Subject: RE: Responding to a judging question

For judging, my car may as well have looked like Dave Stragand's (no
offense, Dave) since there were only enough cars in my category (100k+) to
justify a single award. :-( But the winner deserved it. :-)

Speaking of the winner, Bill Swilley also won the "farthest drive" award,
which I considered nominating myself for since my car come from Houston just
like Bill's, only mine started in Austin almost 200 miles further away. Of
course, I didn't do the driving so it seemed cheap to try to claim the
award. Maybe it should have gone to James Espey for doing all the driving
for me?





Actually, I may still have beaten you, as I drove from Houston by way of Dallas and clocked 1507 miles door to door, and I think that would have beaten an Austin-Cleveland run. But the comment does cause me to raise a point. IMO, our meets should be about the CARS and their DRIVERS. Last fall, I drove to an event in an unnamed Southern state, only to be beaten out by someone who had FLOWN in from one location and had their car TRAILERED in from another. I take great pride in having and maintaining a fresh looking but high mileage car, and found it abit peeve provoking to find the award to be about AIRLINE TICKETS and TRAILERS. Comments anyone?


I just have to pick on Gus a bit, since, because of him, I now have the SECOND fastest, normally aspirated PRV DeLorean in the world (that I'm aware of). BTW, I got to drive Gus's car the other day in Houston (just more "proof of concept", you understand), and LOVED the way it ran! I had driven it before without the headers installed, and was impressed with the difference they made. That baby just wants to run! I'm afraid that "drag racer" Gus is going to find it a "ticket magnet". Keep us posted, Gus
