[Land-speed] TOE IN >>> Joaquin Arnett

[Doug Anderson]

  Wes & List,

   Speaking of whom, does anyone know how our friend Joaquin is doing ?

   I haven't seen him in years.  A great guy...  -a craftsman.    And funny.



         " keep your friends, you don't get many  "

  cheers, "Dirt Track Doug" in So. New York,

  -18 miles from Square Deal Raceway,
  -20 miles east of Action Park Speedway,
  -50 miles northeast of Champion Speedway
  -105 miles south of "the  Syracuse  Mile" ...
  -265 miles north of Williams Grove Speedway
  -2425 miles due east of the Bonneville Salt Flats
          and never more than a few feet from a cold one

I believe Joaquin Arnett actually published something about this.
They used in line front wheels on one of the Bean Bandit liners.
I seem to remember that Joaquin received some recognition for the 
explanation.
