I owe Tommy Felicia at Invader an apoligy (again). Haven't been myself lately. The loss of my best friend recently has devastated me. He was a 40yr. racecar builder and driver. Everyone knew "IKE" in all the pits around our area. Always running around and helping everyone. He loved and lived racing. I was a lucky man to have known him. Bone cancer. We knew he was going to die sometime soon. Fought it for 5 yr.s. They gave him a yr. and a half to live and I helped stretch it to 5. Working on race cars and running around the midwest picking up old "FORDS" to build ratrods out of. I now have a farmyard full of old red iron and my memories. We were two of a kind. Especially hard on me as I have a very small circle of friends here. Not very social. DCR is where a hangout most of the time since I retired. Starters is where I am focused as you all know. Right know I am angry at everyone and everything. Just not myself. Thought I was doing better but have a ways to go yet. Those of you who have lost someone that close to you know how I feel. I am devastated. Empty and lost. Not religous. When something happens to the only livelyhood I have right now it through me and I lashed out at Tommy. For that I am sorry. Again, my apoligy Tom.
