Bits and Pieces from Racing....
Some silly things have happened at the NHRA events....from 1994 to present!
Like a fire extinguisher going off in the back seat of a Team's van.
Falling alseep in a Team's Tractor while they finish after a 2am run in Topeka. Then they shut off the generator and waited to see if I'd climb out...SHHH, see if she'll notice!
Getting to Reno..and a team decides they want to go Lake Tahoe right then...of course I went!
Having truck trouble in Oregon State and a Team Member waits for my truck to get repaired...making us arrive in Somona CA at 4am the next day...Dougie didn't want me to travel by myself (have done it for years).
Going on bike rides in Arizona for 4 days....this became a yearly thing! Great!
The rain in Memphis where the water was up to my knees..just happened to have my rubber boots! Got laughed at but whose feet were dry?
Stopping at a rest area and a race team had tons and tons of "Ben and Jerry's"...Yum!
In Indianapolis, St. Elmo where the Shrimp Cocktail takes your breathe away! And burns the hair right out of your nose! LOL
Going to Pikes Market in Seattle and spending $5000 on fresh seafood for a race team..(not my $$$, theirs! How fun!) Buying Flowers, Flowers and Flowers to go along with it!
Working with Monaco Las Vegas..in Seattle another time...having a Seafood Feast...(I may say so myself, I did an incredible job on it).
Having a Wine Tasting for D.R.A.W. in Somona, CA and the only decorations I had to work with were grapevines, fake grapes and....plastic burgundy tablecloth..Made some beautiful roses! The wine tasting was a success!
Making a Coffee Table with headers and having it sell for D.R.A.W. for $900!
Sitting around after shutting down the midway display... with the Guys...cocktails and cigars!
Taking Gary to starting line and watching his face the first time when the cars took off! Priceless!
The first time my daughter went to Memphis with me and stood on the top of the Suite Tower....with her saying
"If I was a guy, I'd be having a hard-on".LOL
Kodi, my granddaughter, melting the hearts of the Army Race Team...especially "Big Joe"..
Running with Big David, Jeff, Dougie after an event with me being the lead...
Getting the Headers that were left after Denver from Gary Scelzi's car..
The Margarita Machine in Worsham's Pit....ran on nitro! Made 5 gallons at a time!
The Parties in Jim Head's pit at the Pomona Finals...with the disco light!
The time at the Sheraton Fairplex when Youngblood drew on a bar table and table just seemed to disappeared! Hmmm?
When Kenny Bernstein...REALLY knew my name!
The Junior Dragster in our display in Seattle with Monaco Las Vegas as his sponsor.
Helping the same Junior Dragster get a sponsorship for 2011...
Going into Mexico with a rent truck and bringing back goodies..Scary, it was after 911!
The restaurants in Spokane.....going with Denham's team!
Shopping in Chicago, Indianapolis, San Francisco, LA, Orlando.....Priceless!
Going to dinner with friends for cocktails and dinner where the tab was over $900...Whew, glad I didn't have to pay it!
The NHRA Awards Ceremonies! Have been going.since 1999! Even crashing a few!
Meeting "KISS" in Vegas!
Being in the same hospitality as "ZZ Top"!
Getting Gary Scelzi shit-faced on "Shine" in Bristol...and Whit!
Having a "Garden Party" in Schumacher's pits with real street lights, fish pond, flowers, FUN! FUN!
Having the opportunity to run Schumacher's Hospitality
All in all...The long lasting friendship in the racing community is what counts! Drag Racing is like no other...Sorry not into NASCAR!
Thanks, Karen, Bob, Big Chuck, Little Chuck, Randy, Steve, Big Jim, Jeff, Stacker, and all the others! Whoo Hoo!
And I've got the whole family hooked on the sport now...LOVE IT!
Next time...maybe some juicy stuff!

Mind Cleansing...One Day at a Time!
Private time alone....everyone needs to clear their thoughts! In their car, reading a book, just "quiet" with no TV on, dead silence! Nice sometimes, isn't it?
Clearing your thoughts with a mini-getaway from yourself and the world ....you really appreciate it...then, you can get back to reality!
Just know that those getaways are for your mind and your inter self., keeping your sanity and everyone elses'!..Love it!
Today, you need to make a promise to "YOU"......."I promise to give myself my undivided attention to what my mind, body and soul needs today! I promise to shut the outside world out of my thoughts for 10 minutes!" Go ahead, try it! You may even like yourself better...and everyone else will see the change.
The saying "Life is too short"....so true....Make this your world! Live it!
Betty
P.S. Get rid of anyone in your life that causes you to be negative...surround yourself with the positive and you WILL be positive..You are NOT worth the negative!
