How is that for a teaser photo?!?!?!Saturday, Jim and I spent a wonderful day with some friends at a fundraiser. The fundraiser was for a high school athletic program. The cars that were there were absolutely beautiful!!! Half of the cars that were there, were guys that work with Jim at Cal Trans. The other half of the cars were people from a car club. To top it all off, Jim's boss, John Cassie, brought his dragster. Cassie still runs races with his dragster too, and he's really good. Should you like to go check him out with a lot of other awesome dragsters, you'll have to check out this race in Bakersfield.
Anyway it was a beautiful day, sunny with a nice breeze. We all sat around and watched the people go by. It was funny to watch. Most of the kids, (kids, I mean teenagers) didn't even pay any attention to the cars at all. It was most of their parents that were oohing and ahhing over the cars. Wow times have changed. When I was a kid, I would have sold my soul just to be around those cars!!! I'm now an adult and I think I would still sell my soul!!! LOL.We were out at the high school from 8am till about 2pm. For the most part people were really respectful of the cars and didn't touch them. However there was a few that were leaning on the cars while they were looking at them. A couple of people and myself had to walk away before we rung their necks. YOU LOOK, DON'T TOUCH!!!
Jim and I had a blast talking to everyone on what they did to the cars, how long they have had them, what they put in them, etc. But I think the most fun was watching Cassie let the kids sit in the dragster.
Well without blabbing any further here's some photos of the cars!!
