LCS Retrospective

[Dirty Harry]

Good show, OCC! Thank you for being the great hosts you always are. The old #80 Cobra-esque strugglebuggy made it home without a hiccup. Thanks to Shell Valley for making a durable car. (10th London Cobra show event) The wife and I are burned to a crisp.

I've gotten tired of getting rained on while driving over or back, so this year I invested in a full rainsuit. IT WORKED! We barely got rained on at all. At one point it looked like we were going to drive into a real toad-strangler, but it broke up and let us be with just a couple drops.

We took the Mohican tour and liked it a lot. I got a noise in the transmission tunnel that sounded terminal, but closer inspection revealed that a Wal-Mart shopping bag had blown under the car and was wrapped up in the rear U-joint. We met some really great new people and spent some good time with friends from previous years. Great refreshments and conversation at QSL. At London, I enjoyed just lying back in my canvas chair, just listining to the roar of the burnouts. Thank God for internal combustion. I tied for last place in the drawing for the raffle car again this year. The Holiday Inn was nice, and the pancakes were as aerodynamic as before. Took the long way home, adding about 100 miles to our trip, but leading us through scenic small towns and no interstate highway driving.

This is my summer vacation every year, and thanks to OCC, it was as enjoyable as ever. Congratulations to the lady that won the car, and I hope OCC can write a big check to CF.

See you all next year.
