<div dir="ltr"><div>Stan,</div><div>The paddock area at Schenley Park is extremely congested with no easy ingress/egress other than a one-way lane. It would be very difficult to cordon off a piece of real estate for a Spridget Village. Remember, it is not a race track. It's a 150 year old park designed for horses and buggies. <br></div><div>As is my habit of late, I will not be joining you, but can say it is a unique and thrilling experience where small indiscretions invite major consequences (a bit like marriage). To all who go: you will NEVER forget the storm drains, granite curbs, stone walls, bad pavement and 150-foot ravine drop offs where other tracks would have a sand pit run-off. Enjoy! And hope to see you guys at Put-in-Bay.</div><div>JohnD<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 15, 2022 at 12:25 PM Don Kelly <<a href="mailto:devildogracing9@gmail.com">devildogracing9@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">#9 is in the body shop.

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to send this out since I was hopeful that we would have a common Spridget Paddock and our traditional Brat lunches and evening Cape of Good Hope Portable Pub toasting. At this point I have not had any feedback for a common Spridget paddock. Without a common paddock it it is not possible to set up the rest. I know this will be a great weekend and I am looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting new Spridget Racers.</div>

<div>See you there.</div>
