I have kids' soccer on Saturday morning, Lemons car prep Saturday afternoon, trailer sandblasting Sunday, and I'm watching the neighbor's chickens and cat this weekend.

Be easy on him. It's hard to believe, I know, but some people have family priorities that keep them from going to rallies barely over an hour from their homes, let alone one that is at least 3 hrs one way.

I haven't been to a rally in at least a couple years…probably about the same time frame as John. I know he had tongue in cheek there. I think he needs to chill a bit and let other people blow their trust funds, but we're simpatico. At this point, I just try to get to kids games as much as possible, make enough money to pay some of the bills, run a Lemons race or two a year, and attempt to keep my shitboxes running and my house from falling apart.

Yeah yeah you know I was just parodying thosae trolls giving me shit for not going out jerking off whn I have such limited time and 2 of the sweetest 2 girls the world has ever seen which I'd perfer to spend time giggling with than looking at other people flailing around..So screw all that--the real question this is important is have you seen Shaolin Soccer by Stephen Chow? Din't you mention soccer? You have to watch this, hilarious and so true...

Ok, so sorry I didn't get to talk to any of you much, I was pretty busy, and so were you. But I did get some ok pictures!
KTurner this is you, right? 
Here's one that came out almost great... 
McGinn? 
Hille 
Here's another nice Merkur 
Rebuilt ranger kept it clean and quick 
I saw a MR2 with a hood on it like this at ESPR 2013. If this is the same one, It picked up a TON of speed. Very very fast. 
Ian Kessler in a Cavalier. Not something I've seen on a stage before 
GoPro video of a straight from far away isn't interesting... Here's someone trying to make it more so :-D 
Here is my favorite photo of the event. On day one I was at a straight where they hit the brakes right about in front of us. In the photo, the direction of travel goes from left to right. The 2 braking marks are from the 1st and 2nd placed cars. Picture really speaks a thousand words here!  Enablers, All of you. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/22/2014 02:46PM by BobOfTheFuture. |

Lantzy! I knew I saw that name before!
The last photo is just of the dirt and the braking marks in it after the first two cars went by. 2nd place hit the brakes and locked a bit about a car length sooner than 1st. So I guess that's your braking mark on the right  Enablers, All of you. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/22/2014 04:37PM by BobOfTheFuture. |
