    How do you pull these stunts off???
    Ya got a 4-Leaf Clover tattooed on your forehead?

    Four weeks to become a Stick Shifter ... that Can be done!

    "Practice with a 'Big Truck'" ??? Uhhhh - just WHAT are you supposed to Drive?
    "BIG" as in a Car Transporter/Semi? THAT might take a lil extra Coaching!

    So ... who ya taking along on this adventure?
    Are you taking applications, or does Ralph have that spot sewed up?

    Have *Phunn*!!

    No, not that big!! Like an F150/ F250 size. I'm used to driving a small truck..Ranger, Dakota size.

    Ralph is pretty well tied into going. His one hang up is that he has been called for Jury duty and selection is going on. He hasn't been called in yet, but has to continue to check until the panel is chosen. If he has to go in, the trial could take 3-4 weeks. I have to return the packet by Friday at 4 pm. Hopefully by then he will know he has been released!

    Oh how cool! If Ralph cannot go, I know tons of folks who'd jump at the chance! And can drive stick, so could coach you, too!

    As I told you earlier...COOL

    I think it's awesome that someone I know is a winner...lol!

    Like Karen said, I know someone who'd go if Ralph can't

    Oh, Mark said his truck isn't a stick but you could use it...it's big!

    And you didn't have to eat pork and beans.

    A hint on the manual tranny.
    Think of a seesaw. Pretend you have to balance the pedals.
    As you let out the clutch, give the car gas.

    Well, I guess you haven't come down yet for that high you're on. How cool that you won this trip etc. If Rob was still around, he would be trying to convince you that a brother is better to take along than a husband. Didn't you go to your first truck race with him?

    I can't think of anyone more deserving of this trip than you. I hope you find a truck to practice on - hey, why don't you go to a Ford dealer and tell them about your win - maybe they would let you practice on one so they could use you in some way for a commercial or something. Never hurts to ask!
