Re: Ron Capps' Blog - Post Norwalk

I'm not familiar with the Grizzly Bear Resort here in Washinton that he mentioned, but having grown up in that area I am very familiar with Coeur d’Alene Lake. It's a beautiful area and a great place to get away for a few days to recharge the batteries.

That is freaking awesome.

The phone geek in me (I'm a mod on a cell phone forum heh) wants to know what phone Capps has now that he was using for this blog. I remember when I first met him in 2004 sitting in his trailer at Pacific Raceways and his phone rang. That was the first NHRA race I covered and basically the guy was teaching me the basics of the sport and all I wanted to do was please my inner phone geek and ask him about that Toshiba VM 4050 he was using.

I have a BlackBerry Curve and I think I'd shoot myself typing out a blog on that ... then again if I had two hours to kill waiting to ride a roller coaster I would probably whip out my cell phone, too.

Re: Ron Capps' Blog - Post Norwalk

I had that same Toshiba phone and loved it! It died though. Now, I'm a big ole geek too, Kris.....have a Rumor with the slide out qwerty keyboard. I am totally spoiled and don't think I could ever go back to texting on a regular keypad.

Re: Ron Capps' Blog - Post Norwalk

That is a massive roadtrip!
Well, I have a racing wish: To see the NAPA car get a win, in person.
Still lots of racing left, so I am hoping for a last half steady climb to the top.
JFR, Wilk, and TPed look very strong.

Hey, that picture looks familiar. I'm sure I was nearby. I was probably texting Kelly. Gee, now that picture really makes me miss The Strip at LVMS. Hmmm, about 4 more months?

If i'm think as the same as you, i rode it a handful or years ago or so. Uses an aircraft carrier style catapult launch with liek a 2 second 0-60?

That was something else.

Re: Ron Capps' Blog - Post Norwalk

Oh, Kelly, you need to come to my other board where I'm a mod ... I'll PM you the link because it's a site dedicated to your carrier. I no longer have Sprint but it just cracked me up to see Ron with that Toshiba because I had a Sanyo VM4500. When I bought the Sanyo I stood in that Sprint store for an hour going back and forth between it and the Toshiba.

Texting! Oh man, do I text ... last month I did about 3,000 texts and the month before it was 4,700. That's the whole reason I got the BlackBerry, for the full keyboard! Seems like texting has gotten popular with the drivers, too, I know a few have mentioned it during top end interviews.

Maybe Ron will see this and tell us what phone he's using now to satisfy the phone geeks/drag racing fans.
