No Sonoma...... : (
Well, to all my friends and family, we didn't make it to Sonoma this weekend. Glenn has been really sick since last Friday! So I got a double header of movies instead...lol!!!
The first show was Harry Potter..the half blood prince, in which I saw with a couple of my friends. Then when I returned home, Glenn was feeling a little better and wanted to get out of the house, so, we went to see Public Enemies. I loved Harry Potter, of course! Public Enemies, in my opinion, was too long and too many close-ups of Johnny Depps pores! Also, too much shoot'em up for me too. But, some people like that kind of stuff.
On to another subject real quick.... Parallel parking! Is it really that difficult? As I sit in my trusty little window chair, I'm watching this one guy who after turning around in the middle of the road and blocked traffic, tried twice to park behind my car - there was enough room for him - then he pulls out, goes down the street turns around again and parallel parks across the street and it took him about 4 times to get it straight in the spot. He doesn't have a big SUV or even a big car, it's a Nissan 4 door Sentra (I think). Amazing!
So, today I'm just taking it easy and filling you all in the best I can. Not much on the agenda today.......
Keep your fingers crossed that we will make it to Sonoma next weekend for the Divisional race.
Well, as always, stay safe and I'll see you at the races!!!

Surffest '09
Well, another GREAT show has come and gone! The day started at 5:00 a.m., for those of you who know me KNOWS that I am not too much of a morning person...lol!!! But I got up had some Coca-Cola and got a move on!! Glenn threw out his back and had a cold, but he was a trooper and got up and helped me out. We went to the storage yard and picked up the trailer. We made it to the American Legion around 7:30. We blocked the main street with our 48' trailer, unloaded the car and pushed her to the place where she would be shown. I left with Glenn and dropped the trailer back off at the storage yard, then brought Glenn home and left him back in bed to get better.
I was back at the Legion by 9:00 and already tired!!! Luckily, the voluteers there set up my little EZ UP for me, boy they were a God send! So, I started getting the dragster all cleaned up and getting myself together to meet the masses. And there were definitely some masses!
I met so many great people, as I usually do, at this show. I even met some "Southern Boy" Marines. One was from Kentucky and I think the other was from Tennessee! Boy if I got that wrong - I'm in trouble!!! I met this one gentleman who is a videographer and has a website that is pretty cool: www.postyourmusic.com there is a picture on the web site of him sitting in my dragster! The rest of the show was comprised of a chili cook off and a Woody car show.
I had one lady(who owned a woody) come up and and ask where the wood was on the dragster! I told her it flew off when I went down the track last time....she was laughing!!
The most attention I got was when I started the car up! That was the fun part!!!! It stopped everyone in their tracks - I think I scared a couple of people too! I warmed the dragster up a little then I would RAP the motor up to about 3500 RPM so it would vibrate the people standing around me. The Smiles I saw after that were wonderful! That's what makes what Glenn and I do GREAT! Well, the show went on till 10 p.m. and I was one tired Drag Race Girl!
Thank you sooo much to the American Legion Post #291 for inviting me and thank you to all the people who donated money to have your pics taken in the car!
Well, as always, STAY SAFE and I will see you at the races!!! Remember to check back regularly to see the pictures that will be posted!

Happening things.....
Well, I have a new penpal(email pal), her name is Riley and she is going into the 7th grade.
She was at Pearblossom elementary where we showed the dragster. The 6th grade class sent me thank you notes and Riley was the only one who sent me her e-mail address and requested that we become penpals. So, I obliged. Hopefully we will have a long friendship.
Onto other items....
Saturday July 18th American Legion Surffest '09!!!!! Be there or you really are a bbbbaaaadddd person! As you know, Glenn and I will be showing the car and also, letting people sit in the car and have their pics taken for $1 each. All proceeds will be donated to the AL post #291!!!!!
Then the following weekend, we will be heading to Sonoma, CA! It's RACE time again!!!
YEAH!!! I love the smell of VHT in the morning. I'm looking forward to seeing all our friends and going down the track! Not to mention, a big bread bowl of clam chowder!!! OOOOHHH man, to the Wharf I come - Ghiradelli's is a girls dream! Nothing like a huge caramel and chocolate sunday to make your day!
Other than that -
We will be back in Sonoma the following weekend as well. Sooooooo
stay tuned and I will have pictures and tells from the road. Maybe we'll even find a new place to go while we are up there.
Take care, and I'll see ya at the races! : )
