haha i feel ya man. i wish i was back in texas also. i also think its funny how ignorant, and retarded many ppl are that they base there opinion of texas on the 7 weeks they spent in bootcamp or 3 months at sheppard.

luke isnt bad, but i would rather be at travis or lackland working in a real hospital and not some stupid *** small clinic. your at D-M right? how is that place?

D-M is ok but id rather be stationed in Texas lol maybe im biased. your medical? id rather be home and it is quite funny how many people i hear complaining how bad Texas is when they have no idea how nice it is.

sorry i dont mean to be wierd but is your name troy? i knew a girl that was here at D-M and she was from houston as well and dated a guy at luke that was medical, her name was sarah. she brought the guy over to our house when my wife and i had a party. any way you ever get out this way? i just seen that video of the fella that staged with his rear tires and then "launched" in reverse LMFAO. classic.

naa man my name is drew. i cant think of anyone here with the name troy that works in the med group. Then again u know we mainly go by last names. ive never been to tuscon. hell ive only been to scottsdale and tempe a couple times. i need to get out more. ppl have also told me i need to go up to sedona/flagstaff sometime.

lol at that video. you shoulda seen the young kid at firebird raceway. it was like he had taken his gf out on a date to the track with his daddy's bmw to race it and look cool. when he launched he was in reverse lol, it was priceless. i think it ended up being a 23 sec pass haha. i was actually racing him on that pass. I didnt get the best view, but he made my 13 sec pass look fast as hell lol. i think ruckus (jeff) may have seen it. he was there that day.

it was pretty funny IMO. i just wonder why the track tech on the staging lights or the announcer didnt notice the reverse lights.

anyway when you goin back out to firebird i could take my truck to come chill for a bit but my car is outa comission so to speak(bad head gasket leaking coolant into cylindar) sp i am trying not to drive it too much if at all. just waiting for funds. also trying to get a motorcycle up and running after a NASTY brother in law IDIOT spill(said he knew how to ride).

i never really go to firebird, we always go to speedworld cause its a lot closer. ive only been to firebird once and that was my first week out here in az. its too far away. speedworld is like a 15 min drive compared to about an hour to get to firebird. i havent even run my car at the track with the new setup yet. i grenaded my old motor back in jan. ive just about broken in my new motor, got about 1800 miles on it. just need to get a tune and im set.
