On the website, they have little clips from last year, so somewhere someone is taping. I don't think it is aired, like the Speed Road Tour Challenge or anything, but maybe they give participants a DVD or something? Maybe if we take our video camera, Ralph can get some footage? We'll figure somethig out!Amy, Mark and I were just talking about this...are they going to be filming it or anything so us 'regular' people get to see it

Ralph has been up for Federal Jury Duty, and when he went in, he told them about this package we won. The Lawyers through they would be done with the trial by then, so they weren't too concerned. But they said "She doesnt get to drive the car or anything, does she?" Ralph says yeah she does. "Well, I wouldn't let my wife do that! What does her mom think of this?" Ralph says, "Her mom is okay with it, and her dad is hoping you prevent me from going, so he gets to!"
And yes, they did pick Ralph for the jury! ( but no court that week as the judge is out of town!)
Mom to 8
How exciting! So funny about the lawyers. If they only knew.Glad Ralph will get to go!

Started some training today....
Monday morning when I got into work, the chemistry manager, who is my former boss, a friend, and huge NASCAR fan, decided it was time to get moving on this, and started talking about hooking up with a local Ford delaer (sound familiar
We went over to one of the Dealer's here in town today, and after explaining the whole deal to 2-3 guys, we finally got a Nascar fan. He thought the prize was very cool and was pretty jealous! But he sat down and was explaining racing to me from his motorocycle experience, and then was talking through the different cars I could try and what experience they would give me. We started in a 2008 Mustang 5 Speed. It took me a while to get the hang of starting in 1st again, but once I got going, shifting is no biggie. My friend was very patient at "teaching" me manual transmission and at least outwardly didn't freak down at my bunny hop starts and stalls!
We took the Mustang back and then took out an automatic F150. I must be used to driving a bigger car now, cuase it didn't feel nearly as big as the one I test drove 4 years ago. The sales guy was really ineterested in the contest and said I could come back to try other cars...he get me in a F250 and maybe back in the Mustang. Hopefully he doesn't get tired of seeing me over there!!
If things work out, plans for Sunday are to go to my friends house and hook his trailer up to his Chevy Avalance. Get me used to towing something, since I never have, and the video showed them pulling a trailer....

Divided we fall.

I think the challenge here is to save the BurnOut till the checkered flag lap -
and NOT do a burnout when the green flag drops!

Ahhh yes ~ Driving 102 ... Stick Shiftin ...
Glad you got enrolled in Skewel - study hard!
Any chance you could call someone connected with the Ford program and ask
What Skills you'll be required to demonstrate?
It'd be nice if you could practice only the skills you'll need in the Contest.
I thought I saw a Dually Pickup in some of the still pix ... if at all possible get a
lil "drive time" in a Dually
Are ya wearin a driver's Helmet and Nomex Suit for your practice sessions?
GOOD LUCK - Drive FAST!!
