Re: "Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015
Reading Class Racer for the first time in a while. We got to see some old friends and meet some new people on our way to catch up with the rest of the crew. We would visit most of the day and then drive until bed time.
After seeing the picture of me behind the wheel of the rig, I understand the question a little better "who drives your race car ?" Man do I look experienced. All of this reminds me of a poster I saw. The poster had a 1969 SS Camaro with stripes and a vinyl top with the caption "Did you ever wonder what your mom saw in your dad". It was a cool poster!!!
Joe is having a generator issue and him and Alice are having it fixed today and will catch up with us in Holbrook Az. tonight. I was just informed by Patsy that they may catch up with earlier. Not only did they have gen set troubles but the real issue that required an immediate fix is the coffee pot died. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time.
Being on the road and in the NHRA "circus" for a short time gives new meaning to just how difficult it must be for the pro sportsman drivers. Rampy, Fletcher, and the rest of the pros lead a difficult life that is not for the faint of heart. The cars fall apart in the trailer, the road is always unforgiving and dangerous. The friends, the fun, the competition , and the win lights make it worth it for me!
more later
