Hey everybody. I haven’t blogged since Pomona. I just needed a break. I had a lot going on and was burned out on blogging. It’s been awhile, and I apologize for that. I figured I should give a quick update before we left for Germany.

I’m actually at the airport in Indy getting ready to board a flight to Detroit and then on to Germany with Fred Simmonds and the GM Racing folks. Last year, I went alone; this year, Melanie gets to go with me. We’ll be visiting the troops for a few days just like we did last November.

On Wednesday, the rest of the group comes home, but we decided to make a vacation out of it. We’re going to spend a day in Germany and look at the castles. Then, we’ll take a train to Paris and spend a few days there. After France, we’ll board a train to London and spend a few days in the U.K. before we make our way back to the States.

At the shop, the guys have been hard at work. They’ve been going non-stop trying to get things going for next season. They’re going to the wind tunnel in Detroit with our new Funny Car body this week. Things look good the way we’re preparing for ‘07.

You would have never known the season has ended with our team as hard as everybody has been working. I hope to have some internet access in Paris, so I can send some photos and updates from our European journey.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Take care.
