The Beer Baron and my crew cruised down together and we arrived at around 12:45pm. We were met at the gate by Redevil, who was visiting from NJ.
John Shelton, 35th SC and Merc 65 were already there. Al35thSC and his lady arrived shortly thereafter.
Not everyone elected to race, which was cool. I believe John Shelton and 35th SC (Mike) were the only ones racing, along with the "Hot Rod Lincoln".
We held a short meeting and we affirmed some events as follows;
1. May...Coast Cruise starting in Long Beach at the Queen Mary parking lot,
2. June...Day at the Drags at Carlsbad (near San Diego).
3. The Bakersfield Shoot-out in August.
I think it's safe to say that a great time was had by all. Each person was the kind of person that you could spend alot of time getting to know better and spend some time with shooting the breeze.
I felt pretty out of it as I was in the cast and in the wheelchair, but it was worth the inconvenience. My kids seemed to be having fun and that always makes me happy.
My son-in-law brought us down in his Mark VI Lincoln to make it easier on me getting down there. This was a big help.
One of the coolest things that happened was that after we lined-up for a group picture my daughter was pushing me back to our pits when I heard this roar from behind me as John Shelton lite up the Hoosiers and smoked by me. Well, not to be out done, each SC proceeded to do some righteous burn-outs! Even Oscar smoked the hides of the Lincoln. Most impressive gents.
Some observations;
John Shelton has the sweetest and badest SC in these parts,
35th SC (Mike) looks like The Rock,
Al35thSC is a "Hardcore Cowboy",
Merc65 (Robert) is a mechanical genius,
The Beer Baron's SC is tight baby and he is cool!
Well, it's time to start talking it up about the May cruise and perhaps start doing some long-range planning for Carlsbad. Maybe we can race in the morning and then picnic at the beach (or something along that line).
Later,
Ron
