Wilmington June Picture Post
« on: June 03, 2015, 07:15:58 AM »
This is the usual place holder for pics from Wilmington this weekend.

I'll be driving up to Wilmington tomorrow, taking pics Friday, Saturday and Sunday and will post the links in this thread.

Also, anyone who has pics, please feel free to post here!

In case you didn't hear/read it, we've now got a permanent place on the home page of the website for a direct link to Meridix - the site that does our streaming.  Said link is ALSO posted near the top of the Forum home page.  If you want the folks back at home to hear the stream (relatives, neighbors, sponsors, whomever) all they need to do is click on either link and have at it.

Also I'll remind you that Meridix also records and saves all of the audio (archives it) and it can be accessed any ol' time.  You can listen when you get home, you can find your runs a month or four later.  Go to the landracing.com page of Meridix and select the archives and then you'll be ready to follow through to the date you're seeking.

Thanks to the firm that has offered to contribute some $$ to help us keep the streaming going.  As soon as I get permission I'll tell you who it is.  But for now -- thanks, Brian.

Does Congress know about this?

Well, umn, unh, mmm -- --- I think they don't officially know but they do talk about whether or not they should investigate and then do something.  If the files were on a serparate server there'd be no problem, of course. :evil:

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather here today for tech inspection.
Very good turnout for this meet! I heard the entry count is around 100.
Talked with many old friends and met quite a few new ones.....Always a good time for me.

Here is my Google+ link to some of today's bikes and cars:

Gregg, we keep really enjoying your pictures but it would be even neater if you didn't get to take many at some point because you were too busy running your truck. How's it coming?  :-D :-D :-D

Oh, S U R E !

I skip June, and a real Mini shows up, along with a Studebaker Lark wagon!

There is simply nothing like this in any other form of motorsport.

Have fun, Gregg!

PJ,
It's SO ironic asking about my truck at this time.
Bill Warner's death, back in 07/13, had a profound effect on me and made me take a HARD look at my own mortality.
For the last almost 2 years, when I would I to the garage to work on it, I found that I could not.
Only within the past couple of months could I talk about or even have the desire to work on it but I am back on it.
I feel that doing the pictures and audio has been my contribution to the sport and I REALLY do enjoy doing it!
Enough of a downer.....SORRY!

So to answer your question, I have been working on it and hope to have it off the rotisserie by the end of the month and get that back to Steve. My last major $$$$ is the transmission and hope to have that by the end of the month also.
I would like to have here in September but May 2016 is more realistic.
At least I am working on it again!

Thanks for asking,
Gregg

I knew you would like the Wagon as you have made comments before about the Avanti/Stude car hauler!



I took this pic of the Mini especially for you:
