By now, several of the gang are at supper in Heath, not far from the track. I was not able to go this year and so am going to have to settle for pictures. Ted has a laptop with him and card reader so should be able to get everyone's images and so I will be able to post within the week of him getting back.



Wishin' I was there....

I am with you there Jim, I am also missing it, when I found out I couldn't go, I imediately sent a check to Bob Martin on Monday morning to at least make sure everyone else enjoys it. I did call him this morning and he was already at columbus and hadn't received it yet so I informed him he could at least count on it for the general fund, whereas I couldn't think of any other category that needs to be covered, I think he has all the bases covered.

Now I am going to cry myself to sleep and dream about being there.

Good luck to all,

Bill

Sorry to hear you couldn't make it .Right now 1745 hrs Friday . Lynne and I are heading out for dinner .I have a couple of the " Y- Blockers " cell numbers , will try and get an update  LIVE from the track later tonight.  Maybe we need a TV crew  at the track so all of us who couldn't attend can watch all the action on the web . Now there's a thought ????

Jim, Bill, is it okay if we send some finnish tv channel there to make a Live broadcast from Columbus so that at least we here in Finland could watch the action real time .

Lon, Jim, Seppo,

I think we need the Y Block Channel on satellite TV (Direct TV or Dish network, I don't know what you have in those countries). or maybe go all out with a legendary FORD channel that just plays peoples engine building, racing, dynoing, car builds etc. Sorta like the speed channel but leaving the scrubs out.

I'll go buy a camera and start working on it, it sure beats working in dusty old plants for a living.

Had a great time down there! My digital camera doesn't zoom on video's so your stuck squinting to see the action. Hopefully the sounds make up for it! I only recorded second round, so were missing about half the group. I'm sure someone else took some video as well. See you all next year....

Ted took my little Sanyo digital camcorder with him, and a mount to put inside other racer's cars. I am hoping he got some good stuff.
