Dang, David. I promise. No more baldy jokes. We're about even, and I'm centuries older.

I can't see my toes.

I can't feel my face.

I'm not sure I can walk.

Lee is face down in his plate with tater tot casserole in his nose.

It took Harry and RazorJon to get me to the couch.

I probably can't hold a controller.

But, I FINISHED it!!!

Are these little pictures from a camera or a phone? They are really sharp. I can zoom in 1200% and still see clearly.

Impressive burgers. I'm inspired to make a pork shoulder for the 4th of July this year.

Lee driving like me:

A little Group C tonight - all powered with M/T-1 motors-perfect!!!

Lee started building an H&R Firebird and we did some rubbing on the oval with these bad boys! Notice his fantastic hand lettering job!

Hard to believe this is almost over. We have a good deal of racing to do in the morning before heading out to the airport.

I like the updates, almost puts me right there. Those were some nice burgers! As Harry says you have to have some salad, and will lay a brat or two on your plate as they do have vegetables in them the jalapenos. :D

This has been a great weekend at HRW and sad to see it coming to a end today. As always the time goes by too quickly on these visits but it has been so much fun. Great to see Dixon John and his wife again and it was great Razor Jon was able to stop by yesterday also. We have some more racing to do this morning before we have to go to the airport but it has just been a great time this weekend!

Like FootScoot said, I like the updates too.

I may not be there physically but I'm there in spirit with all of you.

I hope to some day get down there and join in the fun with all of you and meet you personally.

Thank you again for all the pics and allowing all of us not in attendance to share in the good times!!!

Life doesn't get any better than what you guys got to experience together.

Take care guys and safe travels!

It has been a fun one. Have not done a lot of pic taking as Doc has had the master control well in hand. But here is a few I managed to get.

Ahhhh...I enjoyed the jalopy racing. This was one of the highlights for me. Rob's will be here next week and need to start on Shotgun Dave's 1/32's next!

Image

Not enough food...need a sugar recharge.

Image

What a corporate guy. Thank you H&R Racing, Slot Car Corner & Little Debbie :)

Image

Had some great road racing too. We ran it all...I mean ALL.

Image

Yes indeed, a great time.

Thanks Dave, Lee, Jon & John. We were honored to have you all here for one heck of a slot car weekend!

This seems like the right time to ask something I have been wondering about for a long time...

Is anyone here, or is anyone's spouse, a travel agent? A travel agent that is a friend of HRW could arrange a group rate for a lot of people to make the trip, all at once, to HRW Headquarters. We'd have to stay in a motel- there would be waaay too many of us to invade Harry and Cindy's domicile, and we'd definitely have to pitch in for the food and help with the cooking. We might need to rent a van to transport as many as possible in one trip, and the motel and the van can be tied to the group rate airfare.

What do you all think? Especially Harry and Cindy, after all, its you we would be invading...

Oh yeah, and Harry- what is that red/black car in the infield with its rear pointed at us?

That is RazorJon's 1/32 Camaro. Great car.
