Family Appreciation Day at March ARB

What a wonderful show! Dunk booth, 3-legged race, food, goodies, pony rides, and a dragster!

Our day started at 5 a.m., we picked up the trailer and headed out. We got to the main gate at March ARB and met an interesting "young" man. He was checking everyone in and of course we had to open up the trailer and he made sure we weren't carrying anything bad. After we made it through the gate, we met up with one of the airmen and he led us to where we were to set up. Major Hendricksen squared us away! We had our own EZ UP with a Drag Race Girl, LLC sign on the front of it.

As soon as we pulled out the car, people started gathering and asking questions. The first question is always "How fast do you go?" then the second is "How big is the motor and what's the horsepower?" The variety of reactions are always fun to see. Then, the greatest reaction is when the person asking finds out that I'm the one who drives the car. Their mouth hits the ground and then they ask "How did you get into this sport?" My response is usually "Legally or Illegally?" Then they start laughing...... : ) that's the response I love! Then I just blame my my dad! Sorry dad, had to do it! ; )

Well, back to the show! We had goody bags for the kids and troops with items donated from K&N, Lucas Oil, Harley Davidson Fullerton, American Legion Post #291. We had a camera and printer set up, courtesy of the ARB, so everyone could have their picture taken. A friend of mine, Barbara, came up with the idea of a photo folder. It was a great idea....everyone who had their pics taken, got the pic put into this folder that has Drag Race Girl on the front of it and our contact info on the back.

We met a lot of great soldiers as well as their wives/husbands and kids! You know, I'm so honored to be able to do this for our troops and their families. What a great feeling!

I do need to send out some special THANK YOU'S!!!

Major Hendricksen, Glenn, Debbie, Barbara, Gloria, Julie, and Paul. Without you guys this show wouldn't have come together like it did!

These two pics...Horsepower or HORSE power? Glenn being the "bag protector"

Well, as always, take care and I'll see you at the races...or the next show!
