One of our own, Hummers Gone Wild

[KenP]

That's great to see.

To All:

I had no idea this was posted on here! In fact, it is a press release I have not even read yet.

I did not want to clog the forum on this subject.

I have been busy building the second H2 for the series. It will be a black SUV with all the equipment you see on the yellow plus some new equipment as my sponsors start to provide their products.

I have three weeks to build it, and have not yet found a black SUV--someone cancelled one on me without even telling me until days later. We are assembling the parts and will put it together in five days once I get one. We are looking for a used, low miles black SUV.

Next year, I will provide two more--brand new ones with higher lifts and better electronics.

There is a typo on it. That H2 is lifted 8" with another two inches for tires---total lift 10"--we can do 15-16 inch lifts here for those who dare.

I also have a TV spot being shot right now--"Building a Trick H2" which will show on CNN airport news and 394 public televsion stations, and other places to be determined.

I have some killer video which I will post in a few weeks--no time to edit it.

I will keep you posted on this if you are interested. I have three other race series that want my H2's--just too much to do here right now.

Thanks-John

John no problem. I understand the pressure Your under. Things on this end will be more primed in 30 days. Give me a ring or I may just try You if You can pick up fine if not let Me leave a message.
Seriouly if You have trouble having drivers all You have to do is familiarize Me on one of Your trips or I should say train Me and I'll go and drive just to help if You are short handed. You won't owe Me anything unless You would want to pay to fly Me there. My situation is I can go any time You want anywhere You want. In training on Your next trip in when You want Me to come I will pay My way to get to You and room etc., You would most likely would not need extra hands so it would be like going to a driver class and I'm paying My dues. You train then You can airfare if You want if not it is not a problem I'll get there. I keep everything pretty much where I can take off at short notice. I do that alot. It would be one of the best things that has happend to Me in many years as far as doing something different and special.

The sign of a great leader is one that can surround himself with people who can get a job done and delegate the responibility.
Thanks
Rick

Thanks Paragon--I have been so crazed preping parts for the second pace car, answering press releases, meeting sponsors, obtaining my own sponsors, preping for a new TV spot, etc. that I forgot to tune in. I need a staff of three or or four (in time I will have them--only want the best so it takes time to hire right)

As the season goes on, we expect to see more of the Yellow H2 and then the Black H2 (I finally found an 04 which is being delivered to my door on Monday). The Volusia race the intro for the Pace Car. It will be wrapped by DMS with graphics soon and back on the race circuit soon.


We are working on getting the Yellow H2 to Vegas next week if possible. NASCAR is running the same weekend. I will know in a few days if it will be there. In a few weeks, both H2s will be split between two WoO series and brought to every WoO race in the US until the season ends in NOV.

Rick--I owe you a call and will do so soon. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Just so everybody knows do not start trying to cut into My territory. I have been working talking with John about driving or at least riding with Him when I can so it is a done deal so back off. Seriously when I saw what he was going to be doing I called Him and I have made plans to either go and ride with Him and later if he feels comfortable I asked to drive for Him. I have other business ventures that we are discussing. He is a great person. As nice a guy and helpful as I have met. I would be glad to be associated with Him. He is for sure an asset to our group of the Hummer world as well as our site.

I know how covered up You are. As soon as You are able would You get Me a list of races and dates You will be at in future. If I had asked You sooner I would have flown to Vegas. Please get Me an itinerary so i can plan trips to Your races. I have to mesh them together with tourney softball, taking My H2 to shows, etc. (have one in March locally and 1 in April in OK) I Love staying busy and on the go. I Love to fly. That is one of the next things I plan to do is finish My pilots license and then I can fly to races in short notice.

I will be in NY May 28th and leave on June 1, for daughters performance. I got the itinerary this week. The travel agent did a great job for kids and few parents that are going.
We will be at NY Towers Hilton 4 nights, See Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, a post concert cruise for diner and dancing with sight seeing of Manhattan skyline/Statue of Liberty, 3 Broadway shows (kids get to decide that) Macy's discount coupon (should have heard a little girl screaming when We read that part) and free time to see other things while kids rehearse. Cost of all tickets are included in price to agent, including Kids performance. If anyone has recomendations of things I may squeeze in I would appreciate. (come on guys seriuos stuff, I already know what soe of You are thinking) John will I be to far for You to pick Me up for a day visit at Your shop or better to rent a car? I would just as soon spend My free time at Your shop working on something for You except, that i will spend 1 day wondering around with My daughter and Her not yet official fiance. He is sharing room with Me. Both are great Christian kids and even if i were not going I would not worry.
I know it could be to early yet for a year long itinerary but as much as You have planned would give Me good start.
Thanks John and have a safe trip. I know You will do Us proud!

I understand that on the dialup. That is all I can get in the boonies. How do You like the Directway? I have been thinking about but I heard it is high priced. I'm lucky to get 33kbps and most of the time 24. Like watching ice melt.

I looked it up and enabled it. It is 606 on DTV. I get it all done and I'm not subscribed to it. Seems like every other month they call say for just this much get this more and I still do not have the crap i want to watch. I'm about ready to try Dish Network. I have friends on it that switched and said they like it better. OH well K SA RA SA RA.
Thanks
TAZ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I like Dish much better. We have 2 Dish 721DVR receivers here and it is much easier to use and better functioning than the TIVO receivers for DTV we have at the farm. I only have DTV down there because it is also my internet (Direcway) connection. I couldn't do the dial up since I spend 25% of my time there. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
