I have been feeling a little burned-out what
with working on two cars; needing to get my kids, Thing
1 and Thing 2, to swimming lessons; working my real job
(welding at Hansen Chassis) and doing it justice; working
my old lady and doing her justice etc., etc.

And
speaking of Hansen Chassis, I asked my boss, Bobby Hansen,
last month if I could do a little write-up on his cacklefest
car. “What do you want me to write?” I asked.
“Oh, just write up anything. I don’t care.”
he said. So, I wrote what I knew about the car and the next
day found a sheaf of papers with “corrections”
for all the mistakes I made.
This month I’ve got too much on my plate
to even begin wiping up last month’s mess, so check
out my next column for the “Behind the Music”
(“Behind the Welding”???) on Bobby’s Cackfestmobile.
So, as I was saying, I was feeling burnt out
by all that is going on until I was listening to the radio
and happened to hear the radio spot for Pomona! I got excited
all over again, even if all I do is show Ron Capps where
the chute levers are.
Bravo to the Goodguys for getting “Supermouth”
Larry Huffman to do the radio spot! My all-time favorite
spot is the one classic by Larry Huffman about the OCIR
PDA meet: the one where he shouts the classic line “Doorslammers
stay home!” That radio ad has been immortalized on
the Steve Evans “Be There” CD (or cassettes,
if you bought them back in the day), for those of you with
the dreaded disease CRS… you know “Can’t
Remember…uh… Stuff”
Speaking of not remembering, I just remembered
that I have to get out of here and work on a couple of race
cars. So if you happened to see a guy at Pomona who looked
like a zombie due to lack of sleep, I hope you came up to
me and said “Hi!”
