I thought they came up with "change the rules to fit my car" or " I want my own class" for a an entry name!

Hey, where is "propeller boy"? I thought he was Glen's best buddy and was moving to southern Utah. :-({|= ...JD

The Plopster is still around and now wants SCTA to publish a book on his
research to provide for the "UNWASHED MASSES".
I suggested he look up Land Speed Louise.
They deserve each other.

The other teams you mention are still around also and will continue to be
 around in circles for awhile. :wink:

Jimmie Six. The propster is not allowed on this side of the Mississippi river. There fore he is allowed to run only at Maxton under the direction of K.Turk ESQ. and his band of red necks. He will be allowed to make runs right after it rains to blow the water off the course so all of the bikers can run with out rain tires off a F-1 car. If he over shoots the shut down area and his chute is wrapped up in the propeller he should add inflatable pontoons to this vehicle so it can be a swamp runner.  :twisted:

Utah has also outlawed him as well.

Just last night I evoked the name on the DLRA board after Hawkwind made a comment about traction.The first time I checked out landracing .com he( Franklin) was taking all comers in an abuse fest on traction/thrust ....maybe a brave band of adventurers could be sent off to capture him and bring him in a cage to show people at fairs and the like ...oh hang on that was King Kong wasn't it :roll: it seems just like LSR all the good ideas have already been thought of. :wink:

THATS ENTERTAINMENT
I have a lot of "HIGH FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES" that can take him out for
 a good time and he will forget his worries about us.    LOL

Ya know, now that I think of it I have some "LOW FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES" also.  :wink:

You all know that you have just opened "Pandora's Box". FR Googles himself every day just to see if he's still alive. On the no show team... I can sort of sympathies with some of these guys... What I thought was just going to be a couple months of work and I'd be seeing records with my name on them in the rule book. Well.. a change of jobs, a year of chemo therapy, and now my wife brought home a Trans Am that had been painted with Purple latex house paint (Wife said it was Perry winkle. and not purple) and informed me that she wanted a "Hot Rod" too!
 Come to think of it... Pandora's Box Racing Team would have been a good name for those guys.

 Happy Holidays everyone!     Smitty

Man if I was living on Oregon I would worry if that was water base paint and keep it indoors so it don't get washed down the gutter. You do have gutters in Oregon don't you?? :shock:  :D  8)  :twisted:

Don't paint it and nobody will steal it.
Keep it as a sleeper and hope nobody else puts it to sleep.
With a car like that you will always have the fright of way.

OBTW: I want the guy that sold her the car working for me.
Can you hook us up ? :wink:
