HGW 03-03-2005 01:48 AM

Thanks Paragon--I have been so crazed preping parts for the second pace car, answering press releases, meeting sponsors, obtaining my own sponsors, preping for a new TV spot, etc. that I forgot to tune in. I need a staff of three or or four (in time I will have them--only want the best so it takes time to hire right)

As the season goes on, we expect to see more of the Yellow H2 and then the Black H2 (I finally found an 04 which is being delivered to my door on Monday). The Volusia race the intro for the Pace Car. It will be wrapped by DMS with graphics soon and back on the race circuit soon.


We are working on getting the Yellow H2 to Vegas next week if possible. NASCAR is running the same weekend. I will know in a few days if it will be there. In a few weeks, both H2s will be split between two WoO series and brought to every WoO race in the US until the season ends in NOV.

Rick--I owe you a call and will do so soon.

They showed it more, showed it leading one or two heats and showed it leading the feature with a dodge pickup behind it. Also on one heat the announcer said something to the effect of HGW being the pace truck and to check it out at hummersgonewild.com. Showed it several times.

I think they said that was the first time Steve Kinser had won at that track. I haven't watched WoO too consistanty in the past but I think he is the Richard Petty of WoO with something like 500 wins. I remember seeing him winning all of the time back in the day.

I looked it up and enabled it. It is 606 on DTV. I get it all done and I'm not subscribed to it. Seems like every other month they call say for just this much get this more and I still do not have the crap i want to watch. I'm about ready to try Dish Network. I have friends on it that switched and said they like it better. OH well K SA RA SA RA.
Thanks

I only have DTV down there because it is also my internet (Direcway) connection. I couldn't do the dial up since I spend 25% of my time there.

I understand that on the dialup. That is all I can get in the boonies. How do You like the Directway? I have been thinking about but I heard it is high priced. I'm lucky to get 33kbps and most of the time 24. Like watching ice melt.

John no problem. I understand the pressure Your under. Things on this end will be more primed in 30 days. Give me a ring or I may just try You if You can pick up fine if not let Me leave a message.
Seriouly if You have trouble having drivers all You have to do is familiarize Me on one of Your trips or I should say train Me and I'll go and drive just to help if You are short handed. You won't owe Me anything unless You would want to pay to fly Me there. My situation is I can go any time You want anywhere You want. In training on Your next trip in when You want Me to come I will pay My way to get to You and room etc., You would most likely would not need extra hands so it would be like going to a driver class and I'm paying My dues. You train then You can airfare if You want if not it is not a problem I'll get there. I keep everything pretty much where I can take off at short notice. I do that alot. It would be one of the best things that has happend to Me in many years as far as doing something different and special.

The sign of a great leader is one that can surround himself with people who can get a job done and delegate the responibility.
Thanks
Rick

Paragon:

The race you saw with the Dodge behind the Hummer was the final. DMS does not control that track so the track owner had to put his pace car behind ours. That silver Dodge was embarrasing next to the H2.

Most other races will not have the second pace car because the track does not need a kick back from the local dealer.

Steve Kinser is the king of the Sprints as you mentioned.

The Yellow H2 will be in Vegas next week barring any winter snags here in NJ that would prevent it from being towed there. I am going out to take it around the track. Since all of NASCAR is at the track right next to the Sprint track, it should be a lot of fun.

My Black H2 build is starting Monday. I am looking at a 10" + lift kit with 40's for a total lift of 13", along with a ton of power upgrades. The lift height may change based on geting it proportioned right. I do not want it to look too crazy, just mean. I will post pics when it is complete.

Will be in Vegas this Thursday & Friday Nights at the WoO Sprint Races--if you get into the pits, please come by to see me--my mechanic, sponsors, etc will be there too.

John
I know how covered up You are. As soon as You are able would You get Me a list of races and dates You will be at in future. If I had asked You sooner I would have flown to Vegas. Please get Me an itinerary so i can plan trips to Your races. I have to mesh them together with tourney softball, taking My H2 to shows, etc. (have one in March locally and 1 in April in OK) I Love staying busy and on the go. I Love to fly. That is one of the next things I plan to do is finish My pilots license and then I can fly to races in short notice.

I will be in NY May 28th and leave on June 1, for daughters performance. I got the itinerary this week. The travel agent did a great job for kids and few parents that are going.
We will be at NY Towers Hilton 4 nights, See Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, a post concert cruise for diner and dancing with sight seeing of Manhattan skyline/Statue of Liberty, 3 Broadway shows (kids get to decide that) Macy's discount coupon (should have heard a little girl screaming when We read that part) and free time to see other things while kids rehearse. Cost of all tickets are included in price to agent, including Kids performance. If anyone has recomendations of things I may squeeze in I would appreciate. (come on guys seriuos stuff, I already know what soe of You are thinking) John will I be to far for You to pick Me up for a day visit at Your shop or better to rent a car? I would just as soon spend My free time at Your shop working on something for You except, that i will spend 1 day wondering around with My daughter and Her not yet official fiance. He is sharing room with Me. Both are great Christian kids and even if i were not going I would not worry.
I know it could be to early yet for a year long itinerary but as much as You have planned would give Me good start.
Thanks John and have a safe trip. I know You will do Us proud!
Rick
