Hey Race Fans,
Sorry again, we let the blog slide! Wanted to catch you all up on the latest Follow A Dream news. We went to the Syracuse Nationals last week, although we were behind a bit due to mechanical problems with the Freightliner. Had to make a pit stop at Utica General Truck in Utica, NY where they had to replace the injectors. They were terrific-got us back on the road in record time! Had a great time thanks to John Weston & Bob O'Connor of the Right Coast Assoc. for all their hospitality. We had the Follow A Dream/Permatex Dodge Avenger on display. Andy the Aardvark & some staff from Texas Roadhouse came out to the event to promote TXRH and to hand out appetizer coupons. Everyone really enjoyed that.
Returned to the shop, getting some organizing and maintenance done on the truck & trailer. Arthur is making good progress on the racecar body. We're waiting for the new nose to be done at Roush and then delivered to Arthur to complete the work.
Mitch Sullivan will be at the shop this weekend putting new shocks on the Freightliner and do some light work on the truck as well.
Will touch base next week. Have a wonderful weekend friend!

WE'RE STILL HERE!
Hello Fans,
Sorry about the lapse in communication it has been a busy couple of weeks all around. We're still working on getting the racecar back in shape for Maple Grove in August. The chassis is all set and the brakes are back from Strange (manufacturer)and all checked out. Eddie & I are going to go down to NJ to pick up the chassis early next week and drop off the body at Arthur Gallants to get that repair done. Tom Howell is going to be helping with that as well. I've pulled the old racecar out of the trailer and have been cleaning up the chassis & body to be used for the Syracuse Nationals Car Show @ the NY State Fairgrounds next weekend, July 17-19. Getting both cars ready has kept us very busy.
Took it easy over the holiday, spent time with the family & enjoying the pool. My daughter Marybeth's puppy Camo had an accident last week, got kicked in the head by a horse and has been very sick. Doctor says she'll be fine in time, which is great news for all involved. Poor MB-she's had a week!
Jared from Red's Reconditioning has been helping too, putting a good shine on all of the equipment for our upcoming trips. Red does fabulous work, there's nobody like him. He really is the best-give him a call if you're local to the Cape and need your vehicle detailed. 508-815-7305.
Will give you all a shout when Ed & I get back from NJ and before we take off for Syracuse. Have a great day!
