SSS, many thanks for the loan of your tow strap, the boys in the big Blue Bird bus was mighty happy to get off the salt before 8 PM.

John Noonan.....thank YOU much for the kudo's...!!

guess what i entered the first mile with d/t likely bent shift
forks that held me back all week....?.......(186)....

and Kaz.....hopefully you can see that i wasnt trying to
"retire" with my inactivity on salt last year d/t deployment to
Germany for a few months..........

Kaz...keep beating on your awesome machine......the speed WILL come...!!

OK the BIG NEWS in my book.....on POSITIVE side of things.....well tooooo many
to encompass here.....BUT ....Fred Vance....213+ mph in PRODUCTION......

WOW....that is likely the run of the week for me.......(let me be the first to
ask..... what size nitrous jet was that...?...).........:):)

and right there with Fred where the Kiwi's...(and Aussies...same thing right...?)....

NAMELY the AWARD team.......they ran 260+ on thurs and did NOT take it to impound
waiting for BUB...........WOW.......KUDOS.......Richard Assen and the rest of the stellar team.....

and Yaccouci running 280ish with flathead..UNBLOWN.....

Butler team battling with Falkner Livingstion team...and...and ....so many awesome achievements...

seeing Leslie P......A. Volk....Deb Dross...etc....

Joe :)

and OF COURSE....MY BRO BEING RECOGNIZED AS MAN OF YEAR  BY 200 MPH CLUB.....THAT IS
THE BIGGEST COOLEST THING THAT HAPPENED AT SW 09...!!!!!

It's the sign of a REAL racer when he'll cut and hack away at his brand new bodywork in search for more speed. Sincere congratulations Joe.
