I had a 5 holer in 2002, won the S/P points championship the same year, I had people coming up to me in the pits and staging lanes saying "exactly what did they do to you and where can I get one" lol...hang in there Mike, you'll be Rampaging around soon, (see what I did there)...

Here's to a speedy recovery Mike, get well soon! Matt

Good luck Mike! Hang tuff. BTW, I believe I have a stock valve body from a 78 /79 727 if you want it. - my get well present.

Good-luck Mike and heal up quick. You will be in our thoughts.

Hang Tough, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks guys... I bought another trans to build up and I'm
gonna use that stock 518 VB to check the trans... my doc
just stopped in to check on me one last time before the
surgery tomorrow... I'm ready

Mike, good luck with the plumbing job, looking forward to seeing you on Drag Week. Still lots of time to get ready, you are a lot further along than most.

No need to jeopardize your recovery by getting out to the shop too early.

Like I said lot's of time and it sounds like you already have offers for help if you need it.

See you in September!

good luck Mike, had cardiac arrest 2013, stents and the newest ICD they put under your left arm,wires go under the skin to the heart, take the meds doc gives you, you'll find asprin and plavex in the morning will help give you some energy, the others I take at night because they make your heart rest, good luck prayers for you.Darren

According to MoparBilly you only have to start working on your car a couple days prior to Drag Week so I think you'll have plenty of time.

Prayers out to you from S.Tex. maybe you can have Mrs.P chime in and keep us posted after your procedure ? youll be in lala land for a good day or two.

Thanks guys.. I'll have the wife post something while I'm
down

That's funny! But true! I lost 15 lbs ! So Mike if ya want to lose weight, they are going to help you with that

Good luck Mr. P-Body..you'll do just fine.

Best of luck Mike...no health issues here yet but between the Dart and the Satellite its inevitable...thoughts will be with you...

Yep, I'm here and will give you guys updates tomorrow. Thanks for keeping his mind occupied while he's waiting around for the surgery to happen.

Wow, a sign of a true gearhead! In the hospital awaiting a quad-pass and you're thinking about your race car!!! Gotta admire that.
Good luck Mike! You'll do fine.

I think Mike is restless because they won't let him enjoy a smoke in the hospital!

Seriously Mike, we're all pulling for you and wishing for a successful operation and a speedy recovery!
