"Lollygaggers"

I was a "Lollygagger" once ( damn I wish I had not made the comment about difficulty in swallowing). Arriving late for the Chicago national event, you know on Thursday morning, we got parked behind staging. There was about 10 to 15 rigs parked behind staging. From our vantage point we could all of staging at the rear. We got to observe all of the racers that like to be at the end of session, and what those racers do. Typically what they do is look at the qualifying sheet and a blank ladder sheet to see where they want to qualify. I decided I was going to go down after everyone else, so I waited and waited. Finally the notchback 428 Mustang showed up running the same class as I was in B/SA in the "Private Lee". We were going to show em how the South was going to "do it again". We had been studying our qualifying sheet, too and went to the starting line loaded for bear. Since I was behind the notchback mustang, I knew if he picked up his, I could pick up mine. He figured out what we were trying to do and ran his all the way out, forgetting about the 1000' dump. We moved on up and just missed him heads up first round by .008.

Man, I love playing checkers!!
