Joe:
Thanks for getting me to look back and relax and re-read. Sure enough -- what I said isn't what I meant to say. Isn't your mindreading machine working right today?
Sorry for the mis-statement. Yes -- the Salt Talks gathering was (evidently) begun as purely a get-together, but since that was before my time with land speed racing, and since when Nancy and I started attending -- fund raising was an important part of the affair -- I made a statement implying that how it was eight (or so) years ago was probably how it had been from Day One. I apologise for any inconvenience I've caused, or any righteous indignation that I don't know all of the history correctly.
Back to work -- only six days 'til we leave home for Bub's.

Truth be known, GUS took in money at NO COST to Landracing.com. He was my guiding light. He headed me in the correct direction and
informed me that I did to the French exactly what the Limeys would endorse.
I threw them a salted peanut to sooth their unknowing souls.
Great guidance, GUS. You'se is a Good Boy.

 Don, it was good meeting you and Gus also. Next year we have to do something out of the ordinary so we can get more tickets sold than Freud! Maybe the Monster girls selling tickets for us or something? C U soon. Crow. Crow, Great idea, and if the Monster girls are not available maybe some of the girls from Wells would be willing. What Lynda doesn't know won't hurt her. Tanks, Don |

He was a fast learner.
The pawnbroker wanted to hire him away from me.
No way.
He's a keeper.

I'll check with Nancy and see if he can assist her at the B'ville NW Reunion with the 50/50.
Can anyone imagine the impact that would generate on his Work Experience Resume?
SSS can go to Home Depot and pick up a worker for his partner.

Jon.............Nancy.......... i think its almost unfathomable.......to realize the energy needed to keep landracing.com going and COVER the sport adequately.......... ie.its an exhausting job for any of us to get to the salt....... ...... Joe Kinda makes you wonder how your brother Jon reported a dozen times a day, posted pictures, investigated and reported who was in impound at the end of the day, posted record run results and raced his bike...  The little Subaru was a ball of energy...  or he drinks too many monsters and coffee.... |

Stainless, you've spent quite a bit of time with JA -- so you probably know just how many Monsters or coffees he drinks. I remember a few years back -- before we had any kind of fast internet access out there -- that Jonathon visited our room at the Econo Lodge one night so he could use dial-up service to upload that days' photo album.
Yes, I wonder, too, where he got the energy reserves, or how he was driven to do all the stuff he did. I can't pretend to do as much -- will offer most any excuse I can dig up. I can, though, try to provide the website with good and entertaining information so that it can continue to thrive -- and maybe even grow.

slim......it will be infinitely easier for you to "cover" the upcoming events that you are not racing at........ for SW........what is really needed is a designated reporter to keep current updates ongoing.......to properly satisfy those watching from around the globe...... and a designated picture taker and poster of pics as well as video.....DURING the events..... its just too much for a racer.........though we take whatever we can get........the beauty of this network of folks is that there is likely a person to fill any delegated duties.......

He looked at the money and said "for that you better take him a couple". You should share your Speed Week story, what good karma. Don |
