Obsessed is the word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

I thought I was going to need to "borrow" Duran's F1 car, to clone one for Mr. Dynamic...
Not necessary... Keith's photos tell all!
Great job, Mr. Tanaka!

Hey Keith! What a great guy you are! We had several conversations through-out the week-end and all were enjoyable. Your reports are the best. I want to give thanks to every-one who made my week-end the the best, including Forrest. Roger and Sano Dave pitted next to me and were the source of some great stories. Also jonathan and his dad Steve pitted behind me and were some of the best people around. t was also great to see all these old-gentlemen including my-self enjoying them-selves so deeply. Gus

I have to say this F1 race was a great learning experience for me, I think I raced on it three or fourth times and I think my personal best was 281 laps, I'm
happy with that.
Good racers all the week and excellent show but I feel like a deflated tire right know?
I hope that there is going to be more like this in the future? Ron K.
thanks once again for helping me out during the race and that's Zombie brotherhood for ya. 
Ready for some more action now.

In this bright future you can't forget your past.
BMW (Bob Marley and the Wailers)
United we stand and divided we fall, the Legends are complete.
I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.
Pistol Pete you will always be in my memory.

Just got back home around 6:30 pm. I spent most of the day at the Los Angeles Slotcar Museum (Scott Bader's museum).
Howie Ursaner, Terry Schmid, Sano Dave, PdL, and myself were there to view the great slot car collection in the museum.
It was the first time ever for Howie and Terry to see the museum.
Dokk gave his usual in-depth tour of the museum along with Scott. Howie and Terry were very surprised to see not only the quantity of slot cars in the collection, but the "quality" of the cars. We also had a tour of Scott's 1/1 collection of race cars and street cars.
Hopefully sometime this week I will post on Phanfare photos and videos of the museum tour. If you haven't been to the museum (by invitation only), the Phanfare report will give you an idea of what it's like.
I'll be working on the Checkpoint Jail Door race report tonight and hope to post it late tonight or tomorrow.
