The first stop on our recent family vacation was Beech Bend drag strip in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to see the Hot Rod Reunion and the associated Vintage Drag meet. It was spectacular. This little video I made is a compilation of some of the rails we saw that weekend.

I love this video ... the bodybuilder is Colette Nelson . And, here are the outtakes ...

This is today's Episcopal "church" ... "John Bennison groomed me over time to be his sexual toy," said Martha. "He was very exacting and specific in what he expected in technique. It was progressive over time. It eventually grew to include everything you could possibly imagine."

Even though we broke in Düsseldorf, being a part of this great race is still a huge thrill for me and Eliot.

Here is a photo of some maintenance being done to the Thingie slot cars: And here is the link to the Proxy Diaries ...

Unfortunately, the Anglican Beach Party Mongoose slot car broke in the Düsseldorf race. A wire came un-soldered from the motor. Alas! Nevertheless, in the spirit of Thingie camaraderie , I present to you a short film by Chris Bruyninx, a Thingie co-conspirator of ours from Belgium, which features oldish geezers like myself playing with 40-year-old toy cars on the Düsseldorf track .

Part 2 is here ... And here is Part 3 So far, she is up to Part 4. Hat Tip: Billy Ockham

This is the 2nd year in a row, at the invitation of CEMA (and High & Mighty II team) member Bob Lees, that Eliot and I have attended the Chrysler Employee Motorsport Association Charity Car Show. It was great last year, with a lecture by the Golden Commandos race team from the 1960s, and it was great again this year with Jack Smith, the former Plymouth Product Planning Manager, who brought to birth the 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner. Here is a photo of Jack, emphasizing a point of the Roadrunner's history ... And here is a short video we took of some cars at the event ...
