    at the et finals in bakersfield california i did an interview in the staging lanes. the women told me she was hired by espn for the nhra today show. got a call from a friend today that said he saw me on todays show. was kind of bummed out that i didn't get to see it. got a call a little while ago from a guy i race with and he just bought a 71 maverick race car for his son and had a few questions about brakes, etc. when we finished he said he taped the show and would bring it to the next race for me.:)

    Some real nice and good looking fellow has that episode recorded on his TiVO and can put it on VHS or DVD. He's a real nice guy and better looking than he is nice. He might can be persuaded to make it available.:rolleyes:

    That's pretty good! Should have heard the laughter when I thanked Hertz Rental Cars and Continental Airlines during my speech.
