Hello race fans - Jason here. We just arrived in St Louis after an all night drive from des moines. I took the 4-6am driving shift, but I don't really remember much. I guess meatloaf was on auto pilot. That's right he's rolling. We are still tweaking and adjusting, but It looks like he lived. we still have to roll him into the shop every time we get home to fix some leaks and turn some screws, but for the most part he is rolling down the road. I will be fulfilling our end of the deal for those of you that contributed to http://www.savemeatloaf.com in the next few weeks. Thanks to you all!

We are in St Louis for the next 2 days filming 4 future episodes for the show Pinks on the speed channel. I am addicted to this show, and it isn't just because they use our music. This is my one cable reality tv guilty pleasure. It is dramatic, thrilling, enthralling reality television. Now we get to play on the show. Come on out to the track tonight or tomorrow for some music and some racing. . . . http://www.gatewayraceway.com/ < http://www.gatewayraceway.com/ > The schedule will be erratic, but it will be a good time both nights.

Okay . . . . don't laugh, but I plan on resurrecting the blog starting this week. Yes, I realize that last entry on the blog is from march or something talking about how it is back and alive and then it was dead again for months. Sorry. But I will do my best. Now we have some things to talk about.

Superman loves the Nadas! no kidding, can you have a better endorsement than superman? I think Kyle Munson, music critic from the des moines register pondered it aloud best when he said " So is Superman’s iPod something like 10 million gigabytes and indestructible? Can he listen to music cranked all the way up and not suffer hearing loss? That WOULD make Superman the ultimate rock fan." read on here . . . . http://blogs.dmregister.com/?p=1838#more-1838

We will round out the week at a new venue in the quad cities called the Red Stone Room. We are very excited to see this place we have been hearing such good things about. Don't worry we still love RIBCO and I'm sure we will be back in the future, we just thought we would see what it was like on the other side of the river. Come out, bring a friend. It is very scary the first time you play a new venue. We bite our nails wondering if anyone will show up. Please help us pack the place.

Saturday takes us to Okoboji, IA for a free show on the arnold park green space. This has become somewhat of an annual show for us. Last year there were over 3000 people there. It is a great time and an incredible time to visit the lakes. After our show, we will be joining our colleagues Towncrier and the Josh Davis Band at Whiskey Dicks. Hold on to your hat. (I was just saying that to express that it was going to be a party, and then I remembered that last year while racing across the lake to catch a towncrier show at whiskey dicks I lost my favorite trucker cap from the ferris truck stop in faucet MO.)

Love and Lose the race you lose your ride,

The Nadas
