In Memory of a Great Friend Dick Rosberg

On May 23, 2011 a legend in drag racing passed away. Dick Rosberg, a dedicated family man, a record breaking racer and an amazing friend left us today. It is with a heavy heart for those of us who is left no longer have this amazing man that was such a charmer. We all have many memories and Dick has touched so many people in his entire life. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and for all of the friends that will miss him. Chris and I were lucky enough to have him in our life. We will miss you my friend.

Luv you,

Jet Shop

The middle of May is here already and we have already been so many places. Last weekend we were in Norwalk, OH for the NHRA division race. We only had one shot at running as the weather was not good for racing. We ran 5.40 at 296 mph. Not a bad way to kick it in. As racing is always fun and exciting, we have so much that is going on behind the scene. Some of you may not know, but we are moving and opening our new shop in Daytona Beach, FL. We will be moving into Embry-Riddle's new Research Park. Our new shop is over 12,000 and we are giving her a beautiful facelift. It will be open to the public during the week when we are not off racing around the country.

I thought driving a screaming fast jet dragster was challenging, not even close to what we are doing. We have our home of 21 years for sale, we have closed all of our other shops and closing our eyes and taking that leap of faith. You know in the Transformers movie when he says you don't want to regret that you didn't get in the car. Well we definitely got in the car. So not only are we in the middle of a full race season, we are showing our home, while renovating our shop and looking for new homes. Anything else........bring it on!!!!!

Other than that, it seems like life is just flying by. This summer we have soooooooo much planned for the summer 2011. We are visiting new a race tracks Maryland International Raceway, in June for the NMCA. Can't wait for that. We will also be back to the EAA Air Venture in Oshkosh, WI, Summit Motorsports Park Night Under Fire and then are you ready for this.......We will be at the NHRA's race at Maple Grove Race way in October. If you haven't checked out the schedule lately, make sure you do as you don't want to miss a second.

If you are not my friend on Facebook, make sure as that is the easiest way to stay up to date on every that is going on. Okay so I forgot something very very exciting that is happening in June. Chris and I will be celebrating our 25 wedding anniversary. He is my best friend and I can't believe that it has already been 25 years. When we took that leap of faith 8 years ago for him to quit his job and for us to go racing full time, we never guessed that this is where we would end up. Here is a thought I want to leave you with:

In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep dreaming and make reality. ~Kristian Kan
