Thanks Danica Fan !! We accepted 3 dates, today was the first one, a Carshow at my buddy’s Restaurant: Ferrell’s Cream Castle, it was chilly but sunny, and I brought a jug of fuel in case we got to fire it up. Towards the end, they asked us to fire up, took a few tries as Alky burners hate the cold !! It was so Loud and really crisp, we all had fun (after our ears stopped ringing) 😎

First race of the Season, we have a new rule… Have Fun !! 👍 It was great to see my buddies Joe Foster, Todd Atkins, James Hooker & his Pops Jim, with their 2 car team !! We all met at i57 Dragstrip in Illinois, it was 77* and Sunny. We made 3 passes: a bye run of 5.82 @ 116 MPH, then lined up against Joe’s Honey Badger Altered, ran 5.69 @ 118 to his quicker 5.66 !! For our 3rd run, we ran Todd in his BladeRunner dragster, he left on me, but I caught and passed him, with a 5.72 @ 118 MPH !! Couldn’t ask for a better day, racing with my Friends, track was really good, trailer towed great… If I ever wondered why I fought so hard, to keep running my funny car, today answered all questions !! 💕

We have a tire test coming up, either this coming Wed or Sat depending on weather, at Jeffers (my home track) where I’ll practice 60’ times and cutting a good light on a Pro Tree, with tire pressure changes between runs !! Then we’re off to Bonne Terre Dragstrip in Missouri for Autos 4 Autism on 4-20-2024 !! We’ll be Match Racing against TOJO Racing, which is my Friend Tonya Johnson in her blue Mustang !! Found another flyer for that event !! 😎

My house / shop was in the path of totality for 4 + minutes during the Solar Eclipse !! It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced, nothing can prepare you for it !! The street lights came on, the breeze cooled off by 10 degrees, birds got quiet, crickets started chirping… Took off the glasses, and looked directly at the sun, it didn’t even look real, the song “Black Hole Sun” came to mind, pulled out my phone, snapped some pics, most did not come out, it kept trying to use the flash !! But, I did get these, and I saw the Diamond Ring 💍 Now I understand why people who can afford it, chase them all over the world, I waited 3 years for it, didn’t disappoint and was totally worth it !! ☀️
