The Calm before the Storm: Pomona Divisional

[GTX JOHN]

Here we are waiting to qualify at the NHRA Division 7 race
in Pomona California in Stock and Superstock.

I did well at the last Vegas Race beating the last year's World
Champion and our good friend CW twice in the same day in two
class PRO and SPORTSMAN. In the Semis I put down a .009 to his
close .022 and took a .002 stripe at the finish. A round or two before
in the other class, I took a .005 stripe for the win. I will not beat him
very often this year!

Sadly, after 3 days straight all day (90+Degrees) in the PRO final late Sunday Night,
my leg spasmed and I could not hold the car to get staged (No fun being so Damn Old)
I was foot braking both class that weekend for practice for the upcoming Nationals and Divisionals.

God Blesses me so very much every Day with his undeserved kindness!

Son of David have mercy on your pitiful servant!

Div. 7, Lucas Oil sportsman race this weekend, must be a new deal

We were at Gatornationals last weekend. Had a blast as usual. Been going since we saw Bernstein top 300 in '92. Too bad we're on the other coast. Would love to see you race.

These cars were on display in Top Eliminator Club.

We will be there racing 5 or 6 cars at Winternationals.

Lord Willing!

Spasms, get them a lot, worse if I drink a cup of coffee. About the last vice that I can enjoy, magnesium helps. Yes, getting old sucks in some ways, but at 76, I wouldn't have it any other way. Stay the course John!

Thanks, I started taking 1500 MG of Magnesium daily this week!

I do not take that much, more like 250, but it does help.

Dehydration also causes leg cramps in particular, so a long day in warm weather without enough water can be a factor in legs cramping or spasming.

Leg cramps: Different people get 'em for different reasons. For me, a couple of swigs of tonic water (that has quinine in it...Schweppe's) and they're gone in seconds. LIterally...seconds.
