Hmmm, Its rather interesting typing to yourself as I'm sure no one is going to read this. I believe the term orphan web site could just about apply here. But never the less I feel since the web site is here an update of some kind is in order. Where to begin?

2004 was the start of a downhill spiral that has just recently turned and faced the sun once more. After spending a large sum of money, at least for me, a brand new short block was installed in the car. Had a successful outing in Woodburn and headed for the Foxhunt in Spokane. A distracted new crew member didn't quite get the number 5 rod bolt tighten up and I proceded to destroy the Block, Crankshaft, Camshaft , Oil Pan, Most of the rods and pistons and 1 head. At this point I stuffed the car in the shop and walked away from it until about 2 months ago. During this time I worked on other peoples cars but really didn't have the heart to put mine back together. To put it simply, the fun light had gone out. I won't bore you further with details of events during the 2 years away but I simply started missing the fun I use to have. Being at the track with good friends, talking with old and new fans of either me or of drag racing is just fun. After a lot of encouraging from my longtime girlfriend and best pal Jessica and a whole bunch of pestering from another driver (Mark) finally got me going. I put the car all back together with all new parts and on the 22nd of July took it out for a test run in Spokane. Wasn't even sure if I remembered how to drive but it felt good even if I did black track to the 1000' mark.

Looks like I'll be pulling double duty at the World Finals in August. I still work on Dean Alexander Racing"s Top Fuel dragster and I'll be driving my funny car. Should be an eventful weekend if nothing else. I would like to say that the new management at Spokane Raceway Park is doing a great job and improving the track every weekend. I would also like to take a moment and say that although alot people had bad things to say about Oroville Moe, the Man always treated me well and gave me a fun place to race. I have a lot of great memorys from SRP. For that I thank you Oroville and I wish you and yours the best.

Ok now with any luck at all I'll be able to make a few more frequent updates here on the web. If for now other reason then for me to read. Thanks for looking and reading the rantings of a disgruntled match racer.
