Ed can't being he's working and aren't we all going to CT for the party?

I'll play if you want on my street tires when the temps warm up a little. You can bet after my first pass I'll have to watch from the pits as I'll be thrown off.

Ed, I'm glad you finally got to drag race. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. The downside is that you'll probably be practicing your 60fts on some busy street in Queens or in the Kia lot . . .

Don, what was your MPH????

BTW, are you headed to Texas, or not?

The reason I'm not posting or have been around too much lately is that I've been looking for a better job.

I actually have an interview today and another one tomorrow for NY firms.

But I am strongly considering Houston since it is a port city and, as you know, I do a lot of marine and transportation work. There are some big Texas firms that represent oil companies in various maritime concerns ranging from platform injuries to charter party disputes.

Plus I could sell my studio in NYC and buy a nice house in Tx.

Yeee-Haw . . .

Rich, good luck in where ever you land. If they pay NY money in Texas, this should be a no brainer
