Allan Faust Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 That's what I'm wondering..... who won???? Where are the pictures????? I'm betting on a photo finish.... Allan Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Allan, I'm assuming they did complete the race. After all, lunch was several hours ago. Quote
Guest rockabillybassman Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 C'mon guys.... inquiring minds need to know! Quote
Allan Faust Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 I bet them wings went down well Norm..... I'm just wondering if Bob wore a blue shirt with a safari type hat, because I think I saw him on the video of the raising of the plymouth...... Allan Quote
1just4don Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 You know when they race hosses they always select the smallest jockey to ride, to give them an edge. Me thinks from pics of both,,,Pete has THIS racers edge going for him. All other things being equal,,,its 'Pete' by a bolt length,,,based on that advantage!!! Otherwise I have known guys who can wrench an advantage to THEIR side,,,who's the BEST wrencher?? Da bigger jockey who know the tricks of the trade by virtue of his YEARS of experience,,or the more 'youthful' exuberance of the Blueskies guy??? Time to 'do it' and tell!!! At least in their minds!! Dont think ANY harm would come of a REAL race to cap off the great week down there!!! Even a 100 yards, would be a time to remember when!! Has to be a location that would WORK, somewhere down there,,,BUT who is doing the prerace rubdowns to keep the muscles from being TOO tense??? Quote
PatS.... Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Maybe they should leave the cars parked and have a 100 yard dash on foot to work off the wings and Shlitz Quote
Allan Faust Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 I think that what the great thing about the BIG RACE is that once one of em wins it..... it'll be another long time of hearing about it until the next BIG RACE to even things up...... After which comes the rubber match, etc..... Allan Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 Pat, the guy with the blue shirt and safari hat was Johnny S. He was there with his very nice 49 Plymouth 2 seat coupe. We watched the raising of the car from the comfort and dryness of the convention center where there was a real big screen. Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 I will let the third party (Bob Toft) make the big announcment. Pete did give me this terrific wall hanger. Pete also took a picture after the BIG RACE but he said something about doing some photoshop work before he posts it. Something about putting his car under the checkered flag. We will see what he does when he gets home. I won the race for arriving in Tulsa first. Pete won the race for driving the longest distance. But Bob will announce the outcome of the race. We all had a great time and it was terrific to finally have a face to face meeting after all these years of bickering with my good friend and ARCH RACE RIVAL Pete (blueskies) Anderson. We had lots of laughs. Quote
Allan Faust Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Posted June 17, 2007 That is great that you had a fantastic time.... that is more important than anything else Except maybe more pics for us!!!!!! Allan Quote
