All:

 What a blast.  I'd do it again ... as soon as I can get some parts.  I used 
my car up.  Gear box only has three forward gears and the left half 
shaft/diff parts are still on the track me thinks.   Some kind track worker 
said it looked liked a Keystone cops movie of yesteryear when parts came 
out.

Bill B put on one hell of a dinner on Saturday.  What a spread!  Fresh Lamb 
and beef from his daughters ranch.  I still don't know what a "Flat Iron" 
cut is but, damn it tastes good.  But, the Lamb was spectacular.   And Henry 
Frye  well... just grilled these to perfection.  All the fixings and grog to 
wet any appetite.  ...oh, btw  while being the consumate host that night 
Bill was also pounding out some metal in the Peyote due to someone elses 
foolishness.  The crew was pro all the way... could hardly tell when 
repaired.


During Friday practice Chuck Gee slipped in the rain while on an upshift and 
had some body work to contend with.   But, thanks to some adjustments, crow 
bars, chains, six able bodies working while ten others gaulked in amazement 
the darn #14 Spitfire was put together so well the corner workers had to 
come by to the pits to ensure that Chuck did not pull a fast one... i.e. 
having a spare identically numbered car.  Damn, I wish I had a photo of Kas 
spray painting his car.
Oh, the swap meet helped... lots of inexpensive spares.   I kind of like the 
idea of having British swap meets during vintage racing.  Kudos, to the 
clever folks whodreamed that amalgam together.

How many transmissions did Jerry Barker go through?  four?  He can change a 
transmission in his Herald faster than I can change four tires, oil, plugs 
and brakes.

Joe had the very pretty and clean Ambro special (short wind screen).  Tall 
Kas along side in the passenger seat during the Kas Cup race - started to 
drizzle just as the parade lap started.  Racers were lucky... we had eye 
protection from the rain drops...  I'm not sure what  Joe and Kas had to do 
to stay on the correct part of the track- hard to see when your eyes are 
closed...bet the drops stung.

Sovren crew and the Buckingham's are a class act and lots of fun. 
Especially, at the Sunday Dinner Party.  Thanks to Dick and Judy, corner 
workers, Race Chairman, and all the kind folks who allowed us to play.

Oh-----I found out that the PIR is VERY near a golf course-  don't ask how 
but, that Slazenger 7 had somemarks on it that weren't green. I hope it is 
still has some usefull purposes... I gave it to Kas and Peggy to putt around 
with.
