Well, folks, got everything finished up for this running of the R4. How about you guys, are you ready?

Bringing two F1s and two Can-Ams.

Oops, forgot I still have to pick a driver. This could be a tough decision, might have to ask my friend Larry for his half-baked opinion on this one. LOL !

Yo Bob,

I'll be there. If for no other reason but to spread, as Ron said, hate and discontent... :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Bob, those are some sick-looking drivers, although I think you tried to stay inside the lines, so to speak. Have you ever mounted one to a 78 rpm turntable, and dribbled paint onto it? That produces some interesting effects, as well.

No, I'm not ready yet. Chassis are done, bodies are painted, just need to combine the two. Oooh, and I have to paint a driver as well. I might need to borrow one, Bob.

I am not a doctor, but I played one as a child with the girl next door.

Hmmm... Very Van Goghish... especially the one on the left that seems to have "chopped" something off. :laugh2:

Mike,

I can find a 78 rpm turntable but the owner will crucify me if I use it for painting. :laugh2: I wonder if a 33-1/3 or 45 rpm turn table will work? Too late to try it for this race. This is retro, why not a little paint jobs from some '60s art.

See you at the track.
