There we sat, Nancy and I, about to dig into our breakfast - and who walks in but the Famed (note the capital letter) Dr. G?  Walks to our table, chats at/with us for a few minutes, and then up and leaves for even fairer tablemates (so he says, I doubt he could do much better).  Thanks for the visit, James, and we won't tell the rest of your countrymen what you told us about them :roll:.

Dr. G gave me an upside down tour of Bonneville and then we had lunch.

I still need more than an hour to get my Friday post done and then I must

get it to Ray to be posted. So be patient. It was a heavy day. The car was taken out

of the trailer and parked under the tent but not lowered to the ground. At least

some people saw it to their amazement.  It will be on display after the drivers meeting

on Saturday.

So do your Saturday chores and check back. I'll try to have another post in the next few days.

Gogs, the engine block is at Slim's pit, either in the trailer or the back of my vehicle.  Plus a package from M. Midget that you might do well to pick up ASAP and the block any time.
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

BIG thanks to Chris, Max and Gogs for making this (block thing) happen, I really do wish I was there to help you enjoy speedweek even more!

Hadn't bothered you guys before now, as Max has been flat out with the (excellent) webcast, top work Max!

Has Marilyn been down the Bonneville salt yet?

Many thanks  :cheers:

Should any of our Down Under brethren caught this morning's pre racing prep, they may have recognized the music of Dr. Goggles, his self same self.  He having donated a CD to the audio library for which we are grateful.

Said music was previewed three times in the mobile studio yesterday evening, once at high volume as the studio rolled down the main drag through West Wendover from Smith's parking lot.  If God made better music than Goggles and Milwaukee Midget's to play  on the salt flats, he kept it for himself.  Muchly appreciated . . .

For some time I have been wondering..........is it just me or are there a high proportion of profesional musicians who also do L.S.R.  ???
Roll call if you fit this description please?   :cheers:

Define professional musician.

Ah HA!  Gotcha on THAT one!

But if you were to do a venn diagram of "players" and "racers", I suspect you'd find the intersecting set would be about the mode or mean of any other pair of oddball subcultures.
