But how soon they forget who was there to bail them out when they had money problems, and not one of them has bothered to pay me back. O'k i'm a little bitter, but that's my problem. I admit i was a little into the bottle when i made the last post, but in reality it's pretty much true.
I had an old 66 Nova and wish i had it back, but that's history, and too that i say hang in there and it will get done, i'm pulling for ya.

Forgot to add. last yr. a gen 4 corvette won at the world finals, it was a blown car and the guy said it was his last race, he had tried to win for yrs. He finally won one. On his car he had 56 stickers from the world finals that he had attended. He said he had been to every since he was 22 yrs. old. The interviewer said MY GOD that's makes you 78 yrs old, his answer was i guess so but i never count yrs.
If that's not inspiration i've never heard the word. By the way his victory and story was on the cover of National Dragster, to him i solute us old foggies who still have the heart to keep on trying. I have never won a National event and i have been to many. Maybe i have 8 yrs. to go to win one, who knows, but until they close that casket door i'll be trying, i know that's dedications, but that's just me.
