Congratulations on a successful week, Katie. I was following
the action on Landracing & SCTA and wondered what the heck was
going on when the results had you in C/GMR!!! That car has
quite a pedigree, have a ball with it!

>We (the professional racing nanny, Ron the spouse, Baby
Carmen, and I) just
>got home this morning from the salt. It was an adventure
having a 7 week old
>baby with us this year, but I must admit she did well.
>
>As for running our new car, we accomplished all that we
intended to this
>Speed Week. My dad & I had the goal of gettting seat time in
it and earning
>up to our A licenses, both goals were accomplished. He ran a
top speed of 219
>on the long course and I ran 212 on the short course (What a
ride! It sure is
>different than the '39 coupe.) So, next time out running we
hope to work
>toward some record setting action!
>
>Now for those who didn't see our new ride...well, we have a
modified roadster
>that is running in the C/GMR class, no it doesn't have a
Jimmy in it yet. My
>dad purchased it late last year and asked me to keep it a
secret so we could
>surprise everyone at the salt (boy, was everyone surprised)!
What a hard
>secret it was to keep because I was so excited about it. The
car was
>originally built by Jerry Kuegal as a Rod & Custom project
car in 1969, then
>Gordon Hoyt had it, and the last owner before us was Glenn
Miller.
>
>Congrats go out to Jim Ton's son Patrick for earning a red
hat! And, I saw
>Turbo Rick in the impound practically everytime I drove by.
Sorry, if I am
>missing others but I didn't catch up with as many friends as
I usually do
>because of the needs of dear Carmen.
>
>Take care all!

>P.S. Let me give a BIG thanks to the German photographer who
found and
>returned my brand new driving boots, please pass that on if
any of you know
>him. (Let's just say I got distracted and drove back to town
with them on
>the roof of the Blazer, and he luckily he found them at the
merging of the
>salt and pavement that night.)
