That line sure is straight....
.....it does look like a short cut Stan.:D I don't remember what was going on then, but look at Joe...........It must be important because he's taking notes.:;) But then again...it was Joe who threw me out two races prior because we were going too fast for him to respond at the same time to my pickleforks, the cannon and the clock.:rolleyes: He was wearing black and white vertical stripes then instead of the red, white and blue team colors.;)
A momentary pause..........
..............John, I did get your E mail and the one forwarded to Joe, and one from Dean Wilson. I haven't responded yet because even though I can now receive, when I tried to reply to you there was an error message and I have to notify Hughes. It said there is something in the system that is a problem. I can NOW at least bring up the screen to write a message, but how do I NOTIFY THEM? Can't call. Have to go through all that other BS again. I am not computer literate enough to know all the shortcut sign languages, but does POS mean anything to you guys out there?

back to a more positive note.....
.....and that would be Dan's memory.
I had forgotten about that little sandy beach. It was a beautiful and perfect area for pits. Everyone was getting a tan and leisurely rigging up, joking, having a great time all around. The Unlimiteds started to put to the water to test. The photo I took was with a 24 mm lens which I always used in the pits because I felt it closer approximates the human peripheral vision. But it's kind of like the mirror on the passenger side. OBJECTS ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR!
I don't have a shot of Muncey blowing down that turn, but knowing his showmanship and the funster in him, I suspect he knew we would take notice. It wasn't long until we moved.
As it turned out Bill Muncey and Mickey Remund were in a heated race when Muncey's turn fin departed just coming off the bottom turn. He lost it at a point where he knew it and he wasn't turning so he was able to finish, but at a tip toe through the turns at Dayton. But......what if?
