It wasn't just Joe!

Nitro and me did the ladder all by hand took several hours to do. He took one side and I did the other side. I rember the IHRA officials wanted to just do random pairing first round and then ladder. Nitro Joe, Alex, and Myself told'em no way! Not at the U.S. Class Nationals at least.

Jeremy was the brains behind that, trust me, we wanted to make sure everybody was paired. What a great event, but his weekend at Columbus seems to be as hot.

Joe, I was 10 years younger then and the heat didn't seem quite as bad.

I had a kidney stone that weekend, (and was less than friendly to several folks) , but I still consider it a great event.

Best fun..we didn't have a car together. Never forget the [just around the corner] 3 mile golf cart ride to Teuton's country club well after dark...and BACK! Bill Brewbaker..Lynn Balek..Rick Johnson

Dave,,, I remember seeing coverage of the event in a magazine also,,but I can't remember what title. SS&DI ceased existance in May of '99,, so, it was obviously another publication, since the race was held in July of '01. Still,, it was a fun weekend.

I was hoping your trip to Cordova just deleted me from your memory!

(Anticipated response: "WHAT trip to Cordova"? LOL!)
