Rally News
• I left out the (former) Jackelope's Wild West: Mark Wilkie/ Brian Fradenburg
finished 12/11th on each day's divisional. They learned the fine art on
nonverbal communication when the intercom broke (hand signals...). Lady Luck
kept the clutch from breaking until the finish of the last stage of the
weekend! •Raindrop Rally last word- despite a substantial donation by Vince Plancich,
the treasurer says we didn't break even. •Solo II at Kent: RASC has the concession stand at the National-level cone-
crusher competition at Boeing's Kent facility. Terry Simons is in charge, and
looking for some cooks and helpers with the Health Dept.'s license. Y'all come
out to help. •Saturday Niter- RASC has the August Saturday Niter (August 15). A tiny
rebellion is brewing within the club though- some folks would rather find a
different course than Nolte's choice of one that finishes in Renton.

Trivia
• Vince spent a weekend in the deep South, went to "The Winston" race at
Charlotte. It wasn't a points race, just for money. This area of North
Carolina is HQ to the majority of the NASCAR teams; he wandered around looking
into windows. This is expected, and okay. But before a big race, the shops
shutter themselves to practice pit stops.
The closer you look, the more the cars look like race cars. Heck, they have
to put something on top of the racing chassis, why not a "Detroit" appearance?
The "headlights" on the cars are decals.
Vince took a radio scanner, and the conversations he heard were quite
entertaining. He'd find headsets that cover the ears next time, since the race
is loud and the little earplug speakers get uncomfortable after a while.
•Yes, that's Gordon Cady's Studebaker on page 53 of the April issue of
"Cruzin' ", a northwest-oriented street rod rag.
•After an extended illness, Vince's mother died on May 31.
•Cristy Breazeale had surgery on her pinkie toes, removing some inconvenient
bone structure.
