"Live" from Belle Rose, LA

Jim....I think Michael is kind of old school......I admire that a great deal. No big motor home and no big budget....Sleeping in a tent in 90+ degree weather.......basically roughing it and still able to do the job and win. Takes a really serious racer to do stuff like this......I was once like that.....

I have slept under my trailer....under my race car while it was on my ramp truck.....in my ramp truck.....in my racecar.....

Reminds me of the old days when I could get by like that......Damn sure couldn't get by like that these days at the ripe old age of 62.....and I never won like Mike does......Hell of a racer.....Good luck Michael....

That what was nice about having a stationwagon.
Slept in it quite a few times.

This could be tread to "why aren't you racing this year" nice to see someone who doesn't see any barriers to stop him from competing at any cost. During the 60's and 70's I've slept in the station wagon with my older brother many times flat towing his Jr Stocker, Micheal reminds me a lot of that pioneer spirit that many racers had in the past. Good-luck Micheal.

Rich, Michael is a lot younger than most of us.

Tex - thanks for the rest of the results!

Greg - I'm catching up to y'all.... 36 and counting. Time flies when you count life by drag racing seasons and not years.

I'm a little wonky today. Hated to miss the last day, but sure glad I'm not still driving!
