Default I just got the ride of my life.

As I was sitting in Coreys office Bob Hall comes in and pats me on the back. I said you've got to give me a ride in you car. He said let's go. I can say without a doubt that it is the fastest car of any kind I've ever been in in my entire life. It pulls so hard and my knees would bounce off the dash with every shift. He said it makes 527rwhp and I believe it.

Gotta love Bob. Great guy. He's one of the many people that I head to BG too see every year. And it's well worth the trip.
And that car is just perfection , by CH !

Also Paul Smith showed up with his white monster. We could hear that car coming before we saw it. Will Barrett also showed up with his beautiful girlfriend in the 415 Aerobody. It was a smaller gathering than previous ones but was actually the most fun one I've attended. Glenn and Marrys BBQ is always excellent and Corey is always such a gracious host. I also can't forget to mention meeting "Tuband" George Jones from Georgia. Great guy and looks just like sergeant Gunny from full metal jacket. Im not kidding either. Friday night I didnt leave Glenn and Marrys house until 2:30 in the morning but time flies when your having fun.

Hey, I enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new friends during my "brief" visit in Texas. Sorry I missed out on the "ride of a lifetime" ... I know that had to be terrific. Made it back home about midnight Sat. night ... gotta love those airport layovers. Could have made it home sooner if Bob had loaned me his car.



George ... aka Gunny

Rick sounds like a good time Glenn and Mary are great people they used to live in IL maybe that's why

That was the first thing i said about George when i first met him at BG, too funny.

Paul is one of the great ones.

And of course Corey is just awesome,i will have to make it to one of Corey's BBQ

Will Barrett took me for a ride back in 2009 at BG in his twin turbo. That thing was scarey fast. Loved it! The most powerful car I've ever been in.
