My memory is not so great, some of you I met at Maxton a couple of times last year and the volunteers I got to know especially the starting line crew and I communicate with some of you. Some names that are used on the forum I cannot place with a car. What cars and owner/drivers won the Top Speed Challenge and approximate speeds. Did the 59 Jag break the 200 mph mark he has chased so long. I had read the article in Hot Rod a year or two ago and I know how close he has come and about the mechanical failures he has had and I visited with him on Friday as well as the Geezer crew and had communicated with Mr. Turner during the winter but I don't know what kind of speed they ran. I visited with Mr. Venable and know he fell a little short of completing the first leg of his trifecta but I bet he gets it in June. Met and talked with lots of others, the guys from Cape Cod with the super nice 79 Camaro, the gentleman with the fast red Mazda that had chute problems on his first run and Dave Grey with th 56 Corvette, he and I belong to a Corvette forum, but others I can't put cars with names and did not hear how fast anyone ran because I sat in the truck all day Saturday.
One other thing, someone suggested I bring a camera and take lots of pictures in a thread over the winter. I have lots of Maxton pictures but my Wife got me a pretty good little digital camera and I had a 4gb card in it. I took a lot of shots on Friday and some cars I would take two of at just a little different angle, then on Saturday my Guys had the camera all day and took pictures of me and everyone else. A couple of days ago my Sister took the card to a drug store in town and I told her to make double prints. I didn't purge the pictures so now I have between 500 and 600 pictures, some of your cars twenty times!
