Hang in there.... my prayers are with you and your family.

I lost my dad in August and my mom is really having a hard time adjusting after 47 years of togetherness... It does get easier but it's never the same again.

God Bless.

I enjoy the tours. It started when my wife and I got our first Model A a couple of years ago. It was great having about 10 or 15 in a row out running around the country roads. So the same for our vette along with a bunch of others. You know that there are guys coming the other direction just wishing they were with us. Second i enjoy a ride by my self out in the country with the top down and the music up...stress relief.

Buried My Mother yesterday afternoon in the rain. Spent most of the night at Dads along with my brother and sister, worst experience of my three years.

So sorry for your loss Garrell, she is in a much better place, and her suffering is over. My deepest condolences to you and yours in this dark time. Ken

Lost my mom 4 years ago, talked to her everyday. I miss the calls and wish I could have one more time to speak to her, take care of your dad.

Until three months ago when the alzimers got worse I called Mother early every morning and late in the afternoon, now I call Dad that often. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers and please continue to do so.

I used to hit the drags for grudge night...but haven't in a long time. Now I'm getting antsy to take a few runs as LSRA at the new location in OH (now that Maxton Mile is closed).

Sorry for not responding sooner, the last week has been a nightmare, I don't how to help Dad cope, there is only one that can please continue to pray for him. All of the prayers and sentiments are so much appreciated.
Htwhls, I was so fortunate to have run and set a landspeed record at the last ever Maxton Mile.

HTWHLS, I was fortunate to run at the last ever Maxton Mile and set a landspeed record that will now last forever. With my miracolous survival and ongoing recovery you can't imagine how much it means to me.

Please continue to keep my Dad in your thoughts and prayers, I am afraid he is going to grieve himself to death.
