Whats wrong with pit girls, Charlie??
There used to be a girl at old Puyallup Raceway Park in the early '70s that would dress up the then hand written ET slips with little smiley faces and hearts on them for me. We celebrated our 35th anniversary earlier this year! Of course, I've always told her the reason I really married her was that she made better fried chicken than my mom and could drive a stick shift,,, I had my priorities!

THAT is a great life story.

You already know I am trying to avoid an "R" rating.

Fried chicken better than mom's?
