Please note that the Constructor's points in the report are in error. I didn't change the totals in this report and they should be as follows:



I fired the Editor.

[John Streisguth]

Should take him out to the woodshed...LOL

What's that stuff on Edsel's stock car pans? Kitchen sponges???

[Noose]

LOL..yeah I busted him about hs new dampening method. Told him only Tony P official orange was allowed.

Guys my apoligies. The editor has been fired. Apparently in doing some merging and pasting things, the orginal report got a bit screwed up so the link above is the corrected report.

Here it is too so you can see the corrected version.

Great report Joe!!!! Both tracks were in great shape and that made for very close racing for sure. Thanks to Ken and crew for the hospitality!!!

[Noose]

Thanks Mike. Yanno I do these reports so all the guys can show their wives and girlfriends or both that they were really there. LMAO

I laugh. When I was a Serious Maritime History Guy (we were too snobby to call ourselves "modelers") we'd go to this one-a-year conference of the Nautical Research Guild, always in exotic locations like Newport News or Boston, all veddy sofistickated you know--and these guys who otherwise never emerged from their basements would bring their spouses to these big do's; I always suspected (I who vainly believed I, alone, Had A Life) they'd drag their wives to these reception banquets just so they could silently demonstrate: "See, Honey? THESE guys all think I'm VALID..."

Mike your so right..my wife cannot believe we do this for little plaques..after i fannally got my "first" plaque at the brawl i was so proud of it i almost starred at it on the seat beside me all the way home..lol So when i get in the house i really yelled I FINNALLY WON A FRIGGIN RACE! she was sorta happy but it didnt register the way i hoped it would.She just dont "GET IT" I honestly do not believe that most all the people that never done this can fathom how hard it is to win one of these retro races,,,at any level..there is so much competition that every rae there are a dozen guys that "can"win..At least she knows now im really at the races after showing my pic on internet.
