Matter of fact we did............Sunday afternoon if I remember correctly. Nobody there does pink...........nor do they pretend it's purple...........

Tell Dan he's doing a great job.....

Thanks Steve and Bob. You are right Steve, I can't wait until the three of us can go out for a little drive. I keep telling Dan he has NO idea how that Olds is going to feel when he puts a little gas to it..........he's in for a real treat.

Bob, the other night I was reading one of my car books, Hot Rods of the 50's, and there were two cars in there I was going to shoot pictures of and post just for you. One was a purple deuce coupe that had a pink and white interior, and the other one was a totally pink deuce roadster. Neither was exactly my cup of tea, but they weren't all that bad either. So, you saw that roadster spin out, huh? He said they all took turns driving it and the mechanic was the one who turned the best speed, but was also the guy who spun out at 190. He says next year they are taking three Keith Black alcohol motors and shooting for 300 mph. The three motors are of various sizes and will run different classes. I have got to go to Bonneville some year. From your pictures it looks like you had a great time. Everybody swears by it.
