random thoughts and other stuff

I cannot tell you how depressed I am during the winter, I find it hard to get excited about anything. I hate cold weather, my ankle has been killing me when its cold. I miss my friends, people that dont love racing do not understand the draw of going to the track, but since I moved to SC 5years and 3 months ago drag racing has been the thing that Brad and I do on weekends. So when you go 3 months without it....It sucks.

Lots of changes this year and Im interested to see how its all gonna shake out. Jason Scruggs went3.64 @210 testing. Now I am friends with many teams in ADRL, but let me say that the Scruggs crew are absolutely my favorite guys to hang out with. These guys are humble, and even though they have been the guys to beat, they dont act it, and you just gotta admire that. They are just a really good group of guys. and I am tickled to see Jason able to still set the world on fire.

In the NHRA series the field has been set, and its a tough field of some good racers, but NHRA set a system of grade points and then did not stick to it. Guys that had no points were allowed to register before their time. While guys who wanted to get in and had points didnt get to register. I am really disappointed in the way this happened, Im not begrudging anyone their spot, but I think NHRA didnt exactly play fair.

As far as me well I am still following Brad, because going to the track with him is more fun for me than going to the track without him. I have this sign in my kitchen that sums up our relationship. it says "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all." I Love my Bradley, and I owe this passion for drag racing all to him. Life is good......

In a few days I will celebrate 15 years of Sobriety. Yes I am a recovering alcoholic, yes I take it seriously, I am not the person I was 15 years ago. Thank God for that!!!
