Back in the day when EGOS we're small'er' and our check books matched that,

we used to Race Cars....

Then we started racing Trucks with Enclosed trailers....

Which transpired into Semi Trucks with 53' trailers.....

and Now we're racing 'Chillers / Coolers' (wtf)..

No wonder the costs just to participate keep climbing.

Back in the days, every round, use to fill lots of jugs (on a Flyer hand wagon) with water and pour it in the engine.
Icing the intake and the fuel line in the cool can was also common practice.
Today the cooler on the golf cart is easier on the back, more effective and not as messy.......

Now that's funny. I remember those days. After every pass Dad would say "Alright go get some water" in the little red wagon we had three of those big clear looking water jugs.

Ahhh, the days of the old red wagon and cool down jugs. I must have logged a thousand miles pulling that wagon from the pits to the staging lanes.

There should be some type of device to indicate honorable service as the family water boy. Maybe a patch in the shape of a water jug with a little red wagon on the inside..."Gone but never forgotten"

And they call this the "Sportsman Division!" I agree with your statement, Larry...I STILL have my red "flyer" wagon and plastic jugs but I don't think that will help....NO ROOM here for a 'POOR BOY!"
