>Oh man that is cool! Which dragboat events in TX? I will probably be at the one in Marble Falls with that Top Fueler I do the site for this year.

Marble falls is where I have been before. A friend of mine has a lake house on Lake LBJ, which is just up the street from the races.


>For Christmas, I got the hubby a project car, a '69 Firebird. It was really rough but she's coming around nicely now. We went ahead & put the mild roll bar kit in it, but it's mostly a friday night date car. We thought we might take it to the track on occaison, but mostly to drum up some more engine building jobs to bring in cash to support the habit... errr drag boat I mean :)

I have gone in steps with my ride. I have had it for about 4 1/2 years now, and am just now gaining the
financial wherewithall to really go nuts. I have a roller 480 Poncho motor in the works that will burn pump gas through
Rock&Roll Engineering prepped Edelbrock heads. I'll have to e-mail you a picture when I get home.

Boy, I tell you what. Between a job that takes 50 hours + a week, trying to stay current with technology,
helping out (and getting help) here, having a girlfriend and a Hot Rod, I am just about swamped.

At least its winter and the Lake isn't tempting me...
