List,
I sure miss those days and those guys even more, and sorry I missed
Carlisle this year, so no more Imports at Carlisle? Carlisle is not the
same without Frank and his Speedwell Spridget and Biff and his oldest
Spridget there but we must continue doing what we love and of course paying
it forward. Putting Carlisle on my calendar for 2020 and hopefully hosting
an OSHIT day this summer : ) My little pink Spridget is running great rust
and all.....er pardon me "patina" and all, and I love her that way as I
never have to feel badly for additional scratches.
Safety Fast,
Linda

62 California Spridget "Pinky"
