Re: Michael Beard, when you have time...........
Michael did a great job when he worked at Quaker City,it was a shame he did not stay around longer. Had alot of fun racing with him.

Re: Michael Beard, when you have time...........
And all these years I thought that Beaver Bob McCardle was your money source... It has to be nearly 25 years since I first met you at Beaver Springs...

Let me add that Mike treats everyone like they're his best friend. One of the nicest and hilarious people I've ever met in the sport!!!

Ortiz...if you'd start supplying snacks again for your fellow racers, you'd regain your respect. And everyone knows that Nees lies like a fisherman

Michael, you're one of the main reasons I'm glad I was able to live a dream of mine last month (of racing in Texas). San Antonio is now the 19th different track I've been blessed and fortunate enough to race at. Yesterday I was talking with my other bud McNeal Freeman, and in so doing I realized that in the IHRA, North Carolina has a division all to themselves (D9)! No wonder you live there...and going to the other tracks in other states isn't so horribly out of wack for you either I bet? Furthermore, I'm wishing I'd have won that race I was in, so I'd have to opportunity to meet, hang out with, and race with you! It's too bad that the Salt Lake City race doesn't count for the Tournament of Champions. However, now that's a dream of mine too...to win one of the Nitro Jams that will qualify for that race. It's nice to (finally) be able to race both of the 'HRA's (for once), and I'm glad that 18 of my western neighbors will be heading to Salt Lake City next month as well, so we can enjoy another small taste of what you've been feasting on for years...class racing regardless of sanctioning body! You're a real class act, that I hope to be blessed with the opportunity to meet at a race in the future...bring on the ribs, because I can put 'em down too.... lol. btw, have fun this weekend!!!
