Post subject:  Talked to Howard Davis
I spoke to Howard Davis this evening. He won't be able to make the race. He grenaded his engine at Indy last weekend. :(

He did mention a "Grudge Match" with Barry Harrison though... :wink: Something about a case of beer,... a baby bottle,... :lol:

He also said that he plans to build another Slant 6 with some very serious parts in it. :shock:

I'll keep in touch with him and report on progress. :D

Post subject:  Thanks Fred and Barney!
Rob and Lou, thanks for shakin' the bushes and promoting slant six racing. I think both of you may be nominated to be inducted into The Order of the Slant - once I figure out what exactly that is! Could be a ceremony at the banquet. Prolly like the Order of the Waterbuffalo.

You're one of the featured vehicles in the highly sought after and much anticipated "Slant 6 Racing" Calendar! :shock:

So, it would be very appropriate (and much appreciated) if you were to attend the very event that the calendars are made to support... :wink:

How's that fer some arm twistin'...? :lol:

Post subject:  Moving Charlie up the list. :-)
I called Charlie to confirm his intentions to attend and he's comin'. :D He also tried to make it to Bristol, but had to turn around about 130 miles from home with some tire issues on his little Toyota Pick 'Em Up Truck. :( He's got that worked out now, so we'll see him at Clay City. :wink:

That's all Top 5 "East Coasters" that will be there battling it out to see who comes out on top for the National Championship! :shock:

Rodney and Alanna have changed their plans to be there both days after Rodney won both days at Bristol. He wants to tie things up with Ron Hamby and add a third National Championship to his belt. :wink:

That's too bad Jon. I know how that goes.

We've had a ton of un-planned expenses lately as well. I'd list them all, but it's too depressing. :lol:

Good luck with the repairs on the Dart. I hope all goes well.

We'd love to have you come and hang out with us under the big shade trees with or without the Dart. :wink:

Post subject:  Woo Hoo!! Norm's comin' too! :-)
This is really startin' to come together! :D

Norm and Elaine Foster are gonna try to get their grandson's Scamp put together and come racin' with us too! :D :D

I'm heading down there this evening to pick up the Challenger and other schtuff, so they'll finally have room in the garage to Git R Dun.

I'll help Norm with the Scamp before I head back up North. :wink:

Post subject:  Free Entry for Rookies!!
Any Rookie Racers that show up and race with us at Clay City will have their $40 entry fee paid! :shock: :D

Post subject:  It keeps gettin' better and better! :-)
This Roll Call gets better every day! :D

Norm posted in Social Corner that he has the intake and headers mostly in his grandson's Scamp and he's tearing into the brakes now, so I'm removing the :?: from him and Elaine. :D

I'm also taking my last :?: off! :shock: I'm going for it and will spend every evening and weekend getting the Duster ready.

Bobby Rogers PM'd me and said he has his new 4 barrel and headers on and hopes to make it to a Test & Tune before Clay City! :D He was the promoter for the Clay City race for several years, but never raced himself. :shock: I guess that makes him a "Rookie" and I'll be paying his entry fee. :wink:

I also got another PM from Gene McRill (62 alum) from Kansas City saying that he plans to come! :shock: :D Gene raced with us at Kearney last year with his '66 Valiant. He's comin' to hang out and do some "Bench Racin'". :wink:

So, to the rest of you out there reading this that are on the fence about getting your car ready and comin' to race with us... "Git R Dun!!"

We're only a couple cars away from a 50 point race! :shock: :D
