Hey NO PROBLEM!!!!

Well it was really time to kick off the 2008 season and we kicked it off with a bang at No Problem Raceway. Now this is our second year to come out for NHRA's division 4 first points meet, last year was amazing and we had high hopes as we left home on Wednesday after Andrew got out of school. So "on the road again!!!!" We made it to Marianna, FL and found a hotel to spend the night. Up early the next morning and with the frost in the air we hit the road destination Belle Rose, LA!!!

We dropped off the trailer on Thursday afternoon and met up with some friends from last year. Then went to the hotel to rest up for the big weekend. Friday morning E. Lowe was flying in and Mike Mathes was driving to us so we were ready for the weekend. It was a cool night and the car ran great and the crowd was on their feet. So Saturday we come back to the track to make two runs. The race track was busting at the seams cars were flying down the track it felt like magic!!!! I talked to so many racers that had worked so hard in the off season and spent hard earned money to put their race cars back on the track. You sometimes wonder why......well after that first blast down the quarter mile it comes rushing back to you why we do what we do. I feel so much at home at the drag strip. People get me here. Anyway the stands were packed and people just wanted to have a good time and a good time is what the racers gave them.

The Embry-Riddle jet dragster did me proud and shot fire and smoke and hopefully entertained the crowd. After the runs we were invited to Mr. Dons pit area for some wonderful food. Now I have to tell you that usually when I go racing I loose weight, it will never be the case at No Problem Raceway. I don't know what I ate but it was amazing. My crew is fighting over who gets work these weekends.

Sunday morning and we celebrated the RFC service with about 200 other racers and fans. But it was time to get busy and get down to work and make one more pass to close out the weekend. But wait a minute. I forgot to tell you the best part......I don't know how to explain it so I will just put on a BIG photo to show you. They came over to show me, but during the race the stood on their motorhome. How cool was this!!!! Talk to you soon, luv ya
