Ex-Rookies Bask in the Sunshine!

[FOXBAT]

As has become tradition amongst the knuckle-dragging community, the removal of the garrish orange "Rs" is a time of quiet reflection and sober consideration.

Exhibit A: Scott and his wife remove his orange brand

Exhibit B: The Professor poises with his heat gun

But wait! To his surprise, Wild Billy disconnects his heat gun in an appearent attempt to thwart the big orange Rs removal! And with the gun disconnected, then comes the baptism of Bud!

As Sweet Sue the pre-eminent Pit Boss of Foxbat Racing is recording all the goings-on, the Professor finds help in removing his Rs with Skylar's and Bailey's nimble little fingers!

Congrats guys on the "R" removal!! Ken Rockwell also had his removed.

[FOXBAT]

Ken Rockwell also had his orange Rs removed as well. Point well taken. His absence from the previous post was due to the fact that he and Chris removed those dreaded insignias of rookie-dom so quickly that this photographer could not catch that daring duo in the act! Grrrr.

Little TOMMY BOILEAU got his R's removed too. By the way, he also qualified on the POLE in the RAIN! WOH - HOO !

No, he just jumped the start a little bit and was ahead of me at start/finish for the green flag! :) Seems like a hazard of turn 13 being so tight and it being difficult to stay side by side - I noticed that it happened with a lot of the starts.

Is his car OK?

[Bob34]

What are you talking about? It was qualifying. There was no side by side "start" for the qualifying session. He was on the SM pole by 1.4 seconds. The session was in the rain. What green flag are you talking about? Why would his car not be OK?

Mark is just talking jibberish to himself, it happens when you have no one to race with. ;)

Yeah ain't that the truth - I sometimes forget that here's such a thing as classes! Sorry Tommy (and dad)!

how do you embed images in the message? the only thing I can figure out is how to "attach" them as jpg's.

thanks

If they are hosted online (at like www.tinypic.com) take the link to the image they provide you and wrap it in tags - it would look like {img]www.picturelocation.com/picturename.jpg[/img], replacing the front brace ({) with a bracket ([).
