Hey, Greg! What about the box tour from the Brawl?

[Cheater]

Dennis, I haven’t forgotten. Got home very late Monday and wasted half a day Tuesday getting rid of Jay and doing some laundry. And I have worked basically three and a half days at the museum starting Wednesday morning. Posting this from the gatehouse while eating my lunch... Santa arrived via train today and it’s one of our busiest days of the year.

By the end of the weekend, I promise!

[Racer36]

One would almost think you have a life outside of slot racing! LOL.

[Half Fast]

To our passengers from your tour guide:
 
I regret to inform you that our bus box tour has been postponed as our bus box broke down between NJ and Georgia; please be patient.
 
Cheers,

[Bill from NH]

Did all the employees have to dress up as an elf?  

[Pappy]

Cheater dressed up like an elf... that's an image I'll never be able to forget. 

[Cheater]

I'll post a picture later...

[DOCinCanton]

I want to see this! Or maybe not.

[Cheater]

OK, I'm finally starting to go through my pics to sort out the pit box photos. I know I won't be able to ID every pit, so if you know whose box an unindentfied is, chime in to tell me.

[Cheater]

 

 

Dennis Dominey's two-stacker set-up.

 

 

This is Rich Theisen's pit, which the racer to his right reserved before Rich's arrival with a piece of green tape labeled "The legend of Long Island." I told Rich it wasn't correct and that 'myth' would have been a more accurate word.

 

 

This is Greg Fox's pit.

 

 

 

Doc Dougherty's well-used slot car box.

 

 

Pretty sure this is Hip Culy's pit, early in the event. It got a lot less neat as the days went on...

 

 

Brian 'X-Pro' Cochrane's box.

 

 

Gary Clinton Jr.'s box. The outside of this box has some great graphics which Gary wanted me to show. It has a completely different color scheme, as shown below.

 

I think this is BIll Gerhart's well-organized space.

[Cheater]

 
Vinny Cafazzo's pit box.
 

 
Dom Luongo's box.
 

 

 
Not to hard to know this is Tom Adam's space and box.
 


Another no-brainer: Eddie 'Edsel' Sohl's space.
 

 
This nice box belongs to Keith LIbby.
 

 
Mark Lawshe's unqiue slot car box.
 

 
Pretty certain this is Duran Trujillo's compact box.
 

 
One of the California guys, who all pitted together. Dale Yamashita, perhaps?
 

 
Another California racer, Bill Vanderziel, the senior member of the racers at the Brawl.

[Cheater]

 

 

 

Tom Hansen pitted out of the way in the corner, next to...

 

 

Howie Uranser. They were the closest racers to the men's room.

 

 

Anyone attending a Retro race with Jimmy Williams in the house will almost certainly recognize his awesome 'Tower of Tires' box.

 

 

Jon Madtes' pit and box.

 

 

Carmen Veneziale choose a corner for his pit space, too.

 

 

 

This pit box belongs to Doug Murphey.

[Cheater]

 

 

 

Fall Brawl 2019 overall champion Jerry Herbert's pit space.

Greg,

You're the best!!!

Great work!!!

Thank you.

[Racer36]

The Cali racer with the purple cars is Bill Vanderziel.

[Dominator]

Wow, I need to talk to my house keeper, what a mess I had LOL.

[Racer36]

That was before the mess happened!

[S.O. Watt]

Technically DZ was the closest to the bathrooms.

[Cheater]

I dunno about that... maybe closest to the door, but you guys were just on the other side of the bathroom wall.

Probably a good thing that DZ had a short commute to the door, though...

[S.O. Watt]

Last I checked, I can’t walk through walls.

[Racer36]

Technically DZ was the closest to the bathrooms.

 

Very appropriate given his reputation!

[Danny Zona]

I'm not one to use the bathroom at the track. It's better to hold it in so the gas has the proper marinating process before it comes out the relief valve.

[Racer36]

Thanks for the technical details that lead to the melting of nose hair.

Much appreciated!
