I don't miss going to the races, but I sure do miss some of the people. I was just thinking the other night, as I was looking through old photo albums and scrapbooks, that I had a helluva life in drag racing. I have known nearly every racer who was instrumental in this sport from the 60s on. Wow! And every person I have ever come into contact with in my life has had some kind of lasting impression on my life, be it good or bad! Now, each one who reads this can wonder which effect YOU had on me!! HA! I've been trying to write a couple of things and have been getting to talk to some folks I haven't talked to in a while and I'm enjoying that. I'll let you know when I get all that finished.
I am also getting ready to sell every single piece of drag racing 'junque' I have collected over the years! I need to get the rest of these doctor bills paid off, pay my car insurance, home owners' insurance, taxes, etc. Y'all know all that routine. I would like to get my antique store finished and get it opened, too. I can't get on with the next chapter in my life until I get rid of some of the stuff that's in my way. I would like to get the website finished so I can start getting stuff on it, but I can't even get Rufus to send me disks back or call me or email me. So I'm up in the air about that.
I am still having to use either a cane or crutches, depending on whether it's a good day or a bad day. I think I'm doing awfully good to get as much done as I do. Sorting and filing, emptying boxes and refilling boxes. You're all invited to come by, mapquest will help you out in that respect. Also, my phone number is 704-732-1160 and I will try to get on here more often. Maybe Rufus will read this and finish my website or send my stuff back, one or the other! Happy New Year to EVERYONE, I hope you all have a WONDERFUL, winning, healthy, happy, successful, peaceful and wealthy NEW YEAR! Hope to hear from everyone soon!

Hello Becky,

Hi Becky
We've corresponded for quite a while now and I've certainly appreciated reading much of your commentary. From what you've told me over the years I pretty much know you're background and some of the more recent things that have affected your life. I think for anyone reading your Blog for the first time (who doesn’t know you) is probably missing out on not only your previous and long time involvement with drag racing, but also the things that brought you to where you are today. In order for someone to gain that appreciation my suggestion would be to write up some sort of personal introduction.
Just a thought, and as always best of luck to you!
