Tweet

tonight after the races<ive been running the tow truck the last few weeks> i was invited to dinner with some well known legends of drag racing. bucky austin, steve plueger, eddy harris <very good artist>, frank aldana ofRCD <race car dynamics>, the o'briens mike and jenette, they own benchmark rv' centers very nice people., cindy gibbs, and the entire crew from buckys car and the plueger & gyger car. can you say COOL!!!!??!?!? been hanging around showing my face for a few years<from working tech and working the track in 06-08> starting to get noticed alot more. the whole weekend was just a total mindblowing deal. i mean meeting your heroes then going to dinner with them and B/S'ing the entire night!? hung out with them until midnight last night. i am so grateful that this happened. the whole time at dinner i was basically wide eyed and open jawed but trying to act as if it was all natural.

i still can belive it happened its almost surreal. an entire weekedn fri-sat-sun hanging out with these guys, yesterday and today when they ran all the pro cars i was standing in between the burnout box seeing 2 fuel funny cars go past you candles lit smoking them and then launching standing 4 feet away fromt hem its the most awesome thing ive ever gotten to do in my life. i mean for years ive went to national events but you only get to get so close. and this weekend i was rght on top of them!

bucky is a real class act very professional and very cool. he has been racing alog tme and winning alog time to.

the guy who drives the plueger & gyger car is a class act. one of the most down to earth awesome guys you will ever meet. his name is garret bateman very cool guy.

these cars run 98% nitro, single mag, 6-71 blower.
