cool pix

well since were showing pitchers of race cars the top one is the old car and the bottom is the new one were building it amazing how much they have changed through out the years

Nice Pic's John and realy nice shop.
I blew my engine in my 73 VW Bug that was all tricked out in Mojave. That was back in 1980 and I could have used a friend with a nice shop. Had to get a friend Sandy Gillbert to tow it back home to Las Vegas where he owns SRS custom streetrods and exhaust. He was allways telling me to buy a chevy. Anyway I had to ride the Greyhound bus back to Fort Ord in California. that was one fun trip Beautiful weather though.

Oh Yeah 1980 That Sure Was The Good Ol Days That When Mohave Was A No Mans Land And We Took Care Of Our Own Then They Brought In That Stinking Police Force Bummer So Vara Do You Ever Go To The Dirt Track Races Up In Vegas Our Track Here Is Kind Of A Joke But Rumor Has It The Avi Is Building A State Of The Art Track And Is Suppose To Be Done Soon !!yeah Right !! Just Like There Going To Put In A Drag Strip In Kingman Az I'll Believe It When I See It They Should Of Name The Town Instead Of Bull Head City But Bullshi#$%t city

I used to go to Craigroad raceway in Las Vegas all the time but that was paved not dirt.Me and my little brother used to race dirt bikes and loved being there for the old mint 400 cross desert race's. I now live in Florida, And am thinking of moving back to Vegas.

Oh!! Okay That Explain Why I Couldn't Figure Out The Town Ya Have Posted Boy I Feel Like A Dummy Dah Yuk Yuk He He . If Ya Haven't Been Back Here In A While Ya Probably Won't Recognize It Much Today It's Grown Quite A Bit Shoot I Don't Even Recognize Mohave Valley Any More And I Live Here And It Still Growing They Projected Over 300.000 People Here In The Next 5 Years I Think It Time To Move Further Out

300,000 people in the last 5 years? Damn, I wonder what it's like out there now. Don't come east of the US, where I live it's crouded big time now. Everyone from New York and all those northern states (mostly NY) come here for business, etc and it's way over crouded. They talk about all the time how it's too over crouded now and trying to pass laws or something about no more neighborhoods being built. 5 years ago where we live it was alright and not crouded at all but now the main street about 2 miles from us is so backed up in the mourning, I can't even get out of our neighborhood or nothing and even all the back roads are backed up too. Last summer was like that but would take back roads to miss it all and not many people took them and now all backroads are filled and homes being built all over. Crazy here too, I would rather live there in Mohave Valley, at least there's not trees there.

What We Have Trees And I Said The Next 5 Years But I Don't Think That Is Right Because When These People Spend There First Summer Here And It Get To 132 Degrees They Will Be Out Of Here I've Seen It To Many Times Me I Like It Hot The Hottest I've Seen It Was 136 Degrees That Why The Call It The Arm Pit Of Hell He He He

John ; I hear that all the time from people down here, about how hot it is out there and I just laugh. And they would tell me that I don't under stand how hot it really is. Again I would laugh, I used to run from Henerson to my gym Chet Yortons in Las Vegas , 25 miles away and back every day in 120 + degress. And I loved it and would still do it if my knees did'nt give out on me. I love the weather out there. Down here in Florida every breath of air you take you get a hot glass of water with it. You need gills to breath down here. After dark you have to tie a rope to your kids or the mosquitos will fly away with them. That's not to mention if some one has aids and the mosquitos bite them and then decide that you look more juciy and fly over and bite you. Now they say you can't catch it like that but I say take the S.O.B. that said that and
put Him in a room with 10,000 Mosquitos and a person with full blown aids. Lets see how long it takes him to run from that room!!! I'll bet 10 people could'nt drag him in it. HE! HE!
Just some thing to think about when moving to florida.
I wish I would have know all this stuff before I moved here.

I would rather be in 140 degree DRY weather than all this humid crap with misqitos (sp) like Vara4 said. Weather here sucks, I miss California and Arizona weather. I used to bike (not dirt bikes just BMX) miles and miles every day non stop from the time I got home from school until 2 hours after it got dark and would sweat but not bad like out here and only thing that hurt was my head where it felt like it was going to explode cause it was hot and your temples would feel like your pulse (I am sure you know how that feels when its hot as hell out and you are running or something). Even though I lived there and am real used to the heat I am used to the cold now, I love cold weather, it doesn't bother me anymore at all, I always feel hot anyways and always wan't A/C or windows down in the car when the rest of my family is freezing. heh.

yeah I couldn't live there I hate humid weather but last summer the humidity sure was high here with 125 temp it took alot to keep cool well not realy thank god for the colordo river I just about forgot I had a house I lived there so much I'm ready for next year though I just pick up another 17 ft boat it got a color tv /w satelite so I will be living on the river and still watch nascar race's watchin bikini's and drinkin root beer since I dont drink alcohol anymore but I do got to do somthing about my root beer belly as far as a/c everything I own has that two 90 type A/C

Whata life John, whata life.

yeah I know It can be tough at times but I keep trying

How hard do ya try and get that root beer belly down? hehe
