Mike if you show up Saturday make sure and look me up at the DRAW auction in the afternoon in the big tent on the north side of the track, just ask any of the volunteers where I am at and they will find me!

NHRA stands for "Next Hard Rain Area" and we had it all weekend! had to sit in th ladies bathroom Saturday night after the auction cause the tornado sirens were going off! we went over Sunday and watched the 1st round and 2nd rounds, got back to the RV just before the storm hit and wiped out my new awning. oh well, had a blast all 3 days and raised over $30K for DRAW. The added bonus was the wife and I were awarded Saturday night on stage with Bob Frye and Alan Rienhart, the DRAW volunteers of the year with a plaque!! It was the nicest thing thats happened to us in years and shows that we donate our spare time to a fantastic cause! I will post some pics later.

Yeah Chris, that's why you were in the ladies room. :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: Just Kidding.
Congrats on the award. Helping others is reward in itself, being recognized is icing on the cake.
