Would like to take this opportunity to wish all my U.S.A. friends and their families a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and prosperous 2008. Please take care on the roads during the holiday period and look forward to seeing you all in 2008 at the races! As it is summer here now, you should all be packing your bags and leave winter behind and head down under for fun, sun, and drag boat racin'!

Hey Gary! That's pretty hard to imagine, summertime at Christmas, every year. Although, I am headed somewhere warm myself.

Gary...... A very Merry Christmas to you and everyone on that big island! One of these days Joe Jr. and I will get there to see your race events. Joe Shelfo Sr.

Gary....This is ALexis and Brianna, Jimmy Todd's Daughters that you met in Red Bluff California this past May. We too would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

With any luck, maybe "old cheapo" dad will put up some $$$$$ so we can all come "down under" and visit next year....just kidding..He really is not cheap...!!!

Take care and we will surely see you at the races in 2008..!!!!!

Alexis, and Brianna Todd

Hey Gaz,
