    Well, I finally got to live the dream I've wanted so badly for many years now. Friday night I drove Howard Tribbey's twin engine dragster at test n tune. This is the same dragster that's at the HAMB drags every year.

    I've helped him here and there over the years and he's always talked about suiting me up and letting me have a go. Finally, I got my chance.

    I made three passes, best of the three was the last - 10.60 at 124 mph.

    I think I've maybe earned a permanent seat for a while. Check it out...

    That ride was probably almost as thrilling as when you made a speed pass on the Golden Boy running from that dog.

    Oh man, it was a lot of fun! Something I've wanted to do for the past 3 years. Now it's something I want to do every evening. The faster I went, the bigger the grin was on my face. I couldn't hardly get my helmet off!!!

    Neg Matt..I'm not sure a moon can be done in this...but ask Lil Toot about the mooning he received from my T-bucket at 80 mph!

    67 Imp. Nothing will compete with the dog and the golden boy! I've never hugged a gas tank like that before!

    Root. I learned it from watching you. I think I have everything down...except for the autographs. You'll have to teach me your special technique!

    Dirty. Love the pic! I've never seen little people laugh so hard in my life!

    Denise. I'll send you the good pics of me and my fire suit! Or maybe just a helmet! Woooo Hoooo!!!

    Thanks to all the support from everyone!!!!

    I'll leave you with a quote from the Words of Advice commercial from John Force:

    Don't Turn!!!

    later,

    monkey
