Hello Friends

Hello Everyone on the web-

I'm back at the shop and things are busy, lots of office work. Got engines apart and getting cranks checked. Did a radio interview today with Jason Rufo at Audio Journal for his show called Out of Sight, a radio talk show which airs twice monthly focusing on information of interest to the sight impaired community. Will let you all know when I get an airtime.

Stay tuned for another possible announcement toward the end of this week-we'll see!

Talk soon,

Jay

San Francisco Trip

Hello Friends,

Hanging out at the airport in San Francisco waiting to fly home. Spent the weekend with Wynn's at the NADA convention. All went well and enjoyed an evening out on Saturday with the folks from Wynn's. Had dinner at Sinbad's on Fisherman's Wharf. Lots of fun and good conversation.

Spent last night in the room, packing and watching eliminations from Pomona. Can't wait to get back to racing. Will be working at the shop putting all the pieces together to get the season under way when I return tomorrow.

Temperatures were in the 60's all weekend here. My body should be in for a real shock when we land in Boston tonight, more like the frozen tundra from what I hear. Spring can't get here soon enough!

Type at you later,

Jay

Off to San Francisco

Hey Everybody!

I'm getting ready to head out to San Francisco tomorrow for the NADA Convention with Wynn's and Big Daddy. Show runs Feb. 9-12 @ the Moscone Convention Center. There has been some chatter about the latest press release regarding the driver change at Follow A Dream for 2008. Don't think for a minute that Dave Ray and I are at odds with each other or anything even close to that. Dave, Irene, Angie, & Chris are some of the nicest people I've ever met and I've been honored to work with them. The Ray family has helped Follow A Dream become what it is today and I truly count them all among my friends.

Marty and I have aspirations to step up to Nitro. Not today, not tomorrow, but that's the goal we're working towards. All in good time!

Things are really crazy, all kinds of stuff going on, more news about Follow A Dream coming soon so, please stay tuned and keep checking in.

I'm jealous of all the folks out in Pomona but wish them all the best of luck as the 2008 season gets under way.

Stay Tuned,

Jay

We'rre Still Here-Long Time, No Blog

Hello everybody in blog land, sorry I haven't written. It's been a whirlwind! Last time I blogged we were going to Boston. That day ended abruptly when a van drove into our vehicle. The car was towed home to the Cape and is now at Ryll's Auto Body getting fixed. The important part of all this is that no one was hurt in the accident.

I heard the news this weekend about the Herbert family. My heart goes out to Doug and his family and my prayers are with all of them at this difficult time.

Working on cleaning up the shop, suprise.....it was worse than I thought. Have a local school group coming in on Wednesday for a presentation. Was at Suffolk University in Hyannis, MA last week meeting with a Marketing class.

Woke up today to ten inches of snow, had to shovel our way out-boy I hate snow. My stepson Brandon called after I got to work to let me know the plow guy had shown up-perfect timing for him I guess!

I promise to make the time to find the keyboard before too long-look for our next post on Wednesday.

Have a great day!

Just Another Day

Hey everybody!

Just thought I'd say hi and let you know we're still cleaning and pounding the phones. I won't be in the office tomorrow as I'm taking the day off with my wife Ann. I put my knee through the glass top on her stove over Christmas, now she gets a stove for Christmas. Will go up to Jarvis Appliance in Wellesley, MA to see my friend Tony Jarvis and pick one up that doesn't have a glass top. Hope everyone is well and will touch base again on Monday.

Busy...Busy

Hi folks-

Sorry I haven't been keeping up. Busy with the holidays and travel. Just finishing up lunch and trying to clean the shop. Trying to put everything where it belongs so that we can work. Had the TAFC up at the World of Wheels in Boston last weekend with HTC Coatings, which worked out really well. Check out their website, www.htcracing.com when you get a chance. They're great people and lots of fun to work with.

I'm going to try and get better at keeping up with the blog. Would be great if people would write in to let us know what they're interested in hearing/reading about. I'll be back in touch soon to let you all know how the clean up is going. Gotta run!

Have a great day,

Jay

Hey Everybody!

Made it back from the PRI show late yesterday afternoon. It was a great show. Saw Terry Manton-he looked great-getting better. That was the highlight of the show for me! It was great to see everybody-wow, what a show!

Racecar is back in the shop and we're sending everything out to be certified. Also, working on the truck. Trying to narrow down the "to do" list and catch up a bit.

Heard from Tommy Howell again today. He's getting busy in Afghanistan, flying nearly everyday now.

Well, back to work. Be back soon.

We've stepped into the world of blogging!

Welcome! Wednesday, December 5. We're at the PRI Show setting up in the Permatex booth # 5919 where the racecaer will be on display. Show begins tomorrow and runs through Saturday. Had an uneventful trip down south from frosty New England, got out of town before the bad weather set in on Sunday.

Heard from tuner Tom Howell today. He is finally settled in Afghanistan after a very long trip and will begin working in the next day or two. He says "hi" to all and will keep in touch.

Gotta run....keep checking in....we'll be back.

Best,

Jay
