Default Re: Live from our Southern Tour 2012

Patsy, I guess Kevin and I didn't see you when you and Larry waved.

We planned to do some live reporting, but my lap top is down, and we couldn't get Kevin's to stay connected.

Kevin and I would like to say thank you to Top Dragster racer Steve Estes. Steve owns Georgia Truck, RV, and Performance Center at exit 201 on I-75. On Tuesday night, Kevin and I were around the 204 mile marker when we lost not one, but two tires on the left side of the trailer. We managed to put on one spare, and limp to the 201. After spending the night at the Speedco, which was closed, we got the truck serviced, and they sent us to Steve's place. We got there just as he opened. Steve not only found us six brand new tires for the trailer, he got them from Atlanta, then mounted and balanced them for us, and gave us an incredible deal. We cannot say enough about how well Steve treated us. So if you're ever anywhere close to there and have trouble, or if you're in the area and need anything, go see Steve Estes at Georgia Truck, RV, and Performance Center.

We had our new engine (special thanks to Jimmy Bridges for a great set of heads, and intake, and a lot of help and support) in "Marvin the Martian", that green SS/EA 69 Camaro, it just came off the dyno the Friday before we left for South Georgia. We're still getting things sorted out, but wanted to thank the guys at Quick Fuel, Art and Brandon Wlikinson, Kenny Schindler, and Gene Abbot, for help and advice with several things.

While we didn't have a lot of success at South Georgia or Gainesville, we did have a pretty good time, and saw a lot of friends.

We'll see you all at the races soon.
