:
: We ended up with 10 cars, one being an AMC
: since the promoters advertised this as a
: 6-cylinder race instead of a Slant race. Low
: qualifier was the Wes Alumbaugh '62 Lancer
: (driven by Brent) at 10:86@120mph. Second
: was the "Buzzin' Half Duzzin'"
: (Mike and Blaine) at 12:65. (no bottle). We
: also had a couple new cars. A gentleman from
: Fairdealings, MO showed up with his
: daughter's show quality '64 Belvidere and a
: guy from the St. Louis area brought a really
: sweet 46,000 mile '74 Duster. We were also
: joined by our friend from Alabama with a
: really nice '65 Belvidere. There was also a
: nice '72 Dart that I had never seen before.
: The rest of the field was the usual cast of
: characters, Joel Harris and his '69 Valiant,
: Seymour Pederson and his '62 Valiant, and my
: Duster. A nice turnout of cars for an event
: in the Midwest!
:
: The round one winners were Brent, Mike, Joel,
: the red Duster, and myself.
: Round two saw Brent get the Bye Run, Joel
: disposed of the red Duster, and for the
: second week in a row, I had to run Mike. I
: got him last week, but it was his turn this
: week.
:
: Round three, Mike got the Bye, and Joel got
: around a red-lighting Brent to be in his
: second Slant final of the year. (In only 2
: tries!)
:
: In the Final, Joel's luck ran out as Mike put a
: whuppin' on him at the tree and cruised to
: the victory. (Pictures to follow)
:
: Thanks to all the Slanters (and Rambler owner)
: for giving this race such a good showing for
: up here! Dennis
