Hey, I just got back from the SEMA show yesterday. I was up there with a buddy. The show was a gass, we were up there for 2 days and saw a lot but not all. If you saw it all you would have walked 19 miles. We didn't. We rented electric carts and saw more than if we would have, had we walked it all. The carts are cool but they are 3 wheeled. My friend and I were racing them in the parking lot and I rolled mine in a corner. I did not hurt the cart or myself but was embarassed and laughing my ass off spread on the groud with the cart on top of me. A crowd gathered to see what happened and I felt really lame. They did a complete overhauln show there. Speed vision show was filmed there. The best cars I saw were Rad Rides by Troy, Unreal. The truck is taking forever. I get really frustrated with the rate of progress.
The Funny Car team I am with is at Bakersfield this weekend, My name is mudd for not going with them. I am tired as I just got off the 10 day fishing trip and left the next day for Vegas. Today I rest.

hurry up and get that truck put together!

I want you to show a certain texan what a retired fisherman can do when he puts his mind to it.

The truck was part of what I went to SEMA for. Lots of good mfgrs there in 1 place. I have to stretrch the social security by begging for some parts. I might have scored some valve stems and wheel bearings. We are moving along. At retirement racing, naps are the most important part of the day.....Jack
