Revheads having a whole $hitpile of fun, it doesn't get much better than that.
When my smile would start to relax a little, along would come a 34 3-window "dually" or a limo or a crotch "rocket" or bath tub with "ape hangers".
Love the whole spirit of it, no wonder it's growing.
Hey Elwood, did you check the firing order on your toffee rocket?

Ellwood and Mark Thomas have combined efforts to send me a trio of CDroms of photos from the '13, '12, and '11 SpeedWeekend on Ice.  I just looked at the photos from the '13 event -- and they're pretty danged fun to see.  Goofy stuff, serious race vehicles, the most massively-studded tires you'll see -- and on and on.

There are so many photos that I'm going to put them into the photo gallery.  it'll be a few days 'til they're up there, but I'll let you know when the project is done.  There must be a few hundred -- and if you're anything like me and most of the other LSR folks -- you'll want to see them.  Stay tuned -- and Thank Mark Thomas for his photo work.  He's a Brit that's been going to Sweden for the event for at least three years.  They keep trying to get Nancy and me over there, too.  I wonder if we'll go. . .

In my last post here I mentioned the photos from Mark Thomas.  Well -- he sent me a handful of DVDs full of photos.  In fact -- it's about 2,600 of 'em!!!!  With that many I've forwarded the discs to Bob Clancy and he'll get them up on the photo gallery as soon as he can.  He's got a rapid bulk uploader.  You oughta be able to see 'em soon.

And then -- there's this that came in just this afternoon from Glenn Ocklund:
