Jeff, tell John we are thinking about him and wishing him a speedy recovery!

They have just called stock, sc, ss, and sg to the lanes!

Wish us luck! We will need it against Scot!

Well my driver was a little slow off the start and could not make up the difference! So I guess we will head out to Fremont St. earlier than planned this evening!

But there is always next weekend!!

Uncle Jeff, been with the Bourbon Street costume freaks for three days and at the Dome all day. Bust out the calculators. WHO DAT!!!!

Love that pink car as well.....

You must be freaked out, Stephen. That is above and beyond. Only thing worse is a Gen II Hemi; you got both.

After being taken to the woodshed yesterday morning, round 5, I spent the rest of the day bonding with the new car. Kevin showed me a few things to try that might show us a few things on test day. Scott and Kevin came out and helped me finish up with this new computer car. They, Kevin and Scott, let me struggle with the car long enough to let me know that 14 strokes on the keypad won;t fix everything. It takes real work, knowledge and dedication to get the job done. Bottom line is we got beat in a heads-up run and went to work!

Having the good fortune of being a "sub" on a well oiled team was a real pleasure. The first thing I needed to do was to stay out of the way and find some way to contribute. My assigned responsibility was to have the air pressures set for all cars before we went up for our runs. In the evening time I took on myself to watch the tilt of the cans and refill promptly, as Jeff would say "Beer Boy". Maybe its a rite of passage of all potential want to be team members. The next day I got the battery chargers out and hooked up after I took all the car covers off and neatly folded and stored in the trailer. A word about the trailer, real nice!

Driving the car.

What could be simpler going from one pink car to another. I can tell first hand that Mother MoPar changed a few things over time. After being instructed in Houma and a refresher here in Vegas about the only thing I did ok was the water box burn out on the first run. Fuel check was a chore. I forgot about the rear fuel pump switch and after a time Scott came to the rescue. I felt like a real rube. Then I started to do better.

A big thank you to Jeff , Kevin, and Scott in helping us have a almost successful race at Vegas.

One more thing, a lot of the new car ( read '08 and up) folks were real quick to make sure I had ample servings of "Crow" to keep my frail body nourished! As they served their favorite dish each had a big old smile and a twinkle in their eye. I find it almost amazing that something that tastes as badly as crow can change drastically as the win lights appear in my lane!!!! Now it appears to have a sweet taste!!
