Default Somers NY Breaking News, Local Man does rain dance

Somers N.Y.,Nov. 7,2008 It was reported today that a local senior citizen was seen today dressed in ceremonial american indian garb complete with feathered headress and painted face,chanting and dancing in a local field near here, when asked what his intentions were he replied that it was a rain dance,we contacted Professor Herman M. Merriwether from the American Museum of History in N.Y.C. for a comment he said he has never heard of a rain dance chant like the one being used quote"HEY-YA HO-YA- HEY- YA- HO- YA NOT DIALED IN BUT I'M GONNA WIN HEY-YA-HO-YA-HEY-YA-HO- YA. Neighbors said it's just some crazy old man that drives a red Corvette, they further stared that he always gets crazy around the time the local dragstrip closes for the season....

Guys..

Common let me know if I can STOP dancing .. I just turned 66 and am gonna have a heart attack if I gotta keep this up much longer... I NEED 2nd place in the 11.5

My Driver has a small cushion in the Bracket.. so it would help her..

All joking aside.. I really WANT to get it IN!! I even put my slicks in Ralphs truck, & have street tires on my car to drive fown... as I post this is 7:45 am and its misting up here n Somers

I'm keeping in touch with Trischman...and call the track for updates..

If it STOPS how long do u think it will take to get the track in RACE condition.. we have 1 3/4 hr ride
