Glad to find you all
Hi all...
I've been a Tony fan since the mid 1990s when he was driving Indy cars and followed him to NASCAR. I'm so glad I did. And I'd like to thank Kopterdoctor for letting me know about this group.
Not sure what else to say other than I live in North Carolina about an hour and a half from the SHR shop, an hour from Charlotte Motor Speedway and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. I've been to the All-Star or Coke 600 (or both some years) for the last 8 years with my husband the Denny Hamlin fan. It was okay before Tony left to form SHR, but now you should hear us screaming during the race...lol
Other than that...I'm a semi-retired professional costume designer and seamstress for movies, theater, museums and historic re-enactors, a full time college student going for my BA in US history, and dang near older than dirt.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
I'll post some pictures of what I've done as soon as I find the disk they're on. Had to replace my laptop about a month ago and haven't gotten everything loaded back on.

Re: Glad to find you all
Welcome.....I am from North Carolina too....I am a fiber artist and quilter...too! And as the rest of this group can tell you Tony is my driver and he can do no wrong......I have been to Charlotte to most of the races, but in my heart it is not a race unless Tony is in it.... :s_yes Lately it is hard to get excited about racing.....it's just not the same.... We have a Garage Gang game, come and join us....

Hi Annalee,
What kind of fiber arts do you? Beyond sewing and needlework, I spin sheep wool, Alpaca, and Llama when I can afford it and weave when I feel like losing an entire room to my loom that is...lol Thankfully my wheel doesn't take up anywhere near as much space so I spin yarn to crochet with. I never got into quilting, mostly because believe it or not, I don't have the patience for it! Too many straight lines, I guess.
I hear you about the races being boring now. I'm trying to become a Clint fan, and there's a corner of my heart reserved for Kevin, but I'm just not into the races anymore. I keep trying every weekend, though. Maybe if Clint or Kevin decide to adopt Tony's attitude it'll get better.

Re: Glad to find you all
I dye and over dye fabric to get the color and or design it need....And then like my husband says I take a perfectly good piece of fabric and cut it up, only to sew it back together... :s_rofl I have never woven fabric, but it sounds wonderful...I am allergic to wool and most other animal hair, but love the way it looks...I teach quilting, applique and Hawaiian Quilting...It started out as a hobby, that has become an obsession... :s_biggrin I have to do something withncnascarlady wrote:Hi Annalee,

fabric everyday or my day is not complete.......
I too love Tony not only for his talent, but mostly his wit and personality.....There is NO ONE, that can compare to it now...My hopes are riding on Keelan Harvick, he has the genes and his quick wit remind me so much of "Uncle Moke"...
Welcome to the website ......there are some really nice people on here.. :s_wink
