Me and Xpndbl3 are famous now

Thats right, we are the coolest ever. We both got picked to be in the 2008 MFBA calander. My 91 Formula is the october car and his car is March. We are the only two 3rd gens in it too.

http://www.cafepress.com/mfba.190691863 Click on view calander pages and then select march and october to see the pictures. Buy one now and bring it to the Hooters meet and if you are lucky we might consider signing it for ya for a small fee (beer).

Re: Me and Xpndbl3 are famous now

05, 06, and 07 were at hooters. This is the 3rd year for it. 47 people showed up last xmas, too bad you weren't there. Even denny showed up and kevin L. from iowa. 05 was smaller, i think 18 people, we were all in a giant row of seats....got a picture with that myblack1991 with that 6' plus hooters girl and he's 5'2" or something...it was hilarious.

here's a pic of half the people that showed up last year:


and your fearless drinking leader, though kevin L. gave me a good run for my pitcher count:



in fact in 04 i had one at hooters as well, but 7 people were there, so i don't really count it because no one showed up.

Re: Me and Xpndbl3 are famous now

oh yeah Tim, i remember being at TGIF in '04, that was awesome and a bunch a peeps showed up that night. '05 yeah dave's place, long drive! Last year at Stateline was a nice evening of conversation of topics and pizza!

you talking about Famous '88? oh i remember being famous for brief periods of time..haha...here's a few examples...
back in 96 i ran the Alan Kuwicki 7k fun/run walk..i actually was captured on tv running on the Milkwaukee Mile backstretch looking tried as heck...i still got the video for that, my dad was caught on tape as well, running behind former racer Chad Little...
Probably around that time too i was on the radio show "Benny Parson's Fast talk" asking him a question about driver's metal awareness during long green flag runs.
My voice was also heard on CLTV's Racing Sport Page with Pete Pistone a few years ago, answering a racing trivia question (which i got right)...but never got my free stuff! (got that on tape as well) damn you tribune company!
This year, for a split few seconds a camera caught me celebrating at the White Sox game after Tadahito Iguchi hit a triple and almost went thur a cycle!
I also hosted a tv program about racing on Continental Cablevision when i was 16, for only one show...I will never speak about that again other then this one time...this was probably one of the most humiliating things i did in my life!

...athough i have to say congrats in getting a thirdgen in a calander!...maybe next year if i subscribe, i'll get my baby in my presense must be felt LOL!
----------
oh yeah i went to this Hooter's event last year as well...i see me

Re: Me and Xpndbl3 are famous now

I must do more searching, i know you have had hooters gatherings, but them being for christmas is news to me. I am confused. i swear in 04 we were at TGIF's in naperville. And i am pretty sure we got together at stateline in 06.

Re: Me and Xpndbl3 are famous now

well since you missed hooters, which would have been motivation enough


haha....it will now be known as beerfest, i think we averaged 2.3 pitchers per person that night. I think my drinking buddies have a racing problem.
