OOPS.....Sorry Jon,
I sent you this as I thought you'd like to see it: to perhaps "get the juces
flowing" as it were -for Goodguys. You met me at Rhinebeck in September - I
introduced myself to you during the awards presentation while you were
shooting-it was the first chance I got to find you. You had e-mail me that
you would "look me up" during the event, and I missed meeting you.....(I had
written, and you printed my rebuttal to the whiners complaining about their
not getting their trophys and etc. that they had written in to complain to
the gazette from in Fla. a while back.)
I put you on my "short list" to send interesting stuff to -thinking you'd
like to see that kind of stuff from time to time.
Bruce Ferguson, the others, and I are all members of the LAND SPEED RACING
e-mail subcriber list where we communicate every day to about 150 other
serious racers around the world. I thought you knew about it.....(Check your
copy of BONNEVILLE RACING NEWS for more information) The list has multiple
200mph club members on it as well. Please understand,We'r not all a bunch
of wahoo wannabees.
Sorry for the msg. will remove you off my forward list forthwith.
Cheers, Doug Anderson in New Yawk

Bruce or Doug, Perhaps I'm suffering from a case of brain fade... Who are
you guys? How do you know me? Who is Doug Anderson? Why are you sending me
copies of your e-mails? I use to own a Sunbeam Tiger, as for the 88 Olds
powered Astra, was that a concept car? If so I think I know who owns it
today. I don't have a web site, unless you are referring to the Goodguys'
site
Jon
