Remember that thread a while back asking where all the younger racers were going to come from?

If said person had scrolled down to the Upcoming Birthdays, they might have noticed at the time that there was a 20's something and 70's something on the page. (at this moment, the spread is just 29 and 67.)

Happy birthday to all and great work on being ambassadors to the sport to the next generation.   :cheers:

Hey Dad,

How about posting that picture of you and me at Elmo, when I was really little?

Here ya go kid...... you were about 4 years old.



This one is when we were helping the Kugels with the roadster. Ryan is in the drivers seat waving and Kevin is standing on the trailer. This was around 1995, so Kevin would be 9 and Ryan 12 or so.

KIDS of all ages might enjoy that from time to time--

Mkilger, never mess with the old guy that has control of the MIC. They have ways to get even with the entire crowd listening. Yelling comes from having kids. Training them under the old ways is no longer PC. I was told the board of education across their butts was the fastest way to their young brains. :evil:

there now and look forward to Bonneville every year. I have a 17 yr old eager to make a few passes also.
