I was there when Dave Kommel was telling Larry about the story and how he needed to get some pictures. I'm sure there will be a story on DRC also.

Good luck to you guys in Denver!

Wait.... you can't leave that early! I want a picture of the two of you, some of the best people I've ever met.

We plan on getting all loaded up tonight and get out before anybody gets their cars out in the morning. My computer wasn't getting out this afternoon, but Chris called and told us about the tv video. That was really cool. Larry hasn't seen it yet, but he talked to Bob Frey at Seattle and said something about doing a story. But we thought it was going to be on DRC. But that was cool. I have a few more pics that I will try to post later. We had guests here today, so I didn't get any pics today.

Hey Larry, it looked like you were still snoozing when we left this morning. It was nice meeting you and having you for a neighbor this week. Good luck to you this week. Thanks to Mike Cotten and Dave Raybourn for backing us out of the pits. We left the track a little before 7 this morning.

We are going from sea level to over 7000' shortly.

I have a few more pictures from Sonoma I will post when I get a chance.

More later.

Thanks for the nice words.... God Bless you both and have a safe trip!!! Tell Larry it will be even more fun reading his common since post now that I've met him. Please remember to email that pic so I'll have you email address and hopefully I can come visit you when I go to Nashville to see Whitney (my daughter). I left .010 to soon against Jody this morning and then to add insult I ran right on my 10.41 dial. Oh well... that's racing. I'll just win the Arizona race tomorrow to make up for it. Ha...HA... (LOL)

Wow Larry & Patsy,

What a great trip through this great country of ours you two are on! Awesome pictures from Marion & SD (in general), plus all of the rest (especially those taken in Wa., Or., and Northern Cal.), which now underscores why I'm working on relocating northwest from all of the heat here in Phoenix...although I like it better than snow, it gets a bit extreme when frequent daytime highs are 110 +! I bet Mike & BJ Graham were glad to be up there in Sonoma with you and away from this heat...those who went there and entered the Az. nationals, will have a chance to partake in 2nats "stock/super stock", and two divisionals in two weekends...for those who could make the trip, that's alot of bang for the buck!!!

Oh btw, I too saw your interview yesterday and your 30-40 sec.'s of fame (nice car too)! Moreover, I don't know if anyone else saw this, but on the pro qualifying show, they showed four wheelstanding Stock/Super Stock cars pre/post a commercial break! OMG!!! Maybe the other thread about NHRA & ESPN hating our cars is starting to get some attention....and I'm also glad to have heard WJ giving us some due credit in his remarks about how the track needs to be safer for Pro Stock to Stock as well!!!

I wish you two well in Denver, GOD BLESS the remainder of your awesome trip, and I hope you saw the other thread about you Larry being on tv. (with regards to the Golden, Co. Mopar pre-race picnic...I hope they're doing that again this year...I hope you get some pics of it too, I'm homesick for that area). Thanks, and someday I hope to meet you two folks, because you two are obviously great people, and racers to know!!!

Take some picture of those big mountains that you are going to go up.

Larry Hill · 07-18-2010, 04:47 PM

Well we are rolling thru the desert in Northern Nevada. There is not even a Walmart bag blowing around to hang on a fence post. Every now and then you will see a tumbleweed blowing across the road. Reminds me of old Roy Rogers shows! It is only 100 degrees out here!

vic guilmino · 07-18-2010, 08:07 PM

i always what to see a tumbleweed

Never swerve for a tumbleweed...The just explode when you hit them...very fragile..neat to do and see being done.

Here in Florida we have to import tumbleweed, except we call it tofu. It doesn't explode very often and it doesn't taste anything like chicken! Jim
