i won't go on for hours- like i COULD about all the 'famous' and 'infamous'- folks that i had the reoccuring PLEASURE of remeeting-Dustin/Becca, Lance/Camo/Jessie/Ian---

i WILL have to give a special thanks to Jeff/Dave for letting me weasle in to being able to 'start' most of my 'Bender' sons--- and Ken Mercer in the #770 !!

but MOST--- all the folks that went out of their way to say "hello" and make their presence known ! coast to coast, border to border and BEYOND !!

the peoples from the 'least' coast--- YOU DONE GOOD !!!

but a special thought--- i got the chance to meet a lot of the moms/dads of some of the racers and notables !!-- maybe you didn't happen to see the special gleem in their eyes as they stood in back of their offspring-- proud to be there and able to share in the accomplishments of their kids !!!!

Adams' Dad/ Jeffs' Mom/Shannons' Dad---- and so many more---

I got to wave the green flag for 'my' car #770--- and wave the checkered for the return of #770---

ALL of you folks--- those that were there and those that were there in spirit---you gave an ole man the happiest weekend in his long life.

THANK YOU ALL-

Krusty

That was really cool having you wave the green Pops:smokin:

i was stoaked when i got up to the start line and they handed you the green flag!!! i was so glad to see you there, i think it helped calm me down a little......well maybe not. i had never been so wired. :)

this sign calmed you down though... didnt it? :D

luv ya ;)

I was pretty disapointed that I didn't get to say hi to you Krusty.

The last thing I expected to see at the start line was Krusty with the green flag. It did make me calmer and more confident that a trusted brother was there with Mike and I at the peak of excitement. THANKS KRUSTY!

and thanks to the Bender girls for reminding us when we came through camp half way through the race that we weren't alone and we had a huge support team.

It kind of made my goggles fog up just a little.:)

i noticed that almost all day, there seemed to be a bit of leakage around my eyes---

it was a very special day for me !

I remember you pulling me aside before the race and saying rember J.R. your not racing a class 1 car its a rock crawler be smart and dont drive over your head... I remember telling myself the whole race be smart dont drive over your head...Thanks Krusty if it wasn't for you Bender and Flash I would have not had the bad ass rig I have today...:smokin::)

Krusty, you are one of my most favorite people to talk to, even if i only get to do it for a few mins at a time.

I thought that was awsome that you were able to start you bender boys for the race and finish your car at the end.

when you were telling me about it before the race, you sounded like a proud papa... and rightfully so.

I got to hug the famous Krusty! :grinpimp: It was so awesome and special seeing you up front and center waving your boys through and giving them the thumbs up. :D

Krusty is, and always will be, the original King of the Hammers :)
