I'm famous!
Thats right, famous.
Not as famous as Elvis or Paris Hilton, but I was quoted and have pics of my soapbox car and my truck in the current issue of Hot Rod Magizine.

They did a several page story on the San Fernando Valley Illegal Soap Box Federation.

Funny, I also have an ad on Craigs List for my shop. Some guy calls me the other day and we discuss his needs and what I can do for him. Then he says " Do you race soapboxes?" I laughed and said yes. He had just got his copy in the mail.

Yes thats right, boys and girls, Maddog is famous.
I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the fortune to roll in.


Waiting.....

Still waiting......


OK, going back to work now.

Your welcome anytime Gasser.

No more races till March. Next season should bring a bunch of new cars out.

I plan on busting this one out on some of the straighter longer courses next year. That should be interesting.

No I still dont drive. What do you think I am? Stupid or something?

 

[Bonehead]

Rock on! This is only the start! The Start of something really big. I can see it now, your name up in lights, Partys, Limos, Wine, women, song,..... I am still trying to figure out where the money part comes from.

 

[donsrods]

I don't have to buy the magazine, for some reason they posted your picture at the Post Office.............something about "rogue racers" or the like.


Congrats big guy.........will you sign my dashboard?

Maddog, Got my Hot Rod mag the other day. I was wondering if that was you. Looks like those soapbox cars could be a lot of fun.

 

[cycledog]
