Is this a good idea or bad? We plan on doing it on a two day event on the Saturday evening. He is a member here and a hard core racer. We plan on the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd at the Madras Oregon track. Bring all your mopars and come celebrate with us!!!

I can't think f a better way to do it.The two of you obviously have similar interest in racing and Mopars.I'm sure you could run into a few racers at the track that don't want you to take up "their" time,but they can get over it.
My wife got into racing shortly after I did,and we have never been closer.
Best of luck to you!

GREAT idea.

It is good that you are all-for-it ... most times the female just "puts-up" with her hubby/BF's hobby/obsession.

Dangerous Food

A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa . "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."

Sounds cool to me. Congrats! What would be really cool is for the new bride and groom to race each other right after the ceremony.

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.

I believe the lady said in her post that it was the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd? I also believe her scamp looks much like this one but who knows?

dont confuse the two.

Do whatever makes you happy. We often refer to the dragstrip as church since that is where we can generally be found on sundays. A local racer up here got married at one of our races last year.

Youre welcome....

I dont go to church and Im not religious. God's got bigger concerns than who gets to round 3 at the local bracket race.
