Henkelman's Random Las Vegas Thoughts (1 Viewer)

[Mike Henkelman]

I have been getting some emails regarding the Race Reports, and wanted to say a couple things real quick...There is a new Podcast coming that I will be hosting that will take the place of the Race Reports where you can all tune in and listen to me ramble about how I met John Force once and my life has never been the same. The first episode will be available shortly, and Ill make sure to send you all the info.

But I had some quick thoughts regarding Las Vegas that I wanted to share:

• Alan Reinhart is probably funnier then I am, which kind of pisses me off. In my mind, I always thought I brought the funny. But I introduced Alan to the Hiplink president on Friday and he was funnier then I was. If you guys haven't heard him tell the Civil War Cannon story, you haven't lived.
• I never knew a bald guy could burn that fast. Holy cow, I was out in the sun for fifteen minutes and Im pretty sure I have skin cancer.
• The next time someone tells you that NHRA is this or that, challenge them. At Hiplink, we work with a number of major players including Motorola, Wells Fargo, Kaiser, AT&T, Verizon, Apple, etc where professionalism counts. And if it wasn't for folks like Gary Darcey and John Siragusa at NHRA, we wouldn't have Hiplink in the sport. They made this this possible for us. Point. Blank. So thanks so much for being good to sponsors NHRA Grand Pubah's.
• I saw a picture of me in front of the car this weekend, and I'm getting on the elyptical until Im thinner or have a stroke.
• If I hook up a truck to Whitely's rig, and tow it somewhere like…New Mexico and give it back to him on Monday morning is that technically "stealing" or "borrowing"? I have my attorney's working on some research and development strategy and they're asking me.
• I had a nightmare that I was pulled over doing 100mph in a school zone. Cop comes up to my window, I roll it down, and its Demke. I wake up screaming.
• This is the greatest sport on earth. I've spent three years away from it, and I can't tell you all how wonderful it is to be back in it. Except Whitely. And Demke. And we haven't even had to deal with Shields or Reichart yet. But other then all THOSE guys, its great. (just kidding teams…kind of.)

Namaste NHRA fans, friends, family and peeps. I celebrate the place where Nitro and our collective noses become one.

So we've been working this up in legal, and heres what we've got so far...tell me what you guys think....

You've all heard of "Where's Waldo?" We're talking about opening a "Where's Whitely's Stuff" charity. Proceeds are donated to the guys that stol....err....let me read this..."Coordinated the assets location to fullfill the charities requirement." I think thats lawyer talk for "pay the guys that took the stuff."

We're just kidding here Jim...but frankly if you watched someone run 5.270 at like 900,000 feet of altitude in the desert...you'd be thinking outside the box too. The air was SO bad when he went .27 that I saw birds wearing oxygen masks...there was a seagull in a wheel chair.
