Reverend Horton Heat sponsors race car

Howdy Cats and Kittens,

It's been a long, long time since I put up a blog. Here's why. For me blogs don't work unless they rant about something. It's funny that since my last "update from the road", they're now called "blogs". They were probably called that back then - I was/am just too out of it to know it. Anyway, unless I'm pissed off about something, the "blog" is just a sweet little chit-chat about what famous people I've brown-nosed. Hey, that's another reason - I don't brown-nose anybody, therefore, no little blog. Anyway, enough said. I'm back. I won't rant this time, but, I've got a few things up my sleeve for future "blogs" (man I dislike that word).

I've been sponsoring a race team. Jeff Milburn racing. In case you don't know, Jeff has been building a '32 Ford 5-window coupe for me. It's a project that we've been working on for more than a decade. It's going to be ready next year - finally. We went to talk to the upholstery guru this week. Anyway, in the meantime, I've watched my genius friend Jeff grow his expertise and reputation until now he's gone really nuts. What he's doing now is pretty major. It's Nascar Craftsman Truck Series. In case you don't know what this is, I'm going to include a link to the Jeff Milburn Racing web site. In a nutshell, it's a David and Goliath scenario. David (Jeff Milburn Racing) vs. Goliath (all the other Nascar Craftsman Truck teams who spend millions and millions of dollars on they're cars and gigantic crews and engineers). Jeff's team is made up of these young punk/rockabilly looking guys with cool tattoos who show up in a big black 18-Wheeler with a primer black Chevy truck in the back. What's really cool is that to even get to this point is an engineering feat in itself. The presence of Jeff's team at the few events we can afford to attend has a lot of rich Nascar teams scratching their heads in amazement. The specs that your car has to meet to hang with these guys are very intense. It's Nascar. For Jeff to even be there and now be qualifying and finishing races, is...well kind of unbelievable - unless you know Jeff. I'm asking all of our fans to help David beat the Giant and just go to Jeff's my space page and get added as a friend. I'll keep you posted as to when Jeff will race again. By the way, he's not the driver. He's the car builder/owner. I'm not sure who the next driver will be. Go #76.

Thanks,
