What better place to have a stacker celebration than the newly opened HOOTERS in West Springfield Mass. Those in attendence were. Hit or Miss, Shooter, Glassman, King pin ,and Fab Man. We did discuss your trip and all, glad you got out of the snowbank alive and we all wish you good luck west. And Jack, the next time I see you, let me know who you think the 5 attendies are.

GOOD LUCK out there

Dave --I've got it down to four out of five -- maybe 'till i see you next it'll come to me .I assume when you had the stacker party at Hooters your wives were along right .And why wasn't I invited to the party ? Thank Marc for me .
Dave Ring -- maybe we should think about going into the donut business .
Rich - too bad about all the snow you'll shovel today - I'll think of you in a few hours when we line up for our first shot -- you really should try to get here sometime soon .
BUCK180-- fire up the generator and power up your computer ............
Sammy - Spoke with Wayne last night -he made it OK - Jerry McNeish couldn't get out to make the trip with him - haven't seen John Shaul yet ..........

I lived in Riverside in 68 when the SMOG was "good". We couldnt tell there was a mountain range till January when the winds from the desert had blown smog out to sea. It is impressive....

Headline on todays USA Today "5700 canceled flights, worst since 9/11"

The best move so far Jack was going to Newark and getting out of town before the snow

Again , good luck to all

Thanks Dave -- at this point I'm jinxed for sure because if I do well at this event the truth will come out - it wasn't my idea to get out of Dodge early before the storm - guess who's it was ? I'll never hear the end of it .................

We're only minutes from the start - just waiting for the call -- weather 53 degrees - barometer 29.05 - 59% humidity but starting to burn off -they just called ..........

You're really something else with your updates, Jack! Very cool. This is KJ Jones...Evan Smith's buddy, former NY resident who now lives in SoCal (I'm the guy who had the Atco rental in '97 that you brought the Chieftain Firebird and a black Nova Stocker to). Bryan Phillips and me hung out with you in the stands at Pomona a few years ago.

My boys (Ward Alston and Bryan Phillips) bailed out on me and went back East, but I'll be out at the Fairplex tomorrow (Friday) to catch Stock/Super Stock. I'll try and pass by your pit for an in-person hello. Hope all is well and good luck. You had some trip. I hope everything plays out well for you at the Winternationals!

First q-pass is in for Stock and SuperGas... pretty sporty with the exception of many guys spun hard in the right lane -- hope they get that fixed soon .Soon as I find some sheets I'll give you more .BTW , I started the year off with a good 1000 ' pass and then had to get towed back by a quad -- small electrical issue than I can fix quick ............more soon ..................SuperStock up next .
