Cosmic answers in a Coors can

Best use of a beer can EVER. There's some sort of cosmic tie between dragster crews keeping dirt out of their zoomies and Jerry Reed humping cases of early peel-tab Coors cans across state lines with Burt Reynolds running interference in a feather-band cowboy hat and a whip-stingered T/A.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S FOSTER

Sure do miss Pat Foster. Not only was he an amazing drag racer, mechanic and builder, he was Cole's dad and a finger in the air to everyone who wanted to tame down the sport and make it safe for Castrol to slap their logo on a fiberglass bar o' soap-shaped with a Mustang grille decal on the one end.

I had the good fortune to be able to spend some memorable moments with Pat late at night in Cole's shop in Salinas, CA years ago. Tell you this much: I'm worth a few bucks more for the hours spend with the 'ol man. Check out the tribute that wediditforlove posted on Pat.

Rumble with the Jungle

Is there ever a wrong time to post a shot of the one and only Jungle Pam Hardy? No, matter of fact, we say post early and often. I'm proud to call Pam a friend and I'm sincerely looking forward to drinking with her again very soon. Wouldn't you?
