Canyon is still open. Usually pretty busy on Saturday nights. Sand Drags once in a while too.

Well I thnk you and I are the only people who like Auto Racing on this Thread. So I will just write you a PM from now on. Thank you for your information on what is happening today.
 
Now that is a real Drag Race - I wonder if it was held in Long Beach, CA?

Don't be knocking Lions! :)
This girl grew up listening to the roars of Irwindale Dragstrip!
Straight lines are in my blood, although I did learn to appreciate roundy rounds when my nephew started racing. :D

I forgot that you were a racing fan.

My dad was really into cars and racing but I did not get that gene from him. I do like off-road racing though.

Motorcycle enduro racing rocks! 200 bikes heading across the desert! Dad manned checkpoints on Barstow to Vegas run a few times. :D

Bunny here is one for you - http://www.mshf.com/hof/vesco_don.htm

When I was very young and working for the San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (nights) I rode my 500 cc Snorten Norton motorcycle to work and on the week-ends I would strip it down and go to a drag strip very close to our home.

One Saturday afternoon on an overcast day I ws going for the 100 mph record at that drag strip. The weather was just right for the best engine performance with the heavy moisture content. I broke a 100 mph and when I let off the throttle at the end of the run I felt a little speed wobble as I slowed. Nothing serious and as I went back to the bits I new I had broke the 100 mph mark because of what everyone was doing as I past by them.

Then a few minuites later Don Vesco (about 16 years young), his dad and many others, me included got him ready to break my record. He did it on a Triumph two cylinder 650 cc.

At 81 years young my memory's of racing is still very clear.

Where's the next race??????:):):)

Thank you for sharing the link. My dad ran the salt flats a few times back in his youth. And I found a few pins from the Greenhorn Enduro in his things, still have them somewhere. Good memories for me. I needed them this morning. I'm missing cheering my nephew on since my move here.
If you are still out in the desert next time the Lucas Oil Modifieds race in Blythe go cheer him on for me.. Lime Green #26!

I'll try to get over there.... Thanks for the race I asked for. I can only watch now, but darn it is fun. :rose::rose:
 
It is almost always nice to win a main.

Darn - I wish I had been there - Post some of those pics PLEASE.:cool::cool::cool:

I will have to see if I can figure out how to transfer from my cell to here. You can also sometimes link the racing from their website. I10 speedway has a site and also lucas oil modifieds.
 
Hello to all. I am feeling very accomplished today. Made a checklist of things that need to get done and I am checkin those suckers off! Even made time to check in with everyone! Happy Thursday to all!
 
Hi everyone. Not sure that anyone will remember me, but I'm not new to the AZ thread.

Just checking in to see who's still hanging around. :)

Anne! Oh, how you torture me so! So nice to see you back again after so long. It's enough to bring me back.
 
Im new to this and I have never had casual sex. Anyways im 24mPhx and my pics are on my fb http://www.facebook.com/ravenanarchy

I waited 45 years to attempt casual sex.....one all the first times that I attempted that I was on my way to meet her 150 miles away... I stopped in to a bar on the way and met an old man I now refer to as the oracle..

his advice that I probably wouldn't enjoy sex all that much if I if there wasn't a connection made was sage.

so take your time build connections it'll happen or not

Oh PK.... I'm not in the business of torture. Maybe the slightest bit of teasing from time to time... but nothing more I assure you. ;)

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to your last message. My life has been upside-down since I found out that..... I'm pregnant. Again. *sigh* It was a total accident....NOT what we wanted....but... yea.

So anyway... it's so nice to see you! And if I might ask, what about my presence brings you back? :)

Well at least you have that whole pregnant glow thing going, + theres that whole cuddly bundle of joy to look forward to!

Seriously though I get the whole "unplanned, not necessarilly unwanted" thing. The ex "got herself pregnant" for the 5th time after we kinda assummed I had gone sterile again after 7 Years of unprotected sex.

Now that she "moved on" it means a total of 14 years of child support rather than 7 for me but that bonecrushing "i missed you daddy" hug from my little one makes it worth it.
