BBQ photos.

Len & Sue Gillian, and my beautiful wife Diane talking with Jim Jones. Funny, the only photo I was able to get of Jimmy is this one. A note of interest here; "Evil Jimmy" and my dog Zoe A.K.A. The Evil One, both with their backs to the camera!

Odd Thursday on August 29th. 13 racers made it out to Fairview despite the extreme evening humidity. We first raced the Classic Sports Car Class where Greg "Greenman" Petrolati posted the win. In the GT Class Gary "Goose" Gossett killed the field with his Mr. Slotcar Mazda (no more magnet cars for you Goose!). After we had finished abusing the sports cars and GT's, Chris Kouba brought out his 1/24 scale BRM Porsche 962's for a little IROC action. Rico Locati won that race edging out "Goose" by 3/4 of a lap. All in all it was great fun last night! Thank you all for making it out!

Thank you Howie for completing this for me!!!   -------------------Bill

The repair held up and worked fine. I switched to a Ninco Porsche 997 for racing at Penguin Point as it seemed to be a superior handling car (again after rear end modifications, limited to bracing).

I'd like to thank everyone who made it out to the BBQ yesterday! We had a great turn out of 27 people and 2 little kids. There were new and current racers as well as racers from the past. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs and potato salad and coleslaw and beans and cake and cookies and candy until we were stuffed!

I do apologize for not being better prepared for the workshop. I think we need to plan some workshops for next season, with the focus on car building alone. It was obvious we needed at least two thrash tables!

The buy/sell/trade area seemed to be a hit as well (thanks Dennis for the suggestion!).

Thanks June and Dorothy for all your help and food contributions!

All in all I think it went pretty well, and I had a great time, and really enjoyed the company of all my friends!   --------------------Bill

7:20am - Well, today's the day!  Haven't done this for a few years!

I've got tools and equipment out and ready for the morning workshop.

Got burgers and hot dogs awaiting the grill.

And of course the track is ready to go!

I'm ready anytime y'all are!   ---------------------Bill
