On the Road

Well, if you haven't read my Miss Ta Fire race recaps, I had a small problem in Nashville, TN. On the third and final run of the evening, the car took a sharp right and I hit the wall. There was minor damage to the car, and I am fine. It did change our plans for the summer. We were supposed to race in Texas and Shreveport against the Invader, Curt Eierdam. I had to call and tell them to find a car to fill in for us.

But the show must go on. We had E. Lowe return the Miss Ta Fire home to Florida, and we continued on to Oshkosh, WI to do our display for Embry-Riddle. We arrived in town and cleaned the rig up. The next day we headed to the airshow. This is our second time in Oshkosh, but it still amazes me. The amount of aircraft in the air at any given time is just scary.

I was given a chance to dyno a brand new Roush Mustang in the Ford tent. Lets just say I shouldn't quit my day job. The days are long and hot, but it is nice to see people from all across the world that are attending this years show.

The reception the brand new Embry-Riddle jet dragster has received has been all we could have hoped for and more. We have been given some pretty cool opportunities since we have been here in Oshkosh. I am still at this time waiting to hear if there is a spot left on the Aeroshell team to fly in their show on Sunday. If there is, you can be sure I will post all about it. We found a really cool restaurant in town where you get to cook your own steaks. YUM!!

We are hitting the road on Sunday. I will keep you posted.
