Happy Birthday Flea!!!

Happy Birthday to the Flea. The man with the small block that does. Mr. Wilkins the engine doctor. The man that always smiles. That's right, the flea turned 40 this past Sunday. That's May the 24th so you can put it into your memory bank for next year.

This past weekend at Kinston Dragway, Sandy Wilkins reached a milestone in his life by reaching the big 4-0. He had a lot of friends come by and wish him Happy Birthday and basically give him a hard time. You will notice in one of the pictures that someone gave him an old fart hat with curly grey hair. Thank you Lisa Bingham. He also enjoyed the company of his parents this weekend since the race was so close to their Wilmington, NC home. He even had a birthday cake to share with his friends. If you look close enough in the cake pic, you will notice the end of the propane torch used to light the candles. When you do not have a lighter or matches, a torch is the next best thing.

So since it was his birthday and he was having a great weekend, Sandy probably went on to win the race. Well the fun stops here. The car ran good on Saturday and Sandy was stellar on the tree, but Sunday came and luck just wasn't on the Flea's side. Sandy was 20 on the tree and tapped the breaks to let his man back by him for a .004 margin of victory. To the house. So where does he go from here. Let me think.

In case you haven't heard, Sandy is having a 40th birthday

party/bash at his house this coming Saturday. Anybody that is anybody will be there. Of course I want be there. Something about a leg. Anyway, if you haven't let Sandy know, you better call him now. A person only turns 40 once and Sandy likes to celebrate, whether at winning or getting old. Ha

I personally want to wish Sandy a Happy Birthday and many more. Ive only known Sandy for four and half years and it seems like I have known him all 40. Thanks for the friendship Sandflea and I hope this is your best year ever.
