1320Dart OP mopar Joined: May 2014 Posts: 503 Idaho	I wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone on this forum for putting up with my weird and off the wall questions. I'm sure I bring up questions on matters that have been asked many many many times before. See a little while back my wife (who is the love of my life and my soul mate) was diagnosed with a life threatening health problem. We have been doing a lot of hospital visits to get things figured out. With all of this stuff going on to boot, I've come down with some health issues as well. I think mine is mainly due to all the stress. I hope. We are not that old. I'm 43 and my wife is just a few years younger. We have been married for 14 years, and we have two little girls. So with that. I post questions that pop into my head or questions that other people ask me. I do this because it gets my mind off of things for a bit. Dealing with the car stuff de-stresses me for the most part. I know this is a race car forum. Not a forum to vent your problems. But I am breaking protocol to say THANK YOU ALL, for all of your help with performance advice, and for the personal help you have inadvertently given me. It means more than I could ever say Greg Knight Greg ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cost is irrelevant, making memories is far more valuable!

Every question on here I tried to give an educated answer whether I knew it or looked it up. This community helped me through a tough patch and I am glad we were there for you.

Whether we like it or not we need each other to a point and listning w/out reacting can be a good thing. Dig up my old S.W.A.T. stories and you`ll realize how normal your life is. Sorry about the health issues which at this point for me are all mental but we all understand in one way or another. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

And if asking questions on here eases your stress then by all means keep asking away. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

1320Dart OP mopar Joined: May 2014 Posts: 503 Idaho	All you guys are so great! Thank you. I'm way more concerned about my wife(Ashley) than whats going on with me. I'm hoping my health stuff will go back to somewhat normal once we can get her stuff all sorted out and hopefully get her on the mend. Dustin- I'm sure trying to get out there next year. I don't know if it will be at the first of the season. But I hope shortly after. I can't wait to see you back here next year though. Kicking all these guys butts and taking their money! You without a doubt, have sure made us Mopar guys around here proud!!!

Every time a subject comes up FRESH minds gets to add their input to the subject and open forum (meeting of the minds) we all learn. Some (most) of us old timers are pretty closed minded as we have done it our way for so long. I personally TRY to learn something new at the age of 58 to keep my mind working. Heck Yellowbullet even has a section just for silicon sealers as the market changes so often. I used GREY for the first time in my life and really liked it. Personally now I have been reading up on NITROUS, something I swore years ago I would never touch. What's next HEMI'S???????????? Yaaaaaa right. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

What touched me the most in this forum was a year ago this past June when I had a cerebral hemorrhage. Lots of racers and friends pulling for me. All of the well wishes and good vibes go a long ways! I do hope I get cleared to drive in 2015. If there is anything you need we are here for you. Ted Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

That's very much worth keeping positive over! My wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor. On top of that she has had a micro bleeder in or around her brain. They can't find it. It doesn't bleed very often. But it still does all the same. We have had 4 MRI's and not once did it catch the brain bleed. She has some very bad migraines quite often. Almost every other day. She has been put on some meds that seem to subside them. But its just a band-aide to me. So many things going on at once. I think they are more concerned about the bleeder than the tumor right now. I don't know if that's good or bad. I know I'm a mess. I'm doing everything I can to stay strong for her. Thank you very much for the well wishes! I hope to be hearing about your seat time experiences soon! Greg ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cost is irrelevant, making memories is far more valuable!
