Should be noted, Joe Santangelo ,without the heads up in rd. 5 , > .013 average.<
He's driven the car ,what, twice now? ..... after skipping the first time trial.
Think about THAT the next time you spend $170 + with NHRA for a cookout and a few practice runs...

OK Jim, don't look it up, what is the definition of "penumbra"

I will buy you dinner at a race if you know the answer without looking it up.

Dave - You must be hanging out with the wrong crowd ........."penumbra" ?? I'm having trouble finding it in the dictionary ......................

I did'nt mind the lenght of the trip as much as the condition of the roads, I dont know what Mass and Conn. do with the fuel taxes,but they dont appear to spend it on the highways!

Amen to that brother!!!

I found your 'Vette on Auto Imagery.
I was in the lanes Saturday for the first round of SS with my friend Mark Howes and his black SS/JA '71 Duster. You pulled up in the lane next to us and I commented to Mark how cool it was the way you have climb out of the car with the peg sticking out of the rocker panel area -- If I'd have only known !!!!

Well I'm no reporter but, a local racer brought this picture by Fri. from Epping and thought it was the biggest news of the day ! Thats right none less than our beloved reporter doing manual labor .... I wonder if Ken knows he wasn't doing his slacking of his reporting duties ?

Well here's the real news - I worked so hard at New England there's rumors of me getting a bonus ..........Trouble is that Ken is being mum on the rumors . And yes , I did some manual labor there . Tell me again what position you qualified ...............

Dave...your money is safe. I had to look it up!

Now, I have to figure out a way to include "penumbra" in future coverage.

Reminds me of my day job. A former coworker and I used to challenge each other to work specific words into advertising we were writing. I challenged him to work the word "protozoa" into a radio commercial for a strip club. He wrote "Our dancers do more splits than a protozoa."
