Some folks out there have sent me some PMs and an email or two, and what I have deduced is that there is an entire army (three people give or take) that would like to see me write some more race reports. But the creative juices are tricky..and secretly I've been waiting for some kind of Sign.
Then I watched qualifying at Pomona. One round of qualifying during a monsoon with clocks that NHRA admits were "Working, Kinda." Alan Johnson actually shows up with a team sponsored by a shiek. It wasn't a publicity stunt. It wasn't a ploy to shake Don Shue out of a 3 million dollar a year salary. He actually DID it. Larry Dixon leaves Snake to drive it. How the hell am I going to NOT write race reports with this kind of material??? Its like facing the pitching staff of the Yankees, but they have to throw it underhanded while wearing a blindfold and I get to use a tree trunk for a bat.
So Ill write one starting at Phoenix and see if I still got it.
