PLEASE WEAR THOSE SEAT BELTS!

Hafa Adai (Chamorro for "good day") from Guam!

I've been out here in the Western Pacific this month with the Kansas Air National Guard, so not much has been happening on the home front. I did miss the NHRA Summer Nationals and a SCCA road racing weekend at Heartland Park Topeka (first time I've missed the NHRA event since HPT opened) but it was bound to happen one day or another. I know I'll really be ready to work the SCCA Double National on Labor Day Weekend when it gets here, and hope to see as many as can come out and join us!

When I came over this time I wanted to make sure I met up with the Guam Region of SCCA. On Sunday, 22 June I was able to do this, and I had a wonderful time! While their autocross event was smaller than the ones held in Kansas City they were just as 1) safe, 2) fair and 3 (most important): FUN. I had the honor of working their course, shagging cones for some really good cars and drivers. The members here were excellent examples of why people get involved with SCCA: come for the cars and competition, stay for the people. Once we had closed down the course for the day and packed everything up I was honored to be invited to dinner with four members of the club. I left knowing I had made friends for life, and know the heart of SCCA in Guam is beating strong. Every time my unit gets deployed here I hope to return for more good times with good friends. To learn more about the Guam Region of SCCA, stop by their website at www.guamroadracers.com

The Guam Region holds their events at Guam International Raceway in the Yigo villiage on the island. On Friday, 20 June I got the chance to see their drag strip in action -- it's a great facility as it is, and it's only just getting started! Future plans call for not only an improved drag strip, but also a road course and circle track. It's definitely going to be quite a facility, one truly world-class place to race. You can read more about the facility at www.dragguam.com.

Once I get back, the plans call for more work towards putting the Red Bullet back on the street, getting a 1985 Olds Calais in working order as a back-up piece of transportation, and getting started on the GMC truck project. With warmer weather comes the opportunity to work on the house projects as well, and funding has been secured to get some big-ticket jobs done that are long overdue.

Nothing new on the A/Q Wiring Service front, especially since I'm over here. Right before the local dirt track season got underway I installed the old wiring into Bubba Harvey's new modified chassis, with a couple of updates. He's having a pretty good season so far, I can't wait to get back and see how the rest of the season goes.

Take Care!
