Do Regattas count as races?

Gilles .... I want to thank you for suggesting this opportunity to allow me to open my extensive photo library of beauties and cars. However .. don't let Smokie know.  He has a heavy hand on the delete button.
Do boat races count also

And a rear fender of one of the Sebring attractions.

The only relation to automobiles is that .......... at Sebring, beads have a special value. Now if you look close you will see this lady wearing beads. OR CHAINS .. who gives a crap..

And of course the 'pit crew'.

Certainly the safety of seatbelts must be considered

This was not Sebring but there is a car involved.

OK !   Girls and cars related    This was taken at Sebring. Does it count?  

Home , Home on the range .................
Yippee Y OH KY AAAA ............
GAB has the banner ......... I dropped him off at 2 PM Monday Miami time. I'm fortunate that I can say I don't remember when I had such a good time. A couple of the guys don't remember nuthin'.
Damned Aston's ..... first time out ain't supposed to do that.
And didn't it rain children !!!!!   However we all dried out just in time to freeze our butts off.

The preacher was up on the pulpit giving his sermon. As he was, the doors opened wide and in walked.... in all her glory....... the local party girl. Man she was confident. She was as pretty as can be and all of the women in the church just looked hard at her and then at their husbands. The preacher became agitated because of her nerve to insult his church and his congregation by barging in the way she did.
He changed his sermon to siut the new situation that had just presented itself. He said to the congregation ' We all know the wages of sin .... we all all know that the unrepentant sinners will end up in eternal damnation ... we all know that we cannot flaunt ourselves in front of the Lord.  And now we have one amongst us who does not hesitate to flaunt herself here. We know who she is we know where she will spend eternity .......... but remember women there is always a chance for redemption ......... always remeber in his search to let sinners into the pearly gates he will help you.  Remember ....... Saint Fingers is pointing his Peter at you.

The new priest of the parish was hearing his first confessions. The first fellow came in confessing that he had spent illicit times with the local party girl naming Nookie Green. The priest gave absolution and then in came another fellow also confessing that he partied with Nookie Green. The priest was surprised........ Almost every man in town who confessed to him had a relation with Nookie Green.
On Suday as he was holding the service ... his first .... he heard a minor commotion behind him. He hesitated looking around but when he did he was taken aback. For there wakling down the aisle was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. But the way she was dressed was fantastic. She wore a wide brim summer hat in the greenest of green color one could imagine. She wore a tight fitting matching green dress, with green silk stockings and shiney green patent leather shoes. She came right down the aisle to the front row and took one of the seats. But she did not cross her legs as he might have expected. He glanced back again and again.  Finally he bent over to whisper to the altar boy ' Is that Nookie Green?'  The altar boy turned around took a long look and replied 'No Father, that's the reflection from her shoes'.

I'll be working to get the Club Arnage banner up Wednesday morn. Asyou enter coming down the main road look over to the left. If you pass the toilets and medical infirmiry(also on the left ), turn around and look over to the right. Not in the toilet ............... behind it.

Aw c'mon guys .............. it was tongue in cheek about the Andrettis'.  
But Fax I gotta dissagree with you.  A seven car wreck tells me it's gotta be pretty hairy out there when those cars are open wheel to open wheel. There's no quarter after a  mistake, bad move, slide, collision or whatever. On a road course you go fast until you slow down for a turn,. In the Nextel crap a guy can push, bump, tow, slam ........... lots of things . but he's in a cocoon and he's going slow.(compared to the Indy and Champ cars on an oval.)  Frankly I found it to be real exciting.   SO THERE !

I had the great good fortune to attend the race at LM in 2002. And you all are correct. I had ants in my pants for weeks before the departure time.  But I'm packed for Sebring and ready to go.

Flags are great    cept .......  most flags, unless they look the same from both sides, like flags of most countries, can only be read from one side. If you make them double sided, then they may be too heavy to wave.
