The subject lines sums it all up!! Left this morning at 7:15 and drove
into Dallas to Smiley's racing to attend a swap meet for race car parts.
Much of what I saw there was dirt track related but many parts have good
applications for the Drag Sprite. I had intended to hook up with Richard
Wright from the Spridget list, but since I hadn't talked with him about
where we should meet up and what we were wearing, it just wasn't looking
to promising. While inside Smiley's, I called my wife on the cell phone
to see if she was home and to check if Richard had sent an email with a
phone # or something. She wasn't home, and when I asked her to check my
email for a phone # for a Richard Wright when she did get home, some guy
standing 3 feet from me looks at me and says "Brad?". It turns out he
was standing right there in front of me. All you I-Race members, I have
photos of some of you that attended and will be posting them on an ofoto
site and I will let you know when it is ready. I will need you to remind
me who is who and I will post names with faces. Next time, we know who,
or in my case, what, to look for!! Anyway, the I-Race guys are a blast
to visit with, they like fast cars and guns, Robert Houston, where were
you!! Rich has a beautiful Daimler Jaguar with the only ford motor that
I endorse, the 289, under the bonnet. It cruised down the Hwy with no
problems at all!! Richard invited us over to his home. He introduced us
to his lovely wife, and that lucky bastard has 4 wheel chocks just
laying all around the house!!!!  The real joy of the visit was the ride
in his Healey 3000. I like having a stock Sprite, but after a ride in
his 302 CHEVY powered Healey, I have got to say, "STOCK SUCKS"!!!! And I
don't mean sucks in a good way!!!
That ride was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words cannot describe!!!!!!!!!!!
If we had died in a horrible speed related car wreck, everyone attending
my funeral (all three of them) would have sworn I died having sex, there
was no way they could have gotten the smile off of my face. My ears
hurt, I was grinning so big!! I am tempted to attend the Texas Triathlon
that Rich participates in, just to listen to that bad boy screaming out
the flowmasters again................ Rich, I heard you and Mike pulled
out in front of a soccer mom in her mini van and left her in a cloud of
burning rubber!! Good show!!
Elizabeth, here is a car that would steal your favour from Buttercup.
Anyway, I am back home, still grinning, and just wanted to share a fun
afternoon meeting more list members and enjoying some LBC's. Rick, I
hope your motor didn't go to "British" on you there at the
end..................
Brad
