SCR10, from the "pres"

[Charley Lillard]

Thanks to the Clareys and all the volunteers for all their hard work. It was a great time. Fun was seeing Kasey go down the strip for the first time in years. He was only gonna make one pass. I tried to bet him 20.00 that he would make more than one. He finished his pass and was right back in the staging lane. Also great to see Darrell make a few passes till Nikki blocked his way back to the staging lane. Darrell had never been down the 1/4 mile before but after the first pass I think he was hooked. I really want to encourage any other Supercar owners that have never done the drag race portion to come and try it. You don't have to worry about being fast or looking stupid because you have never done it before. For me it has turned into a very fun part of the event. Yes it can be a bit intimidating at first but we are there to walk you thru it and I have yet to see anyone not make a second pass once they make that first one. Maybe other first time drag racers can chime in on their experience. You have no idea how hard I worked on Darrell and Nikki, starting at Carlisle. Now I think they are hooked.
Another great part of the weekend was when about 10 of us headed to the go kart track on Sat night. Think Demo derby with track workers looking the other way.......

I was gonna buy a computer keyboard , remove a few certain keys and award it to Kasey at the banquet but it might have tipped him over the edge to///////////PERMANENT--------CAPS((((((((LOCK!!!!!!!!
Thanks to the gang at Legendary Motors for bringing the L89 Nova for us all to enjoy. Thanks to the Supercar Workshop gang for all their hospitality and bringing such great cars. I have a great picture of Caleb Arone here somewhere. A big thanks to Stephano and Nickey for his sponsership and attendance. And a special thanks to all of you that brought your cars. It is the sum of the people and their cars that make this such a fun event.

Also a big thanks to Colin for bringing Kayna and especially for hitting his head on the same shelf in his trailer that I hit while at the Shelby convention....

And a big thanks to Sixtiesmuscle for that huge wheelie in his Nickey Chevelle.
And as usual a big thanks to the old man Barnhardt. A 71 year old that schools us all on the strip running 10.30's while banging a 4 speed...truely a treasure.....

sheeeeez, Lillard...I never noticed your sentimental side before.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess that's what happens when you get old.

Next thing will be hugs and tears.

We must have knocked Charley around too much go karting - I think he took a hard hit to the head? For the record, I didn't hit my head in that damn trailer - it was my back and boy did that smart. But at least I provided some comic relief for Charley and Cana who not only got to enjoy watching me sweat my 's off loading the cars but then watch me double over in pain as I was locking the trailer down

Next year we need Gags back at the go kart event, it really wasn't fair for us to go counter-race and keep ramming Charley and Mike G. Hey, in my defense, I didn't think Cana took me seriously when I pointed to those two guys and said "go get 'em" LOL. Who knew that $35 slipped in the hand of a 18 year old go kart track "official" could buy so much track time and make them look the other way for all of it?? Certainly one of the highlights of the weekend.

One last note: I think we all learned a valuable lesson at the track on Friday- never let your resto guy insist on "concours correct" fasteners for your crank pulley They tend to shear off after a couple of runs and then you have to drive by the smelting plant in St. Louis to get to Bob's Auto Parts to buy a drill bit, and easy-out, and then raid Pete's trailer for bolts and tools. It has been said here many times, but out of all the clubs I am in this group is the most down to earth, fun, and genuine group of true "car guys" you'd ever hope to find.

Oh crap, I must have hit my head too

Here's to many more SCR's!
