I am sure Robin needs a new lighter and he seems to like to steal them from Tracey. LOL.

Just a thought - what do the local cops think is the biggest group of speeders on the roads and highways?
If they can be attracted to the speedway (for a price) then it can become a new age of prosperity.
Not to mention safety - since the truth will out on a real racetrack! Racing on public roads becomes crap if the real thing is possible.
Just like in the old days - the kidders and the no shidders will sort themselves out, and then become passionate about it...
Put the word out in the streets that BLING can run there, and the problems may have a mutual solution.
Profitably, I might add...

Well, the dirt track out here is going strong, so it must be the GM that is the problem. There are plenty of cars willing to go to the track and race.
Hey Cris, what has Robin been up to lately???? Bingo???

They should contact the local FM ROCK station.
Ya know?
"Run what ya brung - no matter how short you hung..."
I hate like hell to see a track go down. You guys need to keep it alive for YOURSELVES
Something must be possible, too many race tracks have gone away
DON'T LET IT DIE!!!
But if tracks all go away - there will still be racing in the streets, won't there?
That is the threat hanging over the police and highway patrol...
Ugly, but a useful tool
We'll race anyhow! It is our nature

HEY Everyone!!
surgery went great...they were so backed up yesterday morning!
my surgery was scheduled for 8 am...I got to the hospital at 6 am....and finally got to pre op at 8:05!
made it to the operating room at 8:36...woke up in post op at 9:30!
about 11 am they got me a real bed instead of the post op cot...
while changing bed I got up and walked 100 feet to the bathroom,then back!
I was in post op til a little before 3 pm...no room at the Inn!!
Ended up in a private room with a nice view of south Mountain!
lots of visitors from the bariatric center....and the surgeon finally called at 2 pm to release me!!
so i am home, with very little pain!
