Woody, I thank you very much for the photos.  It's a rainy weekend in Michigan's upper peninsula - and you've helped bring a bit of sunshine and fun to the dreary days.  Between you - video - and Max - audio - it's darned close to being there in person.  We've got a family wedding later this month -- and that's using up the available travel time.  And -- my grandson graduates from high school tomorrow -- and I learned, in Grandpa school, that guys of my age are NOT to miss the graduation of grandsons.  So now you know why Nancy and I are here, not a Wton.  Thanks again for the photos.

Is the yellow and black coupe a modified sports car or a competition coupe?

It runs in J/FS and it's for sale! 

Glad you like the pix Slim! I'll get some more tomorrow!

Thanks woody, is the vehicle an alcohol funny car?

[racekid]

Mr. kitchen said there was a car timed at 356mph is this true? Thanks again for the pictures, anyhow anymore info on top speed for saturday would be awesome

[Stan Back]

I think Stan posted that number in jest -- and told you to contemplate it.

[racekid]

Indubitaby; I certainly mulled it over  and still decided that the aforementioned statement wasn't a droll

Hey Slim, hate to bother you but did you ever come up with a layout and a price on the plaques we discussed a few weeks ago.

No, I haven't.  I'm sorry/happy to say that we've been plenty busy at Kudos Laser -- and not only yours, but also the long-awaited Jack Dolan plaques for Bob Drury are still in the inbox of the computer.  Garrell, I hope your request is easy to find - so I can dig it out and act on it.  I know I've got Bob's saved.  Right now I'm in the process of making 500 dog tags for the "Marquette Mountain Mud Fun".  Double-sided tags - so that means 1,000 individual laserings.  I'm building a jig to hold a bunch of the tags in place - but een that's a pain in the kiester.

I'll get to it, really I will.

Back to the Wton thread, okay?

[garrell patterson]

No rush Slim, whenever you get the time. I sent you the info classes, times and names but if you can't find the info let me know and I will round it up again.

Rider overshot the end of the course, , no details, all stopped, could be awhile.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Howdy on a Sunday morning, young feller.  Is the audio on?  I get nothing up here in the great wet north. . .

[Moxnix]

Nothing coming in to go out.  Driver meeting at the starting line after the M/C crash.

[Moxnix]

Two hour delay for accident investigation.

RIP fellow rider....

[Moxnix]

I'm back to audio, rubbing two sticks together to make it work.  Honkytonkitis on the speakers, maybe a little loud.  I have no information on the incident, by choice, stayed by the timing trailer and out of the way.  It's cast a somber mood.  If, after the racing resumes, it becomes hot lapping for lack of participants, they may stop at 3.
