Well, THAT was worth losing an evening of writing over and forgetting to tape Numb3rs...

Really, it was! *dances*

The drag race season has begun anew at Rocky Mountain Raceway, and thus we hied our way to the track yesterday around three-ish. Other than the Detroit locker in the Willys trying to throw us off the on-ramp a couple of times, the drive was without incident.

Now, as folks may or may not know, the Hubby had a slight meltdown last year. He went middle-age crazy, as it were. No drag racing, no jeeping, no working on the Mustang, no indulgence in any of the hobbies he's cultivated over the years. We bought an airplane instead. Yeah.

Therefore, he hasn't raced since the Halloween Classic at Boise since 2005. Which he kicked ASS at, BTW.

They had a test and tune a few weeks ago. His first run, the rear axle housing got separated from the frame. Made a god-awful noise. Remember when he set his pants on fire a little bit ago? That was him, repairing that.

So, what with the new repairs, and the fact that he hadn't raced in a LONG while, we didn't really expect a whole lot. Maybe he might win a few rounds, but usually, when I go... he gets knocked out in the first round. Because that's my life.

But last night...

LAST NIGHT.

Not only did he WIN every round, including the final one...

But he also cut a perfect .000 light.

I realize most of you have no idea what that means. Suffice to say that most racers go a lifetime without doing that.

So.

YAAAAAYYYY!!! Go, Hubby!
