CONGRATULATIONS Mikey! That’s real decent for times and mph the first time out this year, and I’m sure,you behind the wheel again, and a ‘little’ more ‘tweaking’, you’ll be ‘consistent’ and a ‘happy camper’ with low 10’s!!! Way to go Mikey!!! 😉 😀 . Pete.

“Good for You” Mikey ❗ Like Pete said, good et and mph ❗
You’re right. Being consistent is what you want. I know that even
though you weren’t behind the wheel, you had a great day. 😛 😛

Frank… 😎

Sounds like an excellent day for you and the Toy. It is great to see you got out with the car again.

Looking ‘GOOD’ Mikey!!! You got my curiousity 🙄 How did you mount the camera to Papa’s Toy, and get ‘steady’ coverage, start to finish Mikey? Pete.

Pete, it’s a Go Pro setup, belongs to Juan Carlos. It mounts using a super strong suction cup. Next time it will be on the roof, and we can also put it inside the car. All 3 passes were on the foot brake, and shifting at 6800rpm. ………………Mikey

Real cool Mikey, looks and sounds good.

Well, I went to see my Chemo Dr. at the Cancer Center today, and I will start my second round of Chemo in about 2 weeks. 1 day a week for 24 weeks, then off for 2 weeks, then surgery to put all the parts back where they belong. I get the feeling that the Valley isn’t going to see me this year, and I’m very upset. Again, the car is ready and I’m not, just like last year!! Wonder if anyone would like to come get the car, tow it up, and race it?? I’ll give instructions on all you need to know about the car and supply the fuel. ……………………Mikey

Mikey…Very disappointing to hear you may not be bringing Papa’s Toy to the Valley. I was looking forward to seeing you drive the Willis at the next race. Guess there are some things we just can’t control.

[babycakesParticipant]

Mikey, that’s a ‘very’ kind offer, right from the heart! However, you and the ‘Toy’ are like a marriage, should ‘not’ be separated by ‘no’ means! Your health comes ‘FIRST’, and that’s priority!!! If the ‘healing’ process takes another year to put you back 100% health wise, so
be it!!! That’s more important to us all who love and respect you as a friend! Disappointing,”YES”, but then again,there’s ‘always’ next
year we’ll all be waiting for ya to make the trip and watch ‘Papa’s Toy’, blast down the 1/4 at the ‘Valley’!!! Stay ‘positive’ as you’ve
been all along!!! Pete.

Mikey, I couldn’t have put it any better than Pete just did ❗ You hang in there buddy…
As always, our thoughts and prayers are with you…….”Have a nice Easter”!!

Frank…

[mikey]

Thank you all for the kind words, I really appreciate them. I’m feeling better about things, and I’ll play it one day at a time and see what happens. Maybe I’ll be feeling good enough to just come up myself, no car. We shall see!! …………..Mikey
