Yes, hot and humid! When we were there in 1976 for the NHRA SportNationals it was the same weather. That is why there is a roof on some of the bleachers! Sweaten bullets! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Flying Dutchman Nova update
 

Sam, you sweat? Us heating guys stay in the A/C. We know how to keep our cool!

Sounds like you are getting back to form! Cutting good lites is a bonus! On the right track with the "The East Penn Plumbing" B/MP nova! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Flying Dutchman Nova update
 

11.55! Nice going Benny! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Flying Dutchman Nova update
 

Beaver Springs nostalgia meet, we got into the 3rd round, but I missed the call up. The AP system, was poor. But four events in a row, i got into the second or 3rd rounds each time. Not bad for a rookie! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Flying Dutchman Nova update
 

NO excuses about the AP System!! The other guys made it up to the starting line. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif We will have to start calling you "Benny The Shoe" just like that New Yorker racer on this Site. So, like the SS/AH guys say....."Don't care about your win/loss record but how fast did you go"? So..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Flying Dutchman Nova update
 

I Went fast enough to beat the other guy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Flying Dutchman Nova update
 

A good answer Benny! You are now officially a sandbagger. Just fast enough to beat the other guy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
