Had some suggestions that the chapters might be dumbed-down a little. Think we lost Dale in the Native American treaty chapter, or maybe is blocked from Internet?

This week boss got a new green Stang. She already had the ’67 Black one shown here. Roger & I are ripping out the straight six. Think a 427cc would be nice. I guess everybody wants a Mustang. There is no substitute!

The ’41 Plymouth Coupe is for sale. Was to be a “restoration project”, if you know what I mean. Lotof potential, Kev. Asking two grand/rot/no run.

Volunteered for some Museum duty showing stock cars at the street party down at the Pepsi Arena prior to the Albany Conquest Arena Football game. Free for me of course. Lost to the Louiville Fire 86-66  (on sides kicks killed us). We brought down New Yorker Richie Evans #61 Modified from the Museum. Richie was the premier Modified national champion but died on the Martinsville (VA) Track in ‘85. This is the only number retired by NASCAR. Silver haired dude is Brian Ross, local native, Winston Cupper, and Hall of Famer who drove the the #61 at one time.

In background is Mechanicville’s Cass # 72 Sportsman 358cc sponsored by the Bone 94.5 FM in between runs at the Malta and Fonda tracks. Also local racer Todd Ryan’s #19. The Lone Peaches from Amsterdam performed some solid rock tunes to entertain the crowd.
