Tim, I used the out of town funeral of a friend back in 2004 when I was helping HAR and went with them to Missouri and Tulsa, Okla in September of that year...if memory serves me correctly that was the first 2 races Jerry drove the car. I have to admit that I felt bad about making that excuse up to get out of work...didn't feel bad about getting out of work but I know I would have felt really bad if something had happened to one of my friends. I had this funny feeling for the whole trip, but, fortunately nothing happened. Back in 1982 I remember talking to Rick Nichols after an Eldora All Star race. I asked him how he got out of work to make all of the races..he said "oh, I've had an Aunt die 4 or 5 times."

The problem is i just can't afford to take a no pay day and then go to the races. Pulling it off at work is one thing but my wife is a foot taller than me (which most people are) and i'm no match for her possible retalliation for an incident like this.
