Danny, if I leave Wednesday morning I'll be there roughly in the early afternoon as it is 220 miles. We will have all of Wednesday night, which we have not made any dinner plans for yet, but we will party nonetheless.

Thursday it is supposed to be raining so we will be riding around on the Southern Snacks golf cart giving out samples of jerky and pepperoni sticks. Then it's on to partying for Thursday nigh dinner, I hear it is supposed to be steak with special sauce. Then we have Friday night for partying, that is ribs night, with mangrove and cherry wood chips for smoked flavor along with special rubs on the ribs.

Saturday and Sunday it is supposed to be clear. Partying to be continued. Saturday night partying is up to Ashley, our daughter, Seans wife, as it is her birthday. I think we should have a big bash without her knowledge, but we will play it by nose.

But do not take any of this partying as me not being serious about racing, I mean when it comes time to race I have to have my attention span greatly increased. When the car fires up to the burnout box, it's all real fun now. All things must be second nature with minor adjustments for differences in circumstances. When the light come down my concentration period must be able to be totally focused for at a minimum of 15 seconds, not like some others who only have to pay attention for 10-13 seconds. In time relation formulas, that is a tremendous span.

What it all boils down to is being able to have fun and race. We can do that.

As for the entire adventure this is my final comparasion of the sanctioning bodies for the Ortiz Unleeched Series. I am looking foward to all of this.

Has anyone informed Larry Peterson or Brad Burton or Mark Faul about any of these postings. If not get the news to them because we are coming for them.
