Not only is Sarge grumpy and old Rory, but he ugly too!
Beth looks much better behind the wheel. Seriously though I have been driving the P/SA convert the last two races at Joliet and this past weekend. ------------------

Nope, just FoMoCo, NHRA, IHRA, NMRA, NASCAR decals or none at all. I am not fan enough of any "stick and ball" sport to deface any of my vehicles with their teams decals. ------------------

Thanks to EVERYONE for all the support. It was fun riding. Now maybe soon (next week or so) I will be driving. I have much respect for the car, the speed and the sport. Right now I am just in awe of it all. But now the ooohhhhs and aaahhhhhs will end and the education will begin. Thanks again. More to this saga coming soon! ------------------
