Thanks Bob for finishing up. What happen on your track from an average of 5th to a 12th place finish. Hats off to all competitors. Congratulations to Bob and Clem. Um last 3 tracks took me out 7th 8th and 12th. I needed a win and didn't get it. Two 2nds and a 3rd in the first 3 races. Hope everyone had fun.

We were just talking about this fun run while traveling to another club for a joint race today. Glad to see BTaylor with the the overall win and congrats to him and Clem with the 2nd place. It was cool to see these old cars running again... I should have put some more effort into the mechanics, at least as much as I put into the deco.

NEPA cars made it back safely as well. Thanks for a fun little race series. These were some of the most fun cars we have driven in a while... Speed was not there, but that made for a better race overall!

My Seagrams / Quaker Cinema car made it's way back home safe and sound yesterday as well - thanks for setting this race up Bob! It was a LOT of fun to race these - as the action was VERY close! :D

Well I found out why my car went backwards the last three races. The front axle was not turning properly. My front axle adjustment had a hot glue failure. This caused the glue to start wrapping around the axle. I'll us CA glue next time.

Bob will we run these cars again? I hope so.
