I had the privilege of meeting Tom at Muscle Car Madness when he was in NZ with Alan, unfortunately didn't get to spend a lot of time with him, but enjoyed it immensely. Was over joyed to be given stickers and badges, totally unexpected.

Ok Mr. Lon  ( you know you're getting old when people treat you with unaccustomed respect!!!     I would LOVE to come down and see ya Buddy! (Hmmmm maybe if I sell the wife???  LOL) Maybe someday, or maybe I will get ya up north??? 

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

I know I pick on "Old" Lonnie a lot, but have to admit Lon and his FAR better half Lynne are one class act !!!  Hopefully I can get myself down under some day to give Lon a hard time in person! Either that or get him up here in the winter time to experience our -31 deg C (-24 deg F).  Take care Buddy!!! 

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

I must say Lynn, Lons and Brads hospitality is world class! I owe them and some stories when I have more time, if I can talk my wife into it maybe some airmiles to get back to Columbus. Not sure if he will spend much time up this neck of the woods, I think he experienced one day of Mainiacness and that may have been enough for him! LOL! But the Loring Land speed racing would be an event he wouldn't forget, just have to get a Y together for it!

Lon.  Much thanks from us over here in the States for the hospitality you show those of us that go to Australia for a visit.  I can’t wait to talk to Tom and get his recounts of his experiences on your side of the world.

Special thanks to Lynne ,Allen & Karen Boughen ,Darryl, Brad ,"Cusso  Bill ",Jason & Roxanne Taranto & the gang from Melbourne ,& Tom's friend Alan  from NZ ,  . Tom will tell his story in due time .I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone to say it was an honour & a privilege to show him how the other half live . Y Blocks FOREVER.
