Anybody see the little mountain man from Pa. roaming around with a load of AMC factory publications today?

Bob Bender · 10-04-2012, 08:36 PM

Yes Ed he was here and doing well.

Ken Miele · 10-04-2012, 09:51 PM

Ed, I did see and talk to Billy, and I can tell you he was loaded.

Here are a few photos from the cars that were out of their trailers today. Would you let that guy in the Camaro sit in your car?

Ken, could you please elaborate on "loaded"? My fans are going to think that I'm a drunk and my sweetie wants to know who I was out drinking with!

Good morning - Today is it - one hit and on to elims - no excuses .And what a morning it is - sunshine / blue skies - the whole ball of wax .And some frost on the pumpkin as they say in these parts . We go out @ 8:45 - I can hear the Jet running as the Safety Safari is prepping the track for us - tech is open - scales are open - pretty soon the parade of cars warming up will start .........excited ?? You bet - lets get this show on the road .......later .

One last thing - weather - 65 degrees - barometer 29.49 - .40 vp 63% humidity and dropping - 1600 " DA .

Sorry Gary - good inexpensive help is hard to get ............

It looks like some big name DQ's in stock. Because there was only 1 Q pass, it looks like they're out for eliminations. That sucks.
