I had to miss out because Dominic had two football games Thursday. JV at Sunset, a 12-6 win and a TD. Followed by a Varsity game at Aloha where he could only play one quarter. Game was a total blow 70-0. Due to running clock only got one touch but made the most out of it by going 40 yards for a TD.
Good news for me- no games this Thursday, so I can come out and race.

Very sorry to hear this news. I personally have always felt very welcomed at Springwater and the the local racing community in general.

Thank you Bob for hosting today. I really enjoyed the race today and mostly survived the misadventures inflicted upon myself.

Bill's latest round of posting his impressive and unmatched collection has got me thinking we all should post our rare, unusual or favorite slot cars for documentation purposes and just for the fun of it. Taking Bill's lead, I will go first. I cannot match his knowledge or collection size.  The following are some of my more rare and unusual cars in no particular order.

Older and well used MRRC Gurney Eagle with what I believe to be a Monogram chassis

Same here

Looking ahead, the calendar has a race scheduled at Al's on July 6th.  Is this correct? Understand I have no problem with it, but it is out of the norm.  If correct, I will be looking forward to it since I have to miss this week's race due to our 38th anniversary. smile

Eventually, you will cave. We just need to keep the pressure up

Glad to hear you are getting over it, see ya next time

All good suggestions in my opinion.

This coming Thursday is the 1st but I see nothing on the calendar. Are we taking a break or just an oversight?

Thanks for the write up Doc. I'm pushing to include DTM as a points class next season ;-)  Bad luck indeed on the guide wire.  Thanks for the help on the '69 it's much better now that the chassis is not trying to separate itself.

I wanted to go but just couldn’t swing it this time, maybe the next one

Thanks Howie,

It was an enjoyable celebration and a fitting tribute to Beau. I also need to thank my pit crew for the race as my car performed flawlessly.

Thanks Howie, it was an enjoyable season and one of steady improvement for some of us
