Mother's Day

First I want to wish all of the Mom's out there a very Happy Mother's Day!!!! I hope that you all relaxed and enjoyed your day. Also our thoughts and prayers go out to those that lost family members today in the bad weather. We stayed in Macon, GA last night and when we woke up this morning and headed for home, trees were everywhere. We didn't realize that the tornados had just been through the area and we were only minutes behind. It sure puts things in perspective.

Now on to the race weekend. The Embry-Riddle team hit the road on Thursday afternoon for Atlanta Dragway for Pinks All Out. We were scheduled to display on Friday afternoon and then run the jet car on Saturday. Andrew and Nitro stayed home, Andrew had a baseball game and a 5th grade party and Nitro had bad kitties to chase, so it was only Chris, Mike and me.

We pulled into Atlanta Dragway and the place was beyond packed. The Southern Nationals were just held there a couple of weeks ago and from what everyone was talking about it was even BIGGER!!! People who had never been to a drag race before we e lining the fence ready to see what we do. It was really exciting. Atlanta Dragway brought in some great exhibition cars and the record crowd on hand was proof that we love drag racing!!!

This was the largest vendor row that the Pinks show had ever had. I was able to go shopping at the drag strip which is always fun. We were only able to make one pass on Saturday as the show was running a little behind schedule so the the show must go on. We did put on a great show and the car ran really well. The Embry-Riddle jet dragster is running the best it ever has and Chris really has a handle on the tune up.

Now we are back home and getting ready to hit the road for an event I have been looking forward tom the Cavalcade of Stars in Norwalk Ohio. You can find more information out about the event on our schedule page. If you are in the area, make sure you stop by and see us. I have never been to Summit Dragway Park and can't wait to eat the pound of ice cream!!!! Check our schedule and if any of you can make it out to the races, make sure you stop by.

luv ya,
e
