If anyone is going, it'd be nice to hook up and meet one another. I'm going with the Irwindale team. Hope to make it to the Pomona National Finals.

Wow Pat, I forgot those were coming up! I don't think I'll be making it to bakersfield to see ya, so best of luck! Heck with the new job I havn't been able to muster time to touch the poor chevelle in 3 MONTHS. Makes me sick, I just want to put her back on the road. Who all is gonna make it out there? Best of luck, and stay away from those silly red lights!

chris, I do have some trim parts. I'll throw them in the car and bring them along.

Thanks, Brandon. I sure hope Mr. Red doesn't rear his ulgy head.

Anybody from other track? Maybe Phoenix, Tucson, LV, Somoa, Infinion, others?

Jim, too bad you can't make it. Second in points is good. That's where I ended up.

Bob, I'll keep an eye out for Marv and say Hi.

Pat, know that several of my friends from Samoa will trekking down to Bakersfield. Look up Dennis Ellsworth in the Wonder Bros. dragster that turns 8.60's in 1/4mi. and say hello! He's a hoot and you will have a hilarious conversation with him! Tell him hi from BlazerBob! Wish that I could make it down but have no oil pressure! Have a great race!

Hey Bob, I lived in Blue Lake for 20 years and worked in Eureka. Still have some property there. I really liked it and hope to return someday. I flew model airplanes at Somoa. Do they still fly there? I'll look up Dennis.

Pat, Samoadragstrip.com Great website for such a small track, check it out! Also I made slight typo with names for contact. Dennis is Rick Ellsworth brother, its actually Rick that I know is going to be there and possibly his brothers 16 yr.old son Dennis Jr. driving an almost identical SBC-dragster like Rick's! Anyway, tell them all hi for BlazerBob and have fun at the races!

www.famosoraceway.com (http://www.famosoraceway.com) is where the finals are being held.. there is a message board that sees some traffic but not much.

Chris, is there a chance I have seen your car around Visalia the last couple of years? I go to most of the local shows and dont often forget a Chevelle.
