WE'RE IN ENGLISHTOWN

Hey Everybody!

We're in Etown all set up to start racing tomorrow & most of the crew has arrived. Although it is currently raining, the weather is supposed to be good for most of the weekend.

Charlie & I had a great trip down to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. It was Charlie's first time at Walter Reed and he was very humbled by the whole experience. We spent most of the day there, had the troops sign the back deck of the racecar, & we also passed out "Free To Dream" t-shirts. It's the most amazing experience & so awesome to be able to have the opportunity to give back just a little bit. We're looking forward to the possibly of doing something later in the year with Walter Reed-stay tuned.

Back to racing-in 2003, this race was the very first race that we campaigned the Funny Car & Todd was the driver. Last year this race did not treat us well, but we're very excited to get under way & we're all optimistic that we'll have a great weekend of racing.

Todd & his long time girlfriend Jacque are planning a trip into NYC tomorrow evening to get married in Central Park. We all wish them the best.

I hope all of you have a great weekend. You can tune into www.nhra.com to listen live or www.dragracecentral.com to stay updated throughout the weekend. I'll get back in touch on Monday to fill you all in.
