NickHolt Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 (Posted for Randy Larson) We took this shot before the last race this year at Thunderhill and I though it would be great to show everyone at least four of the aircooleds for next year. And you thought they were extinct, but here they come again, the Dinosaurs! ............. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Larsen Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Oldtimer,I hope to get a picture of all the aircooleds on march 3rd, and it would be great if you got in the shot also,now you got to remember getting in the picture means that you have a soft spot for the old dinosaurs ..............could this mean that Oldtimer really likes the old bugs,even though he talks about raid and leaking oil ???????..................tune in..............Randy#53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Larsen Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I almost wish I could be a crew chief for all the aircooleds and stand back at the races to watch how they run so I can help with suspension setup,lap times etc......................but then again I also want a first place trophy and the bragging rights for a win in the Pro Sedans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................And I think good ole Herb might take it personal if I even considered putting someone else in the driver seat(well my oldest son is 10,maybe he will take over when I lose my hand to eye coordination )come on march 3rd................Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tps48 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I think if we Pro Sedans get 6 or more air coolers at a race, we should put on an exhibition race for bragging rights. What do you say Randy? ( of course I would have to pull the pipsqueek out of 78 for that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
