Great time was had by all, as described by Turbo Toddie.
Howdy everyone that didn't show up to Natls this year and allowed us to be embarassed by SS, AS and STU!! Got your attention now?
First, if you didn't make it, you missed a damn good time and a terrible hangover!!! By now, you have read that the old snow bird, Darrel Padberg, won again, dammit! The courses this year were definitely faster than last year but the "racetrack grade asphalt" still SUCKS!!!! Ver Mulm and Rick "mini-pinto" Ruth got the Hoosier radials working pretty good with the pinto finishing one out of the trophies! Some new faces with old cars made it this year. Walford's car was there with its new owner,Brian Weikert,and Rich Rippy whoring a codrive. Steve Weeks' Stagnaro clone now belongs to Thomas Clark.Grayden led the cheers and Cathy Barnes killed the burnout competition (which probably saved some of us a few broken parts). Carl Couric made it again but decided to work on his car all week to pass the time
) And, Mike Sargent made his return/debut with his new car and even let Dwight Cotton codrive. I guess he needed somebody to blame whatever on!
As for the ladies, they got the privilege of running in the cold and wet of heat 2. the usual suspects were there with Liz Berger(who is faster than daddy), Donna Bartling, Dede Padberg and Brenda Ucker doing the tankslap every run!! Donna Bartling, in Buddie Jasman's old car, came out victorious after day 2 utilizing a lean and mean line to stay of the cones of the east course!!
As for 08, let's get some of the deadasses back to Nats to they can experience the pain! Tequila induced or other?! We need some new faces on the stage as Frank isn't getting any younger, Maier isn't getting any more normal, Janish and Ankeny aren't getting any skinnier and Ver Mulm and myself are only getting balder!! Padberg is maintaining his health by being frozen most of the year in Wisconsin!! And Rick Ruth is too ugly to be on stage)!
Now, all of this fun wouldn't be complete without pointing some fingers at the MIA's If your name is on this list, we are going to assume you have fallen and can't find your margarita glass or you have been anatomically fixed so that there is no pleasure left in life!!
Wayne Reuter btw Very Big Get Well Soon!!!

Jerry Riley lemme guess? you fell again?
Dave Whitworth rumored to be going tube?

and many more! This 44-45 car thing is making us look kind of weak! We need to steal a few more of the 'car of the week' club and show them what fun is about!!
As Rick Bobby says, "If you ain't FIRST, you're LAST!" Turbotoddie says, "losing sucks!"
