Summer is here!!!!

Well today was Andrew's last day of school. I remember the feeling of walking through the doors for the last time of the school year, hearing the song "Schools out for the Summer" Man do I feel old sometimes. These last few weeks have been crazy. There is so much behind the scenes organization that has to go on, I wonder if I will ever get things done. We are leaving on vacation this Sunday, we come home for one day and then leave for Epping, New Hampshire for Jet Wars. Then it is off to Hershey PA to eat some chocolate, YUMMMMM. We will roll down the highway and head toward Bowling Green, KY for Match Race Mania. We are going to come home for 3 days and then back on the road to Atlanta, GA to run their Night of Fire. We can't go home yet, Kansas City here we come. We will be home for the first of July!!!

So hang in there with me, I will try and post as many updates as I can.

On a business note: Keep checking back as we have some really cool news to post soon!!!

Now it is time to pack and relax for one week before the craziness begins. If you happen to see us on the highway or if you are in the area where we are racing, make sure you stop and say HI.

C ya,

Jet and Truck Nationals



It was time to head back to south Florida to Moroso Motorsports Park in West Palm Beach. On Friday morning April 27th Chris loaded up the trailer and headed south to set up the Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster. I had to stay home for an extra night so that Andrew could play his baseball game on Friday evening. The kids tried, but unfortunately they didn't win the game, but they had fun, so that was good.

Crew Chief Everett stopped by early Saturday morning to pick up Nitro, Andrew and myself so that we could make be there when the gates opened. We did have enough time to stop and eat breakfast in Okeechobee. I was looking forward to this weekend, as there was going to be a lot of jet cars performing. When we arrived, it is always nice to see some of my fans that come out to see me. Chuck and Chris Foster were also on hand to help crew the car this weekend, which I greatly appreciate as it was Chuck and Ellen's 25th anniversary. We were scheduled to make two passes each day. On Saturday evening the Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster made both laps with no problems. We packed up and headed to the restaurant and was in bed by 12:oo, which is a pleasant treat.

Sunday morning we were up early and back at the track, as we had two more passes to make. We lined up and blasted down the quarter mile both times with no problems. It is so nice to have a race car that just motors down the track, my husband and the students from Embry-Riddle designed and built an awesome car.

We have a couple of weeks off, which we will be able to get caught up on all of the day to day stuff. Keep checking back, as we have a lot of exciting news coming up in May.




Stay safe.
