SHAWN

Well I seen where the Morgan Lucas team has selected Shawn Langdon to be the driver of the second Lucas Oil T/F dragster for 2009. I was really hoping they would look at and pick Hillary Will for their driver, but, oh well. I am still pulling for her and you should too. Go Girl. Still the 2009 season should be a great one. Especially in Funny Car and Pro Stock I would think. These two classes are so close it is hard to tell who will win in either of these classes. I mean, last year, Tony Schumacher just set sail and took it all in T/F. He just ran away with everything. With Alan Johnson gone to form his own team with Larry Dixon as his driver, this is going to shake things up a bit, I think. So many new teams, and teams that only run a few races a year now pledging to run all of 09, man, It is going to be exciting. Hopefully, J.R. Todd and Hillary Will can be involved too. As you can tell, I am a big Hillary Will Fan. I've met her numerous times and even got her to talk to my sister, Camille, on my cell phone last year in Memphis. Camille is still talking about that moment and she is now one of the biggest NHRA fans in North Mississippi area. She got to go with us to the Night of Fire show on Nov. 1st, 2008, and got to watch a wheel standing schoo bus and a couple of Jet Cars along with some local racers and some Pro Mods and she still talks about that today. She will be going with us to the October Memphis NHRA race for the full 3 days and I hope that Hillary is there so she could meet her. (although her favorite is Tony Schumacher) but she loves Hillary just as much. We can all just hope that she can get a ride. And lets not forget about our Cajun Sister, Angelle Sampey. A champion like her, someone has got to put her on a bike. I only got to meet her once, at Memphis, 08, and she truly remembered me when I mentioned that I was at a parade in her grandmothers hometown of Gheens, La. I, too her, are the Missplaced Cajun. Speaking of parades, Mardi Gras is coming up in February, the 24th, to be exact. I plan on being there. I will be leaving on the 19th and coming back on the 25th, (need that day to recoup) and hopefully, I will run into Angelle at the Gheens parade. I hope to see a lot of people that I know that live down that way. I know I will have a good time, no a great time, while I am there. Crawfish, Roast Beef Po-Boys, Beads, Beer. Crabs, maybe a fishing trip to the Gulf, Good times, and Good Friends. More on that later, until then, keep hoping for Hillary, J.R., and Angelle and that they will be there to fight for their right to be #1 in their classes that they run in. They are all Champions in my book. Hope to see them and you at the races...Thank You, later Jeff...............
