Truth is all the racers know they gotta be "ON" when racing you & just make mistakes... good job !
I was -.010 red in the final. I added 1 1/2lbs of air to the front tires and came out a little harder int he final. I was looking for a Double O. Learned my lesson for the ON KILL MODE. Lucky for me Ellis went red first (-.08X).

You Will still be in charge of passing the plate so come prepared. Lets all eat, drink, race, and enjoy each other as this 2009 season comes to an end. Be safe traveling, we'll see y'all there.

Glad Danny will be there, you guys don't want me doing the service.
I will have the wine (Holly Water) for the service.
I will extra chairs for the service.
I will have to watch Edgar with the plate.
OH, We will DRINK. I am fully Stocked.
Will only need ice from those staying at hotels. (hint - hint) :o
I have a surprise for all, no one will believe it. Danny will be shocked.

See you all there. Can't wait for the BBQ's.

Default P98 Memphis

Rob, I plan on bringing the Potato Juice (VODKA) and plenty of OJ, sounds so healthy already! We will also have to put some grills together as I am bringing a steer that grew up in west Texas and won't leave Memphis. We'll put our heads together when we get there for the details. I think Danny is still working on the bullitins for the Sunday morning service, I'm not sure if he wants the benediction before or after the alter call but we'll work all that out. Be careful traveling. What is your ETA?

You guys are so funny! Congrats on the win Rob. It seems like you are making winning a habit. I am looking forward to racing and hanging out with you guys at Memphis. I am planning to teach, preach, answer questions, etc. on Sunday morning. You can be in charge of passing the plate (oil drain pan) again if you want to. LOL. Are you coming through Knoxville on your way? If so, when will you be coming through?

We should make plans dude, I'll kick in for gas/tolls and maybe I'll procure some type of pit vehicle by then so that I can get around there a little easier/better than I did back in '07.

Hey Danny, I have a clean drain pan for the collection. I will be traveling I-78, I-81 & I-40. I will not be passing through Knoxville. I did load more chairs int he trailer. The trailer is so packed, I'm not able to fit a propane tank for the grill. The grill is in the closet with the chairs. I have a certificate to show your. I don't think you will be insulted - but will be laughing. Will your friends be coming down too?

I was thinking that there should be a late night sevice. That would be fun.

If I arrive before you, I will save some spots for everyone. I hope to arrive just after mid day on Thursday to find some prime real estate.

After I-81, I-40 goes through Knoxville. Exit 402 is about 2 miles from my house. Depending on what time you come through, we could caravan to Memphis together. If you decide to get there first, please save a spot for me and my friend that was at ZMax with the golf cart. He will have a 40' trailer. Also Paul Smith is coming up from Atlanta. Talk to you soon.
