Season prep

Man, we will be racing shortly. Time surely flies when your having fun. We have been really busy getting everything prepped for the 08 season. We have some new product sponsors coming on board and were still looking for more. We had the car at Horton race cars having some new "stuff" installed. We have been looking high and low for our "tire smoker" problem and we actually found several. Richard Hartman has actually found them, he has worked his tail off helping us. I am pumped to get this year started. Like I said, we made numerous changes to the car, so we will do something we have never done--TEST! We plan on being at rockingham in feb. to do several launches to see how everything is going, then head to San Antonio in April. We're having a new aluminum air to air cooler being made by Griffin thermal products here in Piedmont SC for our Freightliner. I'm ready to put it on and see what the results will be. I know Griffin makes high quality and durable componets, so this will be no exception. I cant say enough about the help richard and my crew has given us. We will be painting the front of the Firebird tommorrow and touching up a few spots as well. We have a big weekend planned- working on the car, truck, trailer, parts, bodies, and insulating the inside of our race shop. I want to thank the efforts of Danny and Lanita Driggers and Robert Griffith of R&R Construction. What a huge help they have been. Me and my dad went over to see connie after his Knee surgery. He is doing well but still keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery. Until next time.....
