Tony Shumaker to (TF Dragster); Jack Beckman (over TJ, jr in TF Funny
Car); Richie Stevens (Pro Stock)-but Jason Line won the 2006 NHRA Pro Stock Championship (locked in & given the Walley); Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle)...if you can believe they had a winner with all the redlights from the motorcycles. The ole US Army pro stock motorcycles sucked;both redlighted. I enjoyed seeing ole John Forces face when Tommy Johnson, Jr spanked that butt !! I wish he would do something about his voice; I can't hardly stand to watch Driving Force to listen to John talk hurts my throat (too much nitro & screaming). Man I was hoping Tommy Johnson, Jr would win but he's running damn good this year. His wife; Melanie was running & leading the points around May but has fallen. Pomona is coming.... |

Ah too bad you would be so impressed with Kasey; he's truly a great
person & makes time for his fans or just anyone that wants to say hi to him. Maybe you'll get to meet him next time. FYI..I've joined the Official NASCAR Club & going to try & be the State director for GA; so keep on watching NASCAR & supporting the sport. Hope you had a great weekend |

Well being born & raised pretty much in the same location (Norcross near
85) since 1964 (I'm 42) & I even work for the county always loved & swore I'd never leave Georgia .... but guess what? In 9 years I'm retiring & getting the hell out of GA !! I'm thinking Charlotte, NC or Columbus, IN; both are really nice but Charlotte will be another Atlanta in 15 years but Columbus,...nah; it's awesome. I HATE to see what the policitians have allowed Atlanta to become; it's all about money, power & pure selfishness.. not the people that live here, their kids, education, etc.... I'm very ashamed of Atlanta/Georgia in general. I will say that Atlanta has proven that we're just not some slow 20 years laid back city/state but then again not one damn policitian here has any BALLS !! |

LOVE DRAG RACING & NASCAR ! ! I got into drag racing when I was 17 yrs
old in Commerce, GA. It was my 1st drag race so I picked out a car that would be my favorite. I picked Billy Meyer (TF Funny Car) because Burt Reynolds & Hal Needham owned the car & Burt Reynolds lived local at that time. I was standing at the fence behind the starting line & this security guy came up & opened the gate & said "this guy said for you to come in", Well the guy was Mickey Shultz from Anaheim, CA that worked for Chief Auto Parts (Billy Meyers main sponsor); next thing I know I'm in their Ford stationwagon going down the strip with the team to get Billy Meyer & his car...that's how I got into drag racing. I worked for them for the next few years (PR, selling t-shirts, helping get tires, etc..just whatever). I watched & learned over the years; met every driver/team & still friends with them today. I had a Quaker State security guy give my name to a guy in Utica, NY that needed help with motorcycle drag racing so 2 weeks later I'm in Hollywood, FL working a motorcycle drag race. Then a few races later I was in Pocono, PA & that's where I met Larry "Spiderman" McBride (TF motorcycle) & I went to work for their team for the next 5 years. My best friend I met 4 years ago; his best friend was 1/2 owner of the #38 BUSCH team in which Kasey Kahne just came on board as their driver & I'm still following Kasey Kahne (which he's here now in Atlanta for the race). I have a friend that works on Gary Scelzi team, & good friends with Tommy Johnson, Jr (TF Funny Car)& his wife, Melanie Troxel who drives TF Dragster. I'm 42 years old & still just LOVE & CRAVE the smell of nitro & burning rubber ! ! Any of you that race; good luck & you're lucky to be able to enjoy something that you like. |

COOL FOLKS; really nice people here. My friend "mlomonaco30" told me
about this place Tuesday; so here I am. Well thanks M for the great compliment; you are also quite the "firecracker" yourself. Maybe that's we get along; we like to have fun & meet people. Hey amiri0046 yes Dunwoody counts; nice area too! Thanks for the super nice email LaceyElizabeth; I'm excited about meeting people on here. I'm sure some of you may have tried "Match.com"; well my friend M on here & I both have & were both discussing how much we hated it. Have any of you had good or bad experiences with match.com? (just curious) Well I'm heading to Atlanta Motor Speedway to have dinner with my friend who drives Erin Crockers hauler & her gas man then it's garage & suite passes for the weekend !! GO KASEY KAHNE # 9 (go get you some boy) |

KASEY KAHNE & ELLIOTT SADLER (actually any driver for Evernham) but I do
like Mark Martin & a few other drivers. This weekend is the Atlanta race & getting closer to the end of the chase. I'm chewing my fingernails off every weekend. I just got into NASCAR about 4 years ago; a friend worked for Kasey when he first came to NASCAR BUSCH Series from Sprint Cars plus several friends that are into all areas of NASCAR (Arca, Truck, BUSCH, CUP)..I have my garage passes for this weekend !! I've been an NHRA nut since I was 17 years old & have 2 friends that drive in Top Fuel & another friend that works on TF team; so I love my nitro ! ! LET'S GO RACING !! |
