[Fot] Hot Wheels...WHY?

[jerrybarr at charter.net]

My sweet wife and I are in Spearfish SD so we went to the local Walmart to look for the TR6 racers. After looking though the whole rack all we found was a Dstun 510 so I bought it so I can stomp on it.

  Like a Lemming, I've have followed the rushing crowd to Walmart and
purchased two Hot Wheels TRIUMPH TR6 models.  They are both the #17 silver
race car model.  Now if I can only find my collection of Avon After Shave (in
the green glass TR3 bottles), I can keep them all together.  I hope Shirley
hasn't tossed them out.

  Why would a seventy year old man make a special trip to Walmart to buy Hot
Wheels?  Total cost...$2.04.  And they're not a gift for my grandchildren.
They're for myself no less.  It's because what happened at ROAD AMERICA last
week end is more frosting on our cake.  Kas, Tullius, and a host of others
laid the foundation a half century ago.  By shade tree backyard efforts, that
winning tradition was continued in club racing for decades.  Long after
TRIUMPH ceased production the winning continues.  People like Prentice,
Wheeler, and now Halkias continued the winning tradition.    Based on the
incredible number of wins, and in particular its club racing record...clearly,
TRIUMPH, that sports car for the common man...that sports car of the great
unwashed, is one of the greatest marques ever.

  You bet!  I've got mine too.
