New Records for '08

[Dave Haller]

Got a question. Looking at the new records for '08 in the Unblown Gas Lakester Class I see two in red for the same class, AA/GL. Hammond at over 300 and Smith at 299. Can anyone explain?

dave--ive seen it to --i think that everyone that sets a record this year will be listed in red at the end of the season they will drop all but the fastest in each class---just a guess  willie buchta

Willie wins the prize...it will show as a record set and next year all 08 records will be in Black with the top speed record in the class remaining.

You are right I got me a hat but it got bumped the next day --- That meet is Seths as for as I am concerend---thanks

Sparky, you might think about changing your signature from "El M hat" to "claret hat" --  per Dan Warner's explanation of how the color for the EM hats was chosen.  With the change the three lines would all be similar.

Merlot, claret, what's the difference.  Back in MY day - it was either Thunderbird or Mad Dog 20-20.  And I couldn't see what color those were -- the brown bag I kept 'em in didn't let their hue show through.

[McRat]

"What the word?  Thunderbird!  What's the price?  50 twice!"  or something like that.

You can always tell the good wines by the how easy the screw top cap threads on.  It shows attention to detail.

Back in the 50s at El Mirage we drank Adelanto red eye, I got my first taste of that rot gut from Mickey Thompson. Stuff would gag a pig.

When I was serving my time during Vietnam we drank Red Mountain. $2.49 the gallon.

What's the word ... Thunderbird - What's the price ... 30 twice - What's the action ... satisfaction

[Dean Los Angeles]

Ah . . . Ripple!  You gotta love that stuff! Two bucks for 55 gallons.
