I missed the arse-whoop in'. I had one of my 'Chet style race nights. My GT car was bouncing off stuff everywhere and the old grey ghost ain't what she used to be in classic sports car.

Re: BRM Tuning (62 replies, posted in Cars)
If I come back from the beach to attend, leaving Diane at the beach, can I come live with you afterwards?
If you were really lucky, you might still have 1/2 a travel trailer to sleep in. Just sayin'...

A BIG THANK YOU to the Nakamura's for hosting today's Trans Am Classic. Those that participated had a great time trying to catch Bill, who was the class of the field. Although a small turnout, the racing was close and surprisingly clean. You all missed out on a fantastic taco feast that left me feeling like a siesta.
Regards,

Your inner mechanic came through, I fixed the shower handle in our motel room earlier this morning. Glad to hear surgery was a success and you are on the road to recovery.

I tried to record it but got vexed by Comcrash. I think there may be a replay tomorrow, fingers crossed.

I just want to take the time to thank Bill for my "Season in the Toilet" trophy. It means a lot to me that you took the time and effort make said trophy and it is proudly displayed in my display cabinet. It's these kind of things that make the NASTE group so great.
Thanks again

Re: Tip of the hat - The Oregon Donors take 3rd in BRM 6hr in Tacoma (5 replies, posted in NASTE)
Awesome Job! I had hoped to make it but we had Gabby's graduation party on Saturday and it didn't seem fair to let Kelly do all the clean up, so I couldn't make it. In addition, what I thought were allergies all day Saturday ending up being a cold and I was miserable all day Sunday anyway.

Re: Cars by Mitch Brooks (9 replies, posted in Cars)
A couple of thing to try regarding masking:
1.) Try putting the tape on a hard surface that you don't care about, then use a straight edge and a sharp blade to cut a new edge on the tape.
2.) Apply tape to car body in desired area and then LIGHTLY spray some clear on the area. The clear is supposed to seal the areas that will bleed.
I have used this method with better results than the stock edge of the tape, but I still suck at these types of projects.

I went to the World of Speed Museum yesterday for Fathers Day to check out the Museum and the Indy 500 Tribute. There is a lot of history represented and there is no way I could pick a favorite. Here's a few of the pics I took:

Roadster cockpit, not sure I want to know what the hot water bottle was for!

1951 Pennzoil Special driven by Mauri Rose

Janet Guthrie's Vollstedt Special

1972 Vel's Parnelli Jones driven by Al Unser

Of particular interest to us slot racers
There were many other cars that I'm not posting pics of but you can view them here:

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,192 replies, posted in NASTE)
Thanks for hosting Bill, what a great night of racing with lots of old and new faces and some great, close battles. That side by side stretch Chris and I had in F1 was awesome. Open wheels, millimeters apart, good stuff. The BRM race was more like it- banging, nerfing and crashing after the past several more gentleman like Thursday night events. I still can't believe I managed to triumph in the carnage. How often does your car end up on the floor and you still win? Too fun.
