Just got off the phone with Charlie Nelson. He'll be bringing a fellow racer from Salt Lake City with him. I'll be racing in the A/W Coupe race that Friday, and that will be about it for me in retro racing as I'll be moving in March to NC. Plus my guitar hobby is taking off rather well, so, there goes my time to that. Hope to see you guys in Dec, then Jan for the 'Cup.

We'll miss you Tom.  Hope to see you this month and learn more about your guitar hobby and other things.  All the best.

Thanks Tim,

Yeah the move to NC is pretty neat. Going to miss you guys, but, A guy has to do what he has to do. Tim, you've been stepping up your racing BIG time! Keep going; you are in the hunt. A bunch of great guys at BPR. You're in good hands.

Bill,

 True, just need to locate a track or two. I think they run some flexi classes there. Will find out from Guy Spaulding, as he 's in the area I'll be moving to.

Tom,

 

You know Mike Boemker, right(idare2bdul)? He was a BP regular who moved out to NC a couple years ago. Touch base with him about what tracks he knows about.

Doin' OK, Tom. Played open mics Tuesday, last night, and will again tomorrow. No rest for the wicked.

Tex, are you like Junior Brown? His version of "409" is classic!
