Scubasteve -- yes, that was my car -- leaking all over Billy's truck .

Stage1scott -- Thanks and stop by in Pomona and say hello .

Mr.McCarthy -- Pay this bill is not for the faint of heart regardless of what Mr.Nees says .

Pudgie -- Actually the sign says be back soon -- gone fishin' -- remember I'm a used car guy -- we fudge a little ! ! !

Mr.Nees -- how did you ever know I still had that money ?? That was 48 years ago ...........And still earning interest .

Jack, I know not to call him Mr. Nees and you've known him 47 years longer than I have!

Captain Jack, Our worst nightmare would be If Billy had the money to spend on his fleet of race cars, that Jack spends in a year on one. ...... He'd have some of the baddest, most obscure cars NHRA has ever seen! .........LOL ..........Maby I can talk Jack into flying me out to the west coast, Buckey flew Phil Mandella east this Spring!

Capt. Jack, I never called Jack a "tightwad". I simply pointed out his unmatched ability to save a buck. I will however add that he does get his mileage out of every buck that he does spend.

Capt/ Jack,

How goes the quest for the Turboglide / Metric 200 swap?

Any definitive word from the Ivory Tower in Glendora yet?

Seels like a lomg time to wait for a simple "yes", or "no" answer...

Or, did I miss something???

Curious minds, etc., etc., etc....

That's what I call being smart and when I spend money only the dogs can hear the high-pitched whine, and I do mean whine- that comes as the money leaves my checking account.

Holy Lean it out Batman is this place slow or what ?Try these numbers on - 62.7 degrees --18.1% humidity --- 28.19 barometer -- .10 vapor pressure and a DA of 2634 -- my weather station is spinning around like a slot machine -- never saw numbers like these .Good thing this is a test and tune as we'll be tuning for sure . Maybe run number two will be better as the first was no record breaker .


On another note let me tell you about the entrance fees-- test and tune today -- Lucas race with one crew person -- $325-- maybe ours isn't so bad after all ......

Billy -- You and the rest have been pretty hard on me the last few days -- I don't recall seeing your rig parked here -- too much to spend ??? Spending wisely isn't a bad thing ........later .
