which is part of the reason I decided to go back but it also means theres no chance of getting dumped for Jodi while I'm away or as before the day I'm coming back after a seisure. Some things are looking up ha ha! Knowing my luck somebody elses girl will send me the dear john at the wrong e-mail address and I'll still feel bad...lol...crap!

And as far as the Alky racing Syndrom the car will be done when I get back. I have potential sponsors already, and bought the experienced BAE billet shortblock of Tim Stephens, with that and the new heads, dry sump setup, PSI roots blower, and differant hat we should be able to run with the best of em in the IHRA and maybe even give NHRA div 3 a good run for the money.


Thanks Guys, it's 2:30 am so I'm going to try to get some sleep now. My best wishes to all and if anyone wants to send me a funny car for x-mas it would be appreciated...lol

 

Trevor,

Good luck and remember to stay low. I might be seeing you over there next year. Stay safe and make it home.

 

Good Luck and stay Safe.

Looking forward to seeing you in your car when you get home.

A Big Thank You to You and All of the Soldiers fighting over seas, some of whom in this country, aren't even allowed to be served in a bar, but yet they are allowed to fight for our country.



Be safe, like Dave Hirata Says: You Guys Are Our HEROS!!!!
