You Don’t Call You Don’t Write
You Don’t Call You Don’t Write That’s what people say when you haven’t called or written in a long time. Well I can’t call most of y’all, but I might if I could . Far as writing goes . . . yeah I haven’t and that was pointed to several times when I announced the return of BiggLaLa. FYI, that post was all about her so if you talked about me there BL gonna git ya. So, even though I don’t really “owe” any explanations you’re gonna get some. There are 3 reasons; the first 2 are kinda dull. 1. A lack of motivation. Being ‘out in the sticks’ so to speak there are few local women on these sites, so the motivation to be here is mostly waiting for an interesting local woman, or more, to pop up here. 2. My computer is approaching the end of its useful life. I had someone do remote ‘CPR’ and it is effectively terminal (pun intended). Now, the third reason – I’ve been on other sites. Yes you read that right I’ve been cheating on A*F*F. I’ve been looking at other sites. Now, honey(s) before you get all upset let me explain. They aren’t naked/girlie/sex sites. But they are related to an addiction I have, just not the sex one. Hummm . . . perhaps I should ‘splain further. If you’ve read my posts may have figured out, that I’m a race driving addict. I had 4 race cars at the beginning of this year and had one on CL, off and on, for the last few years. A few months ago I finally sold that car. Running that car (a Mustang) took a ton of effort beginning with the fact that the closest track it was suited for is a 400+ mile round trip. Leaving the track at 1 AM meant I wouldn’t get home till about 5 AM, after a race where the temps could be over 0 degrees. To really get to tracks that a decent purse I would have had to to Texas or California. “So what” you say. Well, in talking to the guy who bought the Mustang I found that a local-ish dirt track (only 1 hour away) is running a of cars that suits the types of cars I like to build and drive. I could not run the Mustang there. So I went there; checked things , and I got the whiff of race fuel in – it does smell like victory . So, the other sites I’ve been scrounging around on are ones where race cars are sold and technical info is obtained. The tech info will be very important because I have 2 options for having a competitive car; an already built car and make it better (something I’ve done quite well). Or build up a car from a street car which takes a lot of time and . My preference is an already built car – that option tends to be less expensive if they were built decently. But there has been a problem. Just like finding local women finding a comparable race car locally has been a no go. In fact I’m talking to owners in Texas, Iowa and PA. Anyhow, if y’all want to hear more let me know. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. |

You would pass within 10 miles of where I am to get to one of those if you followed the major interstate to get there. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I know of Knoxville Speedway a big deal in the Sprint Car world. But they don't run the types of car I'm looking for. Is that near you? Classy, Sassy, and a little Smart-Assy Sine Metu CN

I wore my Dale Sr attitude on the road race circuit when rookies though bumping was a good idea. It helped that I had reinforced my bumper a bit You could come for a ride with me

Steve McQueen and Paul Newman are my kind o guys. If you go back in my past there are a few posts about racing - search my blog for the word 'racing'. I used to run at a couple tracks in CO; Second Creek Denver (done now) and Pueblo Motorsports Park. You wanna be my fast woman? When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

I used to enjoy going to the races at the fairgrounds in Oklahoma City back in the 80s. Modified, Super Modified were the one I enjoyed most, but they occasionally had Sprint cars there as well. Unfortunately that track has been torn up. I'd love to hear more about your cars and when you get back into racing, tell us about that as well. Or provide pictures or video! I see what more I can post up. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
