THE TEQUILA CONNECTION

Yesterday morning, our friends, Kurt & Phyliss Hanson called to tell us they were in town. They were on their way from the last drag race of the season in Pomona, to Florida for the winter. The purpose of their stop in Lake Havasu was to get their race team merchandise trailer measured for a custom awning. When that process was completed, I led them up to the house, and after Kurt parked the trailer, he backed their motor home in next to the garage, adjacent to the electrical, water & sewer hookups.

We first met Kurt & Phyliss in 2005, when they went to work for MainGate, the company we had previously worked for during the 2002 & 2003 NHRA campaign. This past race season, they moved on to greener pastures, and are now in charge of the Alexis Dejoria merchandise trailer, which was debuted at the Dallas Race, near the end of this years season.

Kurt & Phyliss brought us up to speed on all of the happenings in the NHRA world, and particularly how they transitioned from running the Kenny Bernstein race team merchandise trailer, to this new gig, with Alexis Dejoria.

Later in the afternoon, we threw some steaks on the grill, had a nice dinner, and continued visiting until bedtime. Kurt & Phyliss will be leaving this morning, heading for Florida where they'll spend the off season. If they have this local company install an awning on their trailer, we'll see them again in late January, or early February.
