This is often the problem-we like to blame schools for the problems kids have, but a lot of the time it is as much the fault of the parents as it is of the students. When I was a kid, it used to piss me off that my parents made me spend so much time reading and studying when other kids were out playing. Now that I have a great job that requires me to read and study all the time, I'm not as pissed off at them as I was as a kid. I guess they knew what they were doing.

Yeah, mine kept getting smarter and smarter after I passed about 30/35 years of age.

Having Jeannie around all this time sure didn't hurt you any too! hahaha

Deb asked me if you were going to Topeka this year.

They werent teching the car when it crashed. They take the seat belts and cut them in 1/2 and take the chassis tag off. Anything that is certified when it crashes gets this. The TECH guy is over the seat I'm sure cutting the belts.

If you are really hurt, responsive or non responsive they will cut your firesuit off, too!
I told them how much that suit cost, but they kept cutting...

Right up the road from you on highway 71 in Carthage, Mo. I made it down your way several years back on my way to No Problem. I got totally confused at some goofy intersection in town and forgot to find you. When I didn't see you at the track I was going to stop on the way home but went thru town around midnight. I keep planning on getting back but as my wife says, I always have plans for something but never finish them. My race car is still sitting since the first shake down runs 5 years ago.

I gave up the boat after we ran at Firebird several years ago and started on a Dart super stocker. Wow did I ever miss that cost estimate. haha

We had big plans to be there because I will be in Tulsa a couple of days but then I got stuck on call for the weekend so I have to get back home Friday. After I whined a lot she thought we might try to get to Topeka.
