I think we are getting off easy with this storm. All we have had is about 1/2 inch of rain overnight.

 

we've had 2" of snow and still snowing now..... 2-3" more today.

 

4" on the ground now and more on the way...lake effect

"midnight gambler" eh?

 

Yea I thought I needed to come up with a name for the car. Wife and me started looking at it and she noticed I had dice on the valve stem and door locks and we started playing around with names about gambling. I also got bored this winter and made these in my work shop

The dice with sticks will hold the rope to keep the crowds back, got 40' of black nylon rope.

 

I set in the rain that year, we didn't go back when they finally ran the race. There was a lot of wrecks in that race. Wasn't that also, the year of the big one at the start with Salt Walther's (another rich kid that wanted to go racing) feet sticking out of the car as it spun down the main straight. Hard to believe that Savage lived through the impact, only to be left to burn in the pile of wreckage. I remember seeing him fight to get out of the car. Those cars back then carried upwards of 40 gallans of fuel in them. Seemed like if there was a fire back then the driver was almost always killed. I think they called it flame inhalation. The most vivid memory of that kind I have it Art Pollard's wreck in practice before Saturday Qualifications.

I was thinking this was the same year, after reseaching sure enough it was

We got snowed on pretty good last night, it started right around 4pm or so and kept going. It was the wet and sloppy stuff. Makes great snowballs though.

 

its a really wet slippery snow...I about fell on my **** 3 or 4 times just brushing the stuff off of my car!

and darrell...Those giant dice are awesome! That will be really cool at car shows!

 

I was trudging around in this stuff quite a bit last night. I just got done cleaning the Escort off and shoveling under it, along with shoveling the walkway to the front door.

 

Nice!

 

Ben, your so right! 1973 was a tuff year at the track! Remember how they changed the entrance to the pits after 1973 got rid of that killer dog leg and re-worked the pit wall!

 

Hey! 70MACH1OWNER got a name and theme for your Stang yet! I can think of a couple..........but I don't want to start fight with you to day!!...

 

Smart Man...I always hate to get into a "battle of witts" with an unarmed man. However, I can make it optional in your case!!

 

Blackstang doesnt have any arms??...how does he drive his stang?

 

Hhahahahaaaa good one Cody!
