My wife got into racing shortly after I did,and we have never been closer. Best of luck to you! www.dunnuckracing.com

"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake." SRT DEMON ONE SEAT

You can do what you want...but total strangers at the track could care less and it's pretty hillbilly way to start off a marriage. The day should be special, not the same as going to the can between rounds. Hey you asked!

I think I know the member we are talking about, and quite frankly, I can't see him getting married any place else.

There are always going to be people that don't like what you do, to bad for them! We are getting married on the starting line and having our reception right there so other racin' folks can come and celebrate with us... Have fun and good luck!

Local magistrste came to the track for 12:00 noon, on sunday. They just called Super/pro to the staging lanes for our 1st timerun. I put the car in the staging lanes, and went and got married on the starting line. It took about 10 minutes, then I was back in the car for 1st timerun. 4998717-tn_Picture003.jpg (117 downloads) 548 cu. in., Bill Mitchell Aluminum Block, CRT 727 auto trans, Alston Chassis. 8.981et at 149.46 mph. 1.204et - 60 foot, So Far....

The bride walked down the isle which was made up of 16 sprint cars. AS they ran down the isle we waved checkered flags. They also started the races for the rest of the evening. They are still quite active in racing, she rather here us start up a new engine than going to a fancy place for dinner. Having a common interest keeps the relationship close. Good luck and let us know where you have your registry, I doubt if Summit or Jegs has one though. I know that Bend is now a larger town, but do you happen to know the Campisi family there?
