Mack Reeves....A new hero in my book

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

"To prove you can do it? " Yes, to ourselves AND, Tommorow me or may pop not be able to so TODAY is the time. Nooone is promised tommorow. I will die having no regrets of wishing I had TRIED to do things and wonder how they MIGHT have turned out.

"Most people have to work to earn a living" I dont. Im not rich but house is paid for no outstanding debts, living off my savings, can for another few years. Then Ill decide what to do, Im kinda on "hiatus" Thinking of going to law school.....seriously......

"To satisfy a sponsor?" If it was painful no , never, I would also never allow myself to be put in that position by anyone under any circumstance. A position where I was obligated financially or morally , I have kids and parents that the extent of who I would allow me to put me in that position.

"Is it being filmed by a production company for a reality TV show?"
Nope they took a poll and Im too ugly, I would scare children.

"Most people have to work to earn a living......and that allows them to participate in the sport of drag racing. They have to juggle their time and time off....." Sounds a little twinge of jealousy , cant change that your life is yours and mine is mine. I have other commitments this year, but I will MAKE time for the racing.

"Very few can race full time and come out ahead......" Agreed, this is worse than owning a boat........It would have been cheaper for the old man to throw money off a tall building, half way through Im sure common sense would have set in and he would have stopped. But with this once youre commited what are the options ?

"If I am Drooze's driver.....I'm reading the fine print in my contract.....and lookin for an out" Good thing youre not driving for us, I guess that speaks to his charachter, he commited and is following through, hes aware of the situation and he had contacted us about him driving for us, we did not seek him out directly, he knew we needed a driver and stepped up.

"This story just keeps getting more and more complicated and rediculous if you ask me"

Thats the funniest thing in the post.....Its apparent you dont know me and I dont know you, if you did know me , you would know by FAR this is pretty mild and normal in my world of strangness....I am like a cosmic epicenter for bad / strange luck so I have had to learn to land on my feet......

Not even the tip of the iceberg in terms of complicated or ridiculous.

Cheers

Chris

To satisfy a sponsor?

Some obviously are better off then others and can participate more and spend more time devoted to the sport.
Very few can race full time and come out ahead......
Even WJ says he won't chase around the counrty on his own dime.

I'm not being negative...I just view things in a logical and practical way.....This saga is not logical or practical.....to me anyway......


If I am Drooze's driver.....I'm reading the fine print in my contract.....and lookin for an out....LOL~
Super Sunday........beer...football....food.....racing can wait....!!!
