I checked out the parts did not find anything that I really needed. There
were many things I could have used, I guess, but my sane side said to
pass. I was looking for a passenger side front wing, but all I could
find was the drivers side so the quest continues. No hurry the way I
move on things.
I saw chuck on my way in bent over a box of rubber bits. I cruised
the cars, looked for some people then went back outside to the vendor
area. A good amount of time had passed the there was Chuck still
in the same spot, still bending over the the same box. For a second I
thought he hurt his back and could not move since he was their so
long.

Chuck does have one nice Bugeye looking low and mean.
Chuck forgot to tell everyone how he was asked to leave the park.
No joke. Chuck had started his Bugeye and was warming up the
engine. The car was running on Cam2 with a straight pipe. He was
blipping the throttle and the people started to crowd around the
Chuck's Bugeye. After a couple of minutes this woman comes over and
asks Chuck, "Are you leaving soon?" I figure she wants a picture of
the worlds largest Sprite driver. Chuck answers, "Yes." This woman
then responds, "That's good, we don't have a PA in the award area and
nobody can hear!" With that Chuck idled out of the fairgrounds. But
we all hear him screaming down the road on his way out; once again
drowning out the awards ceremony.
CC> there were a bunch of list members but i lost count how many.
