    Make a good bracket car. Lots of windows to see your opponent. :)

    Yeah Ryan...It will be interesting to see what all you have done to the Fox the next time I see it. You had made some pretty good progress on getting it going when I saw it at the Cruise. :)

    I hope Gene, Robbie, Adam, Don, and the rest of the crew, come to the next meetup. It was fun haniing out with Tony and Ryan and the others.

    Ruth and I were up that way today on our Goldwing trike. We participated in the Anthony Holly foundation memorial run. This was the 5th one, first for us. He was a 24 year old Glendale police officer and Iraqi veteran that was killed during a traffic stop about 5 years ago. He did a lot of work with kids and all the money goes for kids activites. There were 230 registered participants. Had a great time. Hopefully we can do it again next year.:)

    Oh Ya, we have a football team. Well kind of. They havent got my attention yet cause when i flip to the game they are usually already losing so I flip back to Nascar and forget about them.

    Well I like Nascar but cant remember the last time I watched a whole race. Going to a race is alot of fun. But sitting there watdching it on tv for hours dosnt happen much. Ill check in on it while doing housework or have it on in the garage while working out there. I try to catch the last 30 laps or so atleast to see the excitement.

    Now NHRA, i cant watch that. I would rather watch farming. to much downtime for too little racing. Drag racing can be fun to do but isnt much of a spectator sport to me.

    I can't remember the last time I watched a Nascar race. Once in a while NHRA when I don't have anything else to do. We go to Phoenix for the NHRA races only on Friday since I know a lot of guys that race there and there all there on Friday. I very rarely even watch any races when I'm at the track racing myself. :)

    The last time I saw a NASCAR Race, was when I was visiting the heart of Dixie several years ago, and attended the race at Talladega. I don't watch it on TV that much...

    ...it was a great race....Dale Jr. won and did a burn out on the grass when it was over...took me 2 hours to drive out of that place! Largest sporting event I've ever attended. Great people...great food...alot of fun! :)

    I know what you mean. I used to work for the telephone company. I'd come up out of a manhole to get a tool and forget what I went to get.:)

    Resto, I'm still waiting for your membership payment for joining the Desert Mavericks. the fee is $50 yearly, payable to me, I accept cash, paypal, and parts in exchange. the benefits are that you get to post in this thread, and I'll let you know when an event is planned.

    Actually now that I think of it, I havent gotten any of your membership payments. Pay up suckers, I got some projects to finish.
