There will be a new post on target550.com on Thursday.
The fotos will be by Ray the Rat.
Now I am as curious as is everyone else regarding his post. I'll meet you at the site.

I'm as curious as Freud is. I have no idea what I'm gonna post...well, photos, maybe, but that's about as far as I've gotten. I'll just make something up.  |

Well, the "Rat's eye view" photos are on the server. http://www.target550.com/index.html It's the bottom link and it leads to a group of shots I got as I wandered around Hume's shop while he and Freud chatted. There were some things that jumped out at the camera and my eye, so it's a little different from the single topic updates that Freud's been doing. I hope it provides some insight into what it looks like when seen from the eye (and camera lens) of a rat, and maybe showing some stuff that might not have been pointed out previously. Hope ya like 'em, |

Ray,
Thanks for your perspective of the shop. I love that Logan Lathe.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Huh? This is what the page says:
Next Update: February 25
Current Post: February 18, 2010: Current Picture Gallery
I know I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but did I overlook something that's painfully obvious to others?

Thanks, Tom. You and Sparky are absolutely right. I had the wrong date there. Duh.
That's what I meant by overlooking something that was painfully obvious to others. Maybe it had something to do with finishing that part up at 2 am or so.
Thanks again to both for the catch.

Ray..take a pill and relax.
I've done a Google Earth and I have a Predator on it's way to silence the source.
Get your ear plugs ready.
Sparky will be an apt description of the event.
