Come with it! What did the old jalopy run??

BTW I need to see some time slips scanned and posted by HIM for it to hold any water!

"NO TIME" in white shoe polish on Marlin's Deuce.Maybe he thought you sent spies to check up on your competition? I'm not talking, but I think I saw daylight under the left front on one launch.

I just got back from e-town. We had so much fun
we stayed over for sundays old funny car reunion.
Man was it awesome watching the old drag and funny
cars run.The FAST drags were pretty cool to watch also.
I got to meet Merlin and Shor and watch The 02 #15 ZL1
run down the track (will give you goosebumps). As far as Merlin times I cannot disclose that info at this time(it's
much more suspenseful that way). It took us 7 hours to get
from CT to e-town Friday night, but was worth it to spend the weekend watching these great cars. I wish I took my camera but I did'nt.

Sorry for the misspelling of your name Marlin.
I don't know if it was the long drive home or all the
Merlin heads I saw this weekend.

No Big Deal....I'm sure he's been called Worse.
Sounds like you had a Great Day!

I've been called a lot worse than Merlin! It was nice to meet you at the track, and several other folks as well.

At 11:00 there were 3 FAST cars and me! By noon however, 2 more F/S cars arrived. A '69 AMX with 343 and 4speed, and a '71 GTO with an a/t. I raced them both over the course of the afternoon, and had a lot of fun.

It was an all around good day! The weather got better, the reschedule date was finalized before we left, met some really nice F.A.S.T. guys, and actually improved my times over the course of the afternoon - no particulars though

The best part of the day however, was the hospitality of Andrew Hinckley. No better way to enjoy a race than to have the track announcer give you personal tours of the place, explain how everything works, introduce you to so many people that I can't remember, sending out workers to make sure my car was alright after my initial pass, etc... A big, big thanks to Andrew!
