2009 Year in Review Dec 28, 2009 by Clay Millican
While every year is full of ups and downs, I just think of this one as a very busy year. Normally I would write a story of the highs and lows, but there has been so much going on I thought I would let events from my calendar tell you the story of this past year.
January 18, 2009 a very old back injury flared up so bad that I actually passed out while brushing my teeth.
January 27, 2009 Just what I wanted to do 10 days before Pomona…have back surgery.
January 30, 2009 - Filmed some things at the race shop for the show I host on SPEED Channel "Drag Race High." I do not think they were able to use much of it due to all the medication I was on following the back surgery.
February 4-9, 2009 - NHRA - Pomona, California. Five straight days of rain in not so Sunny California. One qualifying run and a DNQ, not the way to start the season.
February 18, 2009 - The 18th was a big day for me. After lots of work and traveling to the San Diego area, the season premiere of "Drag Race High" was broadcast on "SPEED."
February 18-23, 2009 - NHRA - Phoenix, Arizona. Qualified 10th and lost to Shawn Langdon first round.
February 27-March 1, 2009 - Belle Rose, Louisiana. SPEED Channel gave me the opportunity to be a technical advisor on their hit show "PINKS ALL OUT." What a great show and a great opportunity. It was cold in Belle Rose, but a lot of fun being a part of such a huge show.
