Nothing to do with airguns, but check this out: got to http://www.nhra.com, click on the box on the left side of the page that says "Geiger Counter" and scroll down to a note from 2-26-07. Tells about our weekend at the races( not the hospital stuff) and a pic of my youngest with his "Dream Girls", who drive dragsters.

Took the youngest to the races again today( Not a national event like last week, but a NHRA Division 7 race for sportsman drivers, no professional classes) with more free tickets from the same guy. Graeme got to see "his girls" again, and another racer gave him a free t-shirt. He's happy.

Eric's counting the minutes until 6AM when they take the tube out. I won't be staying up til midnight on The Gate like last night tonight as I have to be at our favorite destination resort(sic) around 5:30.

Thanks Guys!
