Bill, Check your e-mail for information regarding the Spring Fling as well as my schedule on Saturday, 2-2-08, Groundhog Day... Look carefully for your shadow when you pop out of your bedroom in the morning! Mike

Ron, I can understand the "when I was up North..." syndrome. When I got here I kept my ears and eyes open and shut my mouth to learn the ways of my new home. Occasionally, now, I add a bit of flavor to a conversation but never use the Yankee retort. Hell, I'm having too much fun here to screw it...

Wilby, I'll be at the Ford Owners Assn. of the Carolinas "Spring Fling" Car show at your (Roush-Fenway) place on April 28th with my Griffith, lots of "Griff" stuff to sell and I'll be signing and selling my book "The Griffith Years". On June 6-7-8 I'm currently assembling the mob that will...

Ron, Re: "Hmmm. CARY - Containment Area for Relocated Yankees?" Just calling it (the city) what it has become, not reflecting on it's inhabitants of yore. This DY moved here 14 years ago and ain't looking back. Mike

I'm glad that we have some aviators in the group. I have a tale...not much of a powerful aircraft but still a personal experience wherein I converted a Cessna 172 SkyHawk into a very wet SeaHawk. Following an uneventful trip from Long Island, New York to Bader Field at Atlantic City, New Jersey...

Dave, Are you a "bullring" driver? Mike

Hey Bill, Sounds like a good time waiting to be had. Let's hook up some time on your off-time schedule (mine is very flexible - 'ceptin' when it's severe clear and I'm flying). cell phone is 828-291-5100 - but if I'm in my office there ain't any tower-power for this damn yankee's cell phone...

Gordo, Sounds like you are having too much fun... but then, there's no such thing as having too much fun, is there. Good to have friends like Travis. If you're setting up shop in Mooresville then you are probably inside the closely-guarded confines of Race City's industrial park off Rt. 150 (or...

Hey Gordo! Where in Mooresville is the shop? I'll drop in sometime and we'll do some bench racing.

Tom, My goodness! Never know where I'll show up, and it that case, you too! I hear that there are some changes being made in the ol' club. Hmmmm!

Dave, Nothing against NASCAR... I've made my $ and had my fun in the sport and Cup Stuff. I worked for DW for awhile and my son handled the 50th anniv. PR program for the France family as well as running the first three years of the Nextel Cup Series for Nextel and then Sprint. Just google his...

Jac, Sometimes ya just have to work within the guidelines to get a place on the starting line. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't a car, a motorcycle or an aircraft that is "Too Fast" for us to have fun in. Hope to catch up with you some time. Mike

JacMac: Looks like ya got one mean Tivver there, mate. I understand that down under you design the car, insert the oversized engine and then wonder where you will place the driver. Sounds normal. Mike

Say Hi to Jack for me. How is he doing lately? I sent him a Griffith polo shirt and hat last month. He still would like to go very fast.... Mike

Jeff, Re: --- Where in NC are you? I'm about 12 miles from Hickory just off I-40 Exit 138. --- Ron Earp who runs this site is in Cary Hmmm. CARY - Containment Area for Relocated Yankees? --- I'm in Raleigh. Ron flies planes and drives race cars, and crew chiefs my car, which I break...
