Not everybody from out of town got to run in the second heat. Some of us
traveled a bit further than 250 miles and still had to run in the third.
The bad news is that the event ran so late that they called it off due to
darkness, before some cars got their third run in. I think they're going to
throw out everybody's third run. It's not like it mattered much to me. I'm
never driving the fastest car out there but, as usual, I was driving the
oldest.
Mike, I did see your pressure gauge beside the start during the third heat
(yellow hose I think?) but, as I'm not in the habit of picking up other
people's things, I left it there. I figured it belonged to somebody still
running. I was packing up the MGA in twilight at the end, so I didn't
notice if it was still there then.

550 miles each way to St Louis with 965 miles of rally in between and he's
talking travel distances! ;-)

To all the guys in the Boeing Sports Car Club, Thank you.
Today, Mike Bultemeier, the Nicolls and myself made the ~250 mile trek
(each
way) to St. Charles Mo. for an event at the Boeing plant.
3 out of 4 of us were slated to drive in the third heat of the day. That
heat didn't even get started until after 5pm due to unforseen delays. Had
we actually driven in the third heat we probably wouldn't have even left
the
site until 7pm, or later.
However, the great guys and gals with the Boeing Sports Car Club
accommadated us "out of towners" and made arrangements with several local
second heat drivers to swap places with us and let us drive in the second
heat and be able to get back to Kansas City before 9pm.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Oh BTW, I _really_ smacked my first good cone today and they do make a
terrible noise as they bounce around and under your car. ;^)
On a wierd side note; Does anyone know if the US Gubmint had started
minting
a newly designed Quarter? Today I received one in change from a Flying J
truck stop and it's the wierdest looking coin, besides Canadian coins, that
I've ever seen. ;^)
Under good ol' George's bust are the words "Quarter dollar" instead of the
usual year stamping. On the rear is a recreation of a statue of Caesar
Rodney riding a horse instead of the usual eagle with the words "Delaware
1787" above the statue and the words "The First State" next to the statue.
The year stamp, with the "E Pluribis Unum" under it on the bottom rear of
the coin.
Is this a real US Gubmint quarter? I never heard any word that there was
going to be a change to the quarter's appearance.
Or is this part of some big conspiracy? =8^O
See you on course.
