Street Drags, Amarillo,Texas

This past Friday night Adams Air was the purse spinor for F/X Motor Sports Street Car Series of drag races.  Lots of local talent trying to show who the boss is.  We had three winners.

 

The Round Robin winner was Jon ‘FAST’ Brown, with his killer Mustang. Jon has one a purse before and he is a great driver and sport.   Brian Weidner had his brand new Dodge Challenger in Sublime Green, an original Dodge color from back in the ’60’s.  He won Modified at 109MPH.  Finally we had a Mustang Cobra out here with a great driver named Wes Rogers.  Wes got through all competition and won the Open Modified catagory.  Congratulations to all of our winners and to all the drivers that come out and race.  Thanks for coming out and doing it legal!  Thanks so much for your support.  Thank you to the fine men and women out at F/X Motor Sports for sponsoring this great event.  And of course thanks to the infamous Amarillo Dragway for staging the event!

10 Ways to Stay Cooler in This Hot Summer

1-Drink plenty of cool water. During summer, you sweat more, and you have to replenish the water in your body. So drink a nice cold glass of water, and keep a bottle with you always. A tip to stay more cool is fill up a water bottle and put in the freezer for 30 min to an hour, and freeze another to take outdoors and the “iced-water” will last much longer. Don’t risk dehydration. Also if you want a treat drink some water with lemon squeezed in but don’t eat too much sugar!

2-Turn off unnecessary lights, TV, oven, etc. During the day, keep off the majority of your lights, since they produce energy and heat!

3-Shower or bathe frequently in mildly warm, or cold water to stay refreshed.

4-Sleep with a sheet when you go to bed, and have a fan directed toward you. You can also dampen your sheets in water and the air blowing from the fan will make you feel refreshed, until it all evaporates.
5-If you have an air conditioner, turn it on. Keep the air filter clean to avoid clogging or fungus may grow there. For the best results, close the doors to the rooms that have the air conditioning on. This will trap the cool air in the room, keeping you cooled down.
Make sure the setting on the AC is on “high” to move the air through faster and farther. This is not the “colder-to-warmer” settings. That uses very little additional power, but may make a louder “shushing” air sound.

6-Use a portable fan set at the desired setting to keep you at your own comfort zone, too.

7-Alter your pattern of outdoor exercise to take advantage of cooler times (early morning or late evening). If you can’t change the time of your workout, scale it down by doing fewer minutes, walking instead or running, or decreasing your level of exertion.

8-Keep plastic bottles of water in the freezer; grab one when you’re ready to go outside. As the ice melts, you’ll have a supply of cold water with you.

9-Fill a spray bottle with water. Keep it in the refrigerator for a quick refreshing spray to your face after being outdoors.

10-Look for inside activities to do. If you don’t have air-conditioning, arrange to spend at least parts of the day in a shopping mall, public library, movie theater, or other public space that is cool. Many cities have cooling centers that are open to the public on sweltering days.

 

  Use common sense. If the heat is intolerable, stay indoors when you can and avoid activities in direct sunlight or on hot asphalt surfaces. Pay special attention to the elderly, infants, and anyone with a chronic illness, as they may dehydrate easily and be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses. Don’t forget that pets also need protection from dehydration and heat-related illnesses too.

Summer Fun at the 4th of July Parade

  Well by now we have our wonderful and fun stories of the 2015 edition of July 4th!  All of us at Adam’s Air had great fun.  It started early in the morning of the 4th.  We were going to be in the 4th of July Parade in Canyon, Texas.  We love to particpate in this parade.  The Canyon people and the ones in charge of the parade are so friendly and willing to help with anything they can.  We got to the assigned parking lot and decked out one of our fleet trucks and trailer.      This sign on the trailer was special because most of these men and women were folks form Amarillo, and Canyon and some were family members.  We wanted to support and honor these fine people for sacrificing their time and family and sometimes themselves for this great country we live in.  We were going all out with Old Glory, all the flags of our armed services and paying tribute to the men and marines who placed the flag at Iwo Jima.  With our ideas and efforts we got second place with our float and ideas.  Thank you to the judges of the parade!  A HUGE thanks goes to the citizens of Canyon and everyone who drove in from the surrounding communities to take part or to watch the parade.  Thank you also to all the folks who told us,”Nice job”, and “Thanks for doing what we did to commemorate our troops from the past and present,
