I got the call last weekend that my crew was going and bringing their hydro. I'm in for the weekend! Don't know if I'm staying at the track or hotel somewhere but I'm going 👍👍
My Buddy and I will be leaving LLR early Saturday morning same as we do every year!

Flying out Sat Morning. Can't Wait!

If anyone needs a bite to eat after the race. My cousin opened K38 Mex Cantina about 10 minutes from the track. Great food and drinks and the flight of different types of Margaritas is damn tasty!

Mention Game Boys Racing for a 10% discount! We'll be there Saturday night!

Yes he does. He's nephew does the driving now. I've been working with that family for 20 years now, holy cow!
Gary has to be one of the one if not the person to campaign a drag boat the longest ever. We became friends when we were both new to it and both sponsored and friends with Jim McColmb from Rewarder. Gary is great people, good luck this weekend.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make out this time due to a super busy work schedule and a blown up engine in the flatty.

I was doing some quick math last night and he's probably had that boat close to 40 years! I started helping out in '02. Gary's entire family has become my 2nd family, agreed, great people! I'm really excited to "go racing" with them again, especially after missing the Parker race a couple weekends ago

My dad was good friends with Jim as well. Born and raised in the SFV there are several names that I have grown up with.

We hit the place last year, was just opening, staff was great, food was good and some of that Games family bought us beers. Can’t complain about that😜

Please tell Gary hello for me.
We had a year long battle in the 8.00 class in I think 1998. We traded points all season and faced off in the semifinals at the Nationals for the Championship. I was lucky enough to outrun him that day. Heck of a competitor. Cool that he’s still out there havin fun.
Haven’t seen him in over 20 years.
Please give him and his family my best.

I’ve got a hotel for my Buddy and me, always get a rollaway in the room, if nothing else pans out, or you can be the pivot guy😜
