SSS or R the R, is there any way you could get more info on the  engine in Spriit of Rett streamliner ? Like cubic inches, is it still  a carb engine, like Wooden had in it before  he sold it or is it mechanical or electronic fuel injected, who built and tuned the engine, the type of fuel and any other titbits you can glean from that outstanding team.  Thank you for your efforts....

Today is beginning to feel like the day we return home from a vacation.

Withdrawl is gonna be a _itch.

Thanks Ray, u done good except that you got addicted to the 7D and SSS when you and Nancy get home it may be

snowplow time.

Don't utter Good Bye, just say, "see ya nextime" when Lynda releases you to the real world as you leave Lands End.

It's OK to have a lump in your throat and moist eyes.

Oh yes, as you lumber along, make a list of the things that need to be done for next year. You can't start any sooner.

For the 77 crew, Tanis must have missed chef Michael Lueders.

Love Ya All. See you at the Bville NW Reunion February 13, 2010.

Who will get the One Ball Award?

Questions/answers/photos. 

Spectre ran about 334, got the record, I believe.  Only its 3rd pass down the salt.

Ok.  Tanis is fast, Fast Freddie is obscene.  :)

Sorry, head not working.  Herbert-Steen?  Number?  Class?

Paul Thede.  Faster'n a scalded cat.  Butchered the old record.

Don't have the info on Spirit of Rett, but my money would be on efi.  Other stuff will have to come from others.

Ok.  Photos...in roughly the order they ran. 

Rogers' Camaro.  No record, also failed on 2nd qualifying attempt.

Centimark Mustang.  Got record after a lotta trouble.

Banyard Beacat, also got record.

RtR, Herbert - Steen was before your time.

You just skip over that question on the test.
