Topic: Who will be supporting the Scuderia at the derby this year?

Please let me know if you will be on the hill this year for the derby to help out the team.  We made shirts again and I want to make sure we have enough of them on the hill for everyone who will be helping out.  So far, I have:

Bill
Jeff
Jenny
Beau
Al
Dennis
Dick

Also, we are doing breakfast at Denny's between Stark and Washington before the event.  We'll need to be on the hill fairly early, which makes the rally time at Denny's even earlier.  We did 0515 last year and it seemed to work, so let's shoot for that again.

Please let me know if you'll be on the hill with us for race day.

Thanks in advance!!!

Chris

Wish I could be there! In keeping with the theatrical tradition in which I dealt for most of my life...break an axle! (You don't ever say "good luck" or mention the Scottish play...)

Chris won it again, Jenny was third and Wild Bill was on his lid after hitting the hay bales.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: Who will be supporting the Scuderia at the derby this year?

There are snippets of the team here:

https://www.oregonlive.com/expo/news/er … for-2.html

I have very few pics as we were busy. Bill did end up on his side, he's OK and managed to complete his run but the car was bent.  Jeff straightened it out a bit and took a cautionary run down the hill but still had a bit of instability to it so we retired it.

TECHNICALLY Boss, I was upside down as evidenced by this video and my inability to see anything but sky:

Great job guys.
Bill if you were aiming for that post, you missed it by a good foot and a half. At least with the soft parts.

Qualy round #2, the rear facing cam to see the push (and the rest of the competition fade away):

There were some battery issues...  Unfortunately not much other interesting footage.
