Yeah, okay, whatever -- give me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send you a bumper sticker.  Thanks. Thunder -- for not telling him that I'd send Nancy over to pose for a photo opportunity. :roll:

Lynda,

I ain't sure but I think Jon thinks Nancy's fine art work only looks good posed next to race bikes (and YES it does) but what he has over looked is the fact that having her pose with my Cars would be even better !!!!   :evil: :evil: :cheers:

Charles -- have a camera with you next weekend.  Even though you'll ONLY have the Vickie -- Nancy can look good against the black background (my opinion is that she looks good against any background).  If it's sunny -- maybe we can take a super-duper photo to use when you take the car to shows.

Jon,  you have a deal,,,, now let's hope for bright Carolina Blue Sky's and 72 degrees and a 5mph tail wind/breeze to keep the flying critters away.

See ya next Friday

    You guys have fun at the races....  Here is a video that shows our 268mph 1/4 and 285mph mile time.  As you may notice the sound is terrible(sorry)also you will see our blower pipe separate via the hood poping up.  There is 2-3 seconds of coasting before the mile marker.  Wonder what the time could have been if we were able to excelerate thru the three?

I wish I was driving, but my dad was.  I usually drive at El mirage.  If things go well at bonneville then I may drive there as well.  We are definately going to make the may meet.  Engine assembly should start Saturday. :cheers:

Since the day is almost over on the east I just wanted to say April Fools. :evil:  We will do everything we can to make sure we make the May meet.  I just hope that I didn't jinx our effort by playing a little prank on some. :-D  Thanks for putting up with my silly antics.  :cheers:
