don't know if this is appropriate,,
but I already told you that my friend and client had cancer and was terminal... well I went to see him today as they let him come home,, he wanted to pass on, in his bed looking out the window at the mtns... he may be with us thru Mon. but he cancelled all treatments as he said he had no life in the Morbid Hospital....
if any of you went to Topeka, Brainerd, LV, or a few others he was know as the Big Kahuna,, he had the 55' on our site that he ran in S/G,, and he had his S/C dragster.
He never won an event,, the best he ever did was a simi in S/C,, he never got angry and always said WOW I went x amount of rounds, or I went this fast....
I took a couple of his rides to finals in the local fast 16 over the years and he was always standing next too me screaming "this is my car and this is my driver, we are kicking ass"...
he always had fun no matter what,, which I guess is what it is all about cause for me if I ain't winning I ain't having fun, he always paid everebody he invited's way, food and after race entertainment, and pretty much anythig in between....
anyway thanks for listening to a goofy ramblings of a guy who thinks life ain't fair..
and maybe remember a fellow racer who wasn't in it for the $$ or the fame just wanted to have fun...
