I'll be in the Hill Country that weekend. Big BD bash and cookout of one of my sisters.

Dan, is that the only Sept weekend you can get away? Don't miss getting to come down just because me and some of the others won't be here.

Wouldn't you rather spend some quality time with the spousal unit than help the rest of us hillbillys drink beer and operate power tools while fixing up our junk?

You haven't seen your wife since MAY 4th!!!!

Are you serious? I thought she moved to Missouri when you did!


I won't be available Labor day weekend, so I would sure hate to miss seeing you Dan. I hope we can work it out for another weekend. Let us know!

You know DHRA at Baytown is coming up too, right? I believe sometime in October. Any chance you can come down on "business" with FASS?

Who all is going to De Leon this weekend? I'd like to get us sectioned off so when more of our members show up we would be easy to park with.

It doesn't make sense for us to go...

the word I got was diesels run last - usually after midnight (), no nitrous in any class (bottle removal is doable), water/meth only in Modified (even though the tank is empty!), but the big problem is the 8K# weight class - no way we can make that happen - it's barely feasible to get down to 8500# for the quarter.

I was looking forward to using the new lunette ring adjustable SS hitch I designed, too!

Looks like we'll stay at the shop and make parts this weekend...

Not set in stone until I check with The Boss, but Labor Day weekend may be a go for me. You'll know, when I know...............

Nope...i have been flying solo up here since March of '06 to be honest. Seen Kerri about 10 times in the last year and a half.....She is staying with my folks at the moment because she has a good job we hate to loose right now. We want to get ahead a little first.

BUT the DHRA event is prob what the ticket needs to be used for. I forgot about that one......anyone got dates?

Why need a plane ticket if you will have your truck? Drive it down here you girly-man!

That would be great, Mister President... IF it's doable!

Ouch!
At this point, I'm going to go ahead and block off all weekends for September to better the chances I can make a meet....
Not directed at you, Justin! Your absences are USUALLY work related! But Charlie is keeping track of others.

Just kidding with ya. I'll have to get a note from the "Boss" to get the remaining absences excused.

BTW, I saw your Mach 4s just went back into the classifieds.
