Noose,
Great race report as usual.
It looked like a terrific event with obviously an All-Star crowd
of speedy racers.
Hopefully things will be more stable around here and I can make
next years race.
I loved the track when it was in Bedford.
It's fast, but IMHO, not too fast.

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.

I had planned on making the trip out, but I was layed off from my job. Went to the Lake of the Ozarks two weekends before with my wife. Couldn't afford to make two trips that close together. Besides my wife offer was better than a sitting in the parking lot in a motor home LOL Maybe next year?

Hey Barney, I was the recipient of one of the F1 body mounting fixtures. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for supporting the event.
Your welcome John, I think you will like the solder as well.
Ace Photo/ Reporter Bill Fulmer you did a great job on the photos as well ..... you and our Ace reporter Keith Tanaka have a great eye and do such a good job to document all the racing!

Great race report...
Had a good time, and actually didn't race too badly... all things considered.
Was terrible on that track the first time we raced there back in November, so I felt it owed me something...
Nice touching base with old friends, and finally getting to meet folks like Like Roger, John S. and Vinny.

I wish I could have been there to race with you guys. I haven't seen Howie since 1972! I know that Roger must have been thrilled to race him again and was well up to the task. Great racing!

Hey Fred, Too bad your not living in NJ any more. You missed one hell of a race. I really enjoyed myself. seeing Howie again was something special for me.
Hope all is well with you and the family. Are you running any Retro stuff yet ? Please don't tell me you got back into those wing things again.
WE will all be racing up at Port Jeff on JUly 10th, That should also be good there................Roger
