Live from Las Vegas -- NHRA LucasOil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Today I feel like Willie Nelson -- you know -- "On the Road Again" .As Debbie and I sit in the Newark Airport waiting to board I was thinking just how lucky I am to be on my way to a mini "Western Tour" . Vegas is always fun and this time we can race and take in the SEMA show along the way.Not to mention eat some great food and -- and hopefully spend some time catching up with some of my friends from the "other coast". And maybe if I'm lucky go a few rounds . Time to board.......but I'll try and keep everyone up to date starting with tomorrow's test and tune at Las Vegas Strip ..........later .

Jack a man of your wealth and stature , I would have thought would have put a sign in the dealership window saying see ya Dec. 1st . Loaded up the motor home picked up Deb and started driving west . Think about it famous Rt 66 , Wall drug , The black hills , Rushmore , Yellowstone... and Deb could have hit the Mall of America along the way . Think about all you could have written about along the way ! Hey have fun my friend and do your sleep'n on the plane .

Pudgie, you obviously don't know that Jack still has his Communion money!

[Jack Matyas]

Well, we managed to get here -- a little late but here none the less .Way too late to get to the track tonight but I'm sure that made Debbie happy -- she's ready for food and gambling -- in that order ! ! Me -- I'm still pissed at the Budget rental people -- they promised me a Chevrolet and I ended-up with a Toyota . I just knew I should have called my friend at Enterprise -- when will I learn ?

Scubasteve -- yes, that was my car -- leaking all over Billy's truck .

Stage1scott -- Thanks and stop by in Pomona and say hello .

Mr.McCarthy -- Pay this bill is not for the faint of heart regardless of what Mr.Nees says .

Pudgie -- Actually the sign says be back soon -- gone fishin' -- remember I'm a used car guy -- we fudge a little ! ! !

Mr.Nees -- how did you ever know I still had that money ?? That was 48 years ago ...........And still earning interest .

[Ron Brown]

Jack,Toyota instead of chevrolet, that should call for a discount on your bill since you were promised a real car.

Jack, I know not to call him Mr. Nees and you've known him 47 years longer than I have!

Dave, over the years Jack and I have called each other a lot of things.
