But you'll be there for moral support anyway, right?

 

[Paul Herioux]

Sounds like a great way to spend the first weekend of my summer. Anyone got an extra rack that will be open on Saturday night? There's now way I'll have the roof fixed on the 5'ver by then. Got to do something to make up for missing Muncie this year .

Later,

Paul

See everyone there this weekend!

United Parcel Service had mechanical failure on airplanes at 3 stops to deliver my transmission parts from DTT. The last one was at Louisville, 5:00 am Fri now my parts will not be delivered till Monday. Talk about a bunch of crap. It cost me 30 dollars out of 40 that will not be refunded to me from the campground due to not giving them 48 hours notice. I will lose points not showing up to race. I beg all of you to use Federal Express from now on.

Kirk

Me and the wife are losing vacation days we used to leave early to have a nice weekend in Wisconsin. I want to sue.

 

[DHRA]

We sure did miss you Kirk, and boy was I surprised to not see you there. I hope your blood pressure has come back down! See you the 17th in Michigan

 

[Partyat33]

We missed you Kirk, that was my first race and had a good time. I think I am hooked.

[Paul Herioux]

You guys actually raced? I checked the local weather report at 10am and it was showing thunderstorms all around the Milwaukee area so I decided to stay home and work on the crew cab instead. Guess next time I will call the track. I'll manage to hook up with the crew sometime this summer, withdrawal is setting in bad.

Later,

Paul

Was a good day at the track. The DMAXs took it all home. Dennis ran good and the lady from MN ran great. Was another lady in a Ford with a Maxi-dump racing too.
