Well it was time to head back to the race track after a weekend off. Chris left Kansas to head for Kentucky for the next race. Andrew and I flew out on Friday to meet up with all of the crew for the weekend. Chris and Team Synergy did a display for the Embry-Riddle Jet Racing team at the Holley factory on Friday while I was back at home doing some radio interviews.
Finally the crew all meet up and went out for dinner and then it was to bed early for the big weekend a head. Unfortunately the rain and wind came in Friday and stay with us until Saturday morning. But the NMCA and Beech Bend Raceway Park made sure that the track was prepared and ready to go on Saturday.
We made two passes on Saturday, the first one we had a pretty good head wind that I was fighting and I had to shut the car off a little early, on the second pass it was late and cool and the good ole ERAU jet dragster flew. I want to thank everyone that stayed to watch me make that last pass down the track. I know that it was cold and late, but really appreciate everything.
At the end of the night we were invited over to the Timberland Racing team for dinner. I thought I was back at Belle Rose, LA as crawfish was on the menu for the night. After filling our stomachs we headed back to the hotel for some rest. The next morning it was back out to the track and get the car ready for the next pass.
It was time to say good bye to Kentucky as we headed for home just in time to do some laundry and hit the road again for a trip to Atlanta for Pinks All Out. If you are in the area, make sure you stop by and say HI!!!
Thanks to everyone that stopped by to say HI, remember I will be back to Beech Bend the first weekend in October for the NMRA finals. See you at the races!!!!
luv ya,

Elaine,
Thanks for letting Chris do the radio show. You two are a couple of my very favorite people in racing and I'm happy I've had the chance to meet you and visit with you a bit.
Good luck and God bless you on all your various ventures.
Can't wait to see you again in October. Until then keep the burner lit and the mac and cheese on the stove!!
Thanks,
