Hey Steve!
I've wondered where you've been...we thought about crashin' your place on the 4th. ;)
The Chevelle hasn't been out of the garage in a month. Too much rain every weekend.
Thought about going this Saturday but got some bad news today...torn rotator cuff in right shoulder.
MRI on Thursday will tell the tale on how bad. :rolleyes:
Rebuilding two cars in two months did me in.
Plus, just swapped motors in Dana's Chevelle last weekend.
Sucks getting old...

Ouch.

Bill, you still going up to CanAm with your shoulder like it is? I bought some Six Flags tickets today. I"m shooting for Friday, the 30th, at the park. Which means I will drive over there Thursday evening. Friday evening I will head directly home to HSV, unless you need me to do some "heavy lifting" around the house for you. ;)

Damn Bill, that ain't good. Let us know how the MRI turns out. Also let me know if you need me to help with anything while you are down. You know I am alway willing to give that 70 a little track time.. ya know just to make sure she's all broke in for when you are feeling better graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Hey Mike,
You got a place to stay Thursday night? You know you can always shack up at my house, we got plenty of romm and are only 15 minutes from Six Flags.

Yes, CanAm is still a go.
And Thursday evening before Six Flags is good for us. Give me a call earlier that week when your plans firm up (based on the weather, I assume).
And don't forget that intake!!

I just got the OK from my cardiologist to go ahead with the MRI. Needed to be sure those stents stay put. ;)
Actually the car was at Commerce a month ago. Really a lousy day...hot and then rained briefly mid afternoon. Pit pavement temp was 147*, honest! Traction and air were nasty...best run of the day was a disappointing 11.3 @ 119.

Sucks getting old... Damn, Bill. I sure hate to hear that :( I wish you would have called me; I would gladly have come over to help. However I know you're just as stubborn as I am :D Get well soon and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I've still got those tires laying in the garage if you want to try them. We missed you last weekend. Newby cleaned house in the Night of Fire make up race for trophy street and nearly won the Wally in the second race. I think he won 9 rounds that day. Looking forward to seeing you at Georgia's House of Sweat soon.

Thanks, Kenny. I need to get over there and pick up those tires soon.
Awesome news about Mike! graemlins/thumbsup.gif
That rascal's got the right idea...Mr. Consistant :cool:
FYI...I just found out that a Shell station on the corner of Hwy 140 and Hardscrabble in Roswell sells 100 race gas... $4.99/gal.

Bill sorry to hear about that r-cuff. I tore mine real bad in 1979 playing baseball {ran into the dugout trying for a foul ball} took every bit of 5yrs to recover. Good luck man graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Gee Mike...thanks for the cheerful news...5 yrs huh! :D
I'll be on social security by then...well almost. ;)
Where have you been lately??
Do you do any cruises on your end of town?
A couple of guys from work want me to hang out at one on the southside some Saturday night.

I'm thinking if BB_Mike's gonna be in town July 30, he ought to stay over one more night and lets all do Atlanta Dragway on the 31st.

Good Idea Mr. Newby. What about it BB_Mike?
Bill, at CB04 you and Dana were mentioning a Cruise up in the Woodstock are that included a trip to the Drive-in movies. What was that cruise and when is it?

But,it's a great idea!!

The cruise we mentioned is at Riverstone (off I-575 above Canton) and is held the 3rd Saturday of the month (this weekend).
The drive-in is in Blue Ridge...

I've got my grandson's 1st birthday party this Saturday afternoon. No clothes or wimpy toys from me...I bought him a creeper. :cool:
We talked about maybe going to the Dallas 1/8 mi drags after that...depending on weather.
Nothing really firm though.
Let me know if you're interested in the cruise/drive-in.
We may could do that instead...

I might bring wife/baby up to Riverstone for a little while on Saturday.

My weekend is pretty much free. If you guys what to plan something, I'm game for coming along. I'll have the girlfriend, but this isn't a democracy I'm runnig here. ;)

Steve,
Thanks for the kind offer for Thursday. I'll be at Bill's place that night. If something comes up for him, then I will give you a call. Maybe if I suffer a heat stroke on Friday, and don't want to drive home for 3 hours that night, I can crash at your house? We'll see. But, thanks again.

I wonder how the traffic from Bill's place will be on a Friday morning heading toward I-20? The park doesn't open until 10:00. I'm sure I can leave by 9:00 and be just fine.

Anytime Mike! If you want to stay around for the weekend your welcome to stay at the house. If y'all want to we can all get together Friday evening for some adult beverages and maybe a little cooked animal on the grill then maybe Saturday all head up to Commerce for a little Racin', Let me know what y'all think.

Regards,
