Oh, I see. A big ole DUH from me. I should have caught that without looking like a real goofball! Curtis, every time I see a 'chopper, I think about RA, hope all is well my friend.

Dirka, you are getting ready to have some serious fun if you have never been on a track before. My first run ever was July 18, 2009. It was an absolute blast for an old man!! 11.3 seconds and a whopping 46.99mph.
ROFLMAO :roll: :roll:
Good luck on the track and wishing your wife a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the support and I think I read how that pass was soooooo fast :lol:

Thanks man, hope all goes well for your wife.

Thanks for the thoughts Rudy, you wouldn't believe how often I think of Jay and your family. RA is coming in tomorrow for about 10 days. Bringing his girl home to meet mom. :shock: :shock:

Curtis

First I hope your wife goes through her surgery ok. Please let us know.
Second, You have to get some video of your first trip to the track. You may make 1,000 passes in your lifetime, but you'll only make one first pass!! And we want to see it too!!
GOOD LUCK!!

Well of course I am going to be video taping my very first run and let all of y'all see it. I will never keep anything like that from you guys. The only thing that sucks is I got to wait till I'm out of the big sandbox to do that. So it will be a lil bit. Plus I got to build the car. I seen a 1956 Chevy stepside that I was thinking bout making a prostreet. What you guys think about that? Or should I go with a car instead of a truck? The reason being a truck is I found one for 1700.

DirkaDirka,
I hope you wife's hospital time goes well. We all pray and support for each other and the events that occur in our lives. There are so many members that I feel I know personally, but have never actually met.

As far as the first run. As many time as you go over it in your head and practice, there is no substitute for the first experience. Things will seem to happen in double time!! Just keep your wits and focus-focus-focus.

Good luck!!

Dave

Thanks for the support from all of you guys. I just wish when I do my first run at least one of you guys would be there but I dont know if you guys will still be racing or not. It will be in a couple years but I still cant wait. I think that would be awesome. Who knows I might have to drive back east just to run my first trip down the track. Wouldnt you guys just love that one?? :lol: So instead of seeing it on video you can laugh at me at the track!!

Trucks are cool, but I would build a car. Cars are more aerodynamic, easier to get good tried and true race parts. Not to mention typically are easier to sell when you get ready to upgrade. Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with being different, heck look at me, but a good quality NORMAL race car is a much easier first project. You can't go wrong with a Msss stange, (just can't quit say it, but I'm trying!) Camaro, Monte Carlo, Nova, Chevy II etc..
Take your time and make a good purchase!!!!

I think he just said all of you guys are old and might die off before then :lol: :lol: . J/K Dirka

Curtis

I saw that, but let it slide the first time.. DIRKA that's STRIKE 1 !!! lol.

Do I get a spanking after strike 3??? :shock: :lol:

No, you get a smack down. Remember, old age and treachery will always over come youth and skill. :D

Dave

:shock: :shock: :shock: that does not sound good at all :shock: :shock: :shock:

Hey Rabbit---repeat after me-----mmmmuuussstttt--aanngg---- you can do it. :lol: oh and is that a FORD Ranger bed on that Toyota I see??

Thought's & prayer's go out to you and family, Your post never out of line, Get well my friend, We need you to drive the short bus :!: :!: :lol: :lol:

Good eye,but you know what, it's still behind the Chevy motor.!! lol
Also have a Ffffrrrdd 9" rear too. Just bear with me I'm trying to say it.LOL
I use to be a Ffffrrrrd man. NEVER thought I would ride in Chevy much less own one.

Don't worry about the 3 strikes. I've probably got 20 by now!!

25--but who's counting :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks mopar. I think that was meant for me. I should be fine just slow recovery. No work for at least two weeks. No lifting could cause severe bleeding. They said to expect really bad sinus headaces for up to a month after the surgery. Not looking forward to that.

Well that just does not sound like much fun... sorry to hear about that. Get well my friend. Looks like John Wayne movies for awhile... that is what I would do I guess.

Thanks Scooter. Yeah, I told my wife I'd get a bell I could ring when I need her. She said if I did she would ring my bell! :lol: :shock:
