I forgot about Betsy and Bloomer, I've felt like crap today and I needed that good laugh! Thanks Jet.

As for the avatar program, I tried to download it last night but it had a problem. If I feel better tonight I might try it again. I think I might have downloaded this a while back and like that certain someone (R.M.) I couldn't get it to work either. BUT.... I'm a lot smarter now! Whatever?

Rob, as of now the Topless is still on! How long are you and Trevor staying in Heber Springs, one night or two?
 
Hey Frank, is the Topless race going to count for the challenge and MARS cup points? Just wondering becuase I seen the picks close pretty early saturday morning and a lot of us will not be able to make any changes after friday nights races since we will be down there, unless our rooms have internet.

It should be like the Show Me and NOT count on the standings. If MARS does wind up counting it, we won't count it since it's NOT a MARS race. The way Clint has the points sheet set up, it's not included. That way if VT does include it, it won't be a big deal to keep it out of the Challenge standings.

NOW if I have a great score, I might change my mind on this tough! :eek: :D

Rob, I've took some Advil and feel a lot better. I've been working on some things for the Challenge this week from a picture LM60Fan sent me. Get this, I learned how to use the scanner!!!!(This is a big deal for me! I am "technology challenged") Now I'm gonna try to upload some things on the group site! If I get this computer stuff mastered, Bill Gates better be watching over his shoulder.

Now get this! I took the picture LM sent me and took it to the paint program and did some work on it. Then I sent it to the Word program and put some Word Art onto it. Then I printed of what I made and scanned it into pictures on my computer. Now I've got to get them on the group site, that's my next challenge. Like I said before, this is really something for me! I know....you all are saying ROOKIE!!!!! My wife, the computer wizard, has helped me so far, but she don't know to much about the internet so I'm on my own from now on. I uploaded a picture once but I don't know how? I think if I work at it I'll figure it out maybe.

Before you got around to say your wife helped you I KNEW she did. LOL But still impressive.
Frank,do you want to meet up with us in line for tickets Friday a little before 3? :director: :partytime
 
I've uploaded a photo album on the group site called VT Awards and such. Right now all I've got are "Winners Tickets" in there. I'm thinking of getting the player who had the highest score in each race one of these, just like the drivers get sticker if they win a feature. Knda makes it more like racing don't you think? LOL Anyway, just something I've been working on this week that I thought might be cool.

Oh yeah, quit egging Bork on! :D :D :D :D
 
Yeah the Topless shouldn't count as far as points its listed as a special event in VT so it shouldn't be a problem.
 
Wow Frank the group site looks great... :dual9mm: :partytime Still taking shots at Bork LOL....
 
The group site looks good frank, kind of reminds me of Marshall Green and Buck Simmions :punkrocke

Aug. 20-TORA @ State Fair Speedway, Oklahoma City, OK

I was informed this morning of some cancellations on the Batesville bus trip. If you are interested, call Great Southern Travel at 1-800-749-7116 or 417-888-4488 and ask for Lou and she'll get you fixed up as Brian is on vacation. You can also email her at
[email protected]
Get in touch with her asap but NO LATER than 10 o'clock Friday morning. If any of you know ANYBODY interested in this trip let them know about this!!!!!

Let's get this bus filled up so we can have these trips again next year! Oh yeah, I've took one of the spots so I'll see you all tomarrow!
 
Thanks again for the old pictures Gene and Bruce! Got some questions. Who is the #1 Dodge car? What about the asphalt cars 73,12 and 1? If I was guessing, I would say the 12 might be Bobby Allison at an ASA race at Springfield, but that's probably wrong.

I don't remeber the old chevelles of Phillips and Goldsberry, that must have been just before I seen these guys race? I could have seen the Goldsberry car and not remembered it but I know I never seen that Phillips car. I do remembr that House of Sound machine though, on dirt. These shots bring back the memories! :beerbang:
 
The #1 is Ernie Derr. The #12 is Bobby Allison. Gene will have to answer on the other two. I didn't frequent the Fairgrounds as much after they went to asphalt.
Also, if you haven't been here already, go to: www.racingfromthepast.com for a real dose of nostalgia. They are updating the site right now, so you might give them a couple of days first. A lot of the pictures aren't showing right now. :)

I was wondering on the way home from Springfield if you would get them made or not. Man, that had to be the longest trip from Springfield to home I ever had, I was TIRED! Glad I made mine before going down or they would have been misssed too.

Bruce, are you through with 4M for good? I guess I'll post anything I think you need to know or get ahold of you over here from now on just ot be on the safe side. I'm still trying to figure out which logo to use for my avatar then I'll get you to scale it down for me. :) I still can't get that avatar site to work. :confused:
 
I've calmed down again. It just irks me to no end that 4m either is slow, doesn't work at all, or they delete legimate posts at will. Unfortunately, with me doing all my racing on the computer I have to go where the news and results are. :(
 
For some reason I'm having trouble with irfanview also, the first time I had it everything was perfect, as of right now can't seem to narrow down the problem... It resizes everything to bitmap format so I switched it to jpeg format still having problems...
 
GRT you need to get down to Batesville to see a race some time. Man that was some of the best racing I have seen in a long time. If you like west plains, you will like Batesville.

Frank, just did miss you when you got there, we had to run, with the crowd coming in the way they were, we were affarid we was going to lose our seats. Did get to see sozo a few times over the weekend, and got to see Ron saturday night. Had a great time down there and cant wait to go again next year.

Always good to see you and oop.I bet I know what you had written on your suv on the way home!

lol, yeah we got a lot of looks on the way down there, and even more on the way back, lol. We were going to change the back from Going Topless, to Went Topless for the drive home, but just left what we had on there. On the way down we passed Darrin Miller and they followed us into Batesville, when we turned off at the Ramada they all gave us a wave as they drove by, that was pretty cool!

Hey everyone......

This message is for those who are thinking about or are planning to go on the bus to the Knoxville Raceway for the 2nd Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals.

I had a meeting with my boss yesterday afternoon and he gave me the permission to give away a free trip! :beerbang: So, this is how it will work....On Sunday, October 2nd, when the bus is on its way back to Missouri, I will draw someone's name/ticket. That person will have his or her trip cost refunded back to them, in other words, a free trip.

You can't win if you don't go!!! :partytime

Brian
 
everyone is saying the same thing. money.

ok everyone how about this for options......

option #1 - going to Knoxville Raceway on Saturday, October 1st for consy's and feature races only. No overnights. cost is $100 per person.

option #2 - going to Knoxville Raceway on Friday, September 30th for races and staying for racing on October 1st. one nights hotel on Friday night. cost is $165 per person, based on double occupancy.

Both of these options will have us leaving Knoxville Raceway AFTER the 100 lap feature to return home. Which means that the motorcoach will not make it to Springfield until approximately 8am on Sunday, Oct. 2.

Please give me feedback on this. I will do whatever the majority wants.

Brian
