Thanks for your vote of confidence Joe , right now mine is fine as what happened this weekend had nothing to do with me .........wish I had a ride for the Keystones ! ! !

As for you Mr.Hammer -- never fear as I'd make a terrible resident below the Mason-Dixon line .............Living in Pennsylvania and New Jersey is already more than I can handle .

Jack, your green card for southof the Mason-Dixon line is only for a short time. Please stay............................

Come on down south Jack, i'd love to have you down here, buddy, you talk about some NHRA war storeys, you and i together, could write a best seller!

I think Jack came to Reynolds two years ago. It rained Thursday and Friday. We raced anyway, and had a good time. Come on back down anytime Jack.

Jack retire? Go west young man, I mean Jack!
Up side..............never rains, start and finish at Ponoma, west coast rule book, very few cars in A-C/SA, points races have 60 or so stockers, better used car market and they are rust free with 5 very local auctions, 4 hours to Atlantic City (I mean Vegas), no toll roads, did I mention it never rains.

Downside......1000 miles round trip to most division races, traffic like you read about, smog, DMV and auto insurance twice the cost, home prices are off the chart high, Obama-(I forgot, you have him too), it's always sunny.

And..............................everyone here is from New Jersey!

I am here to report I personally saw Jack at the Winters in Pomona this year and we argueably had the best weather we could wish for! Now in 2009 it rained cats and dogs and there was no Chieftan on the property that I saw. So Jack is more than welcome to race with us. Any race we have been with him has been gorgeous!

Doug Blackley · 10-03-2010, 10:43 PM

It didn't rain at the Valley this year with Jack in attendance. I think it's more related to the initials of our division. Never Ending Drizzle or Next Heavy Rain Area; take your pick lol.

I was with you on most everything you said, until you brought Obama into the mix, and left out your "Governator" Awnold. It's during his tenure as your governor that divisional entry fees went up, national even insurance fees (plus license and competition number fees) were doubled, and we lost Fontana as a divisional points race site...now making it no better (tow time wise) to live in Arizona and race in Div. 7 than it was to race Div. 5 and live in Colorado!

Don't be so hard on our president, if you're not going to include your governor in your thoughts as well??? My .02

Jack, I appologize for taking this thread about you a bit out of text, but under the circumstances of part of 7423's thoughts, I couldn't let them go with no reply. As for these thoughts of your retiring, I agree with all here who hope you don't retire, because you're too young to retire (heck look at "The Greek", isn't he 86 and is still running in Top Fuel?). Perhaps the Florida sunshine, will change your mind? If you do go there, take your rig with you and have some fun out there...I think you'll be glad you did!
