These are a few of my favorite things.......

Anyone that knows me well, then you know very very well my deep love for drag racing.......I miss my days of being at the track every other weekend working on the cars, being out on the track smelling tire smoke and being in the thick of it.....well now its twice as awesome to watch from home if I can't be there in person....on our new Mitsubishi 60 inch 1080p DLP HDTV...Sony surround system, new piece of furniture to house it all (thank you freddy's bonus!!)...its truly the next best thing to being there in person. Now if I can only get someone to invent a way to pipe in tire smoke and the smell of nitro...I would REALLY be in heaven!! :)


Ron Capps...the colors on his funny car look AMAZING on this tv...LOVE IT!!

Ashley Force.....that's my girl!!! Loved her daddy for years (John Force, and she is definitely following in daddy's footsteps big time!!!) YOU GO ASHLEY!!!


My boy Jack Beckman........Jack used to race with us in the "lower classes" at LACR, Las Vegas, Arizona etc...he is an awesome driver, used to teach at the Frank Hawley Drag Racing School in Pomona CA, and is also a cancer survivor..not to mention one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.....GO "FAST JACK!!!"


Another shot of Ashley's car and the whole shebang with the sound system etc.....

Unfortunately,my two favorites got paired up right off the bat in round one at the Las Vegas finals earlier this afternoon....Beckman edged Ashley out at the finish line......was a little just desserts after Ashley took Beckman out in the finals last weekend here in Houston in the final round to win the entire weekend in Funny Car...was hard for me to choose who to root for!! :)


Then.....couple pics of a few of my other "favorite things"......

Our boy and our "girl" having a blast playing tug of war.......






And the two men in my life....my sweet hubby and my wonderful little boy......so cute!! :)

Can't you just burn a little tire in the fireplace? Like the tires on a lawn mower. Wonder if that would give you the same smell? :-)
