The results are in.

All the competitors had a drivers meeting before eliminations. It was such a nice day with temps in the upper 80's to 90 degrees with a nice breeze. It was decided that we split the $50,000 purse and just go to the beach. There were babes in bikinis, and for you lady racers out there, there were dudes in little tiny bathing suits. We ended up having a cookout on the beach and with the purse being split everybody decided to pitch in and hire a band and bring in the famous "Dancing Baers" Anyway a great time was had by all and we are already talking about next years race. See ya all there.

Yes it must be tough to be able to race 52 weeks a year! And the beach is for after the races! Submarine Race Watching anyone?

Don't forget the SPF-50, Ron!

This is what happens when you let a bunch of racers, or people who are involved in racing get thing out of control.

Originally I posted "I would like to be racing but I cannot afford it this weekend, but I'm gonna save up for the SSSSA Race in Central Florida June 25th. This is an association race that pays good and is all about S/SS. Got no complaints. See ya all there.

No matter where you are you need to support S/SS."

Now since then, the next thing you know Michael Beard is starting things up about hearing that the car count is low, etc., then Jim Wahl chimes in about the facility, Scott Helms inquiring about results, Jim Fitzpatrick wanting to go, but cannot, Kenny Wigington talking about the traction, Jay Slane making excuses, Mack Reeves getting his feelings hurt, what was I supposed to do! You people out there are nuts, no wonder I like you guys so much.

So I set up the scenario that you all would enjoy. No pros, plenty of parking with hookups next to a scenic water view and wildlife, tours, 4 time trials, good traction, favorable scales and fuel check, pairing the Challengers and Cobra Jets, getting rid of that stupid braking at a drag race, being able to run a fabricated time with a time slip to prove it, and topping it off with gator and frosty beverages. Then the ultimate, spliting $50,000 and going to the beach to see babes in bikinis and to party and pig out.

Now are there any complaints about an imaginary good time?

Support your local S/SS races, thay are fun.

And Lew, the racing would continue anytime we want, before or after the beach, we have unlimited lighting.

Last time I went to the submarine races there was a stick sticking out of the water in Intracoastal Waterway. The young lady I was with thought it was a periscope, we never did find out who won.

"Moser Engineering got a good deal on some HOUSE axles right now."

Ron, (as you well know) I've won Class many times in Englewood. The problem I have is my new wife knows my "winning" reputation there, and I'm no longer allowed to compete at that level. LOL , JB.
