I love this stuff, what a great idea to help us get through the winter doldrums.

Sam,

That first photo is me in my JSR at Lock Haven. 1982.

Back in those days the J's raced a smaller course...not going under the bridge.

Dean- Same motor?

Dana- we might be toying with that idea again(turn before the bridge). Personally, I think it would work out great for building up more spectators.

Dana, 1982 wow, I was born in 82! GL

[dholt]

Yeah, Greg. '82 was my 6th year of racing.

Had a great weekend there. Won all 3 days of JSH and would have swept all 3 days of JSR but got DQ'd for bearing away on 3rd day of JSR. Won a sweet water color painting of hydros for winning Hydro hi points for the weekend...which I still have. I believe were painted by Walt Gladkowski. Troy...sound right?

RC Hawie won the runabout hi-point.

Bogus call. The finish line was the exit pin of turn 2. I was in 1st...letting it slide out to the finish. Who tosses a kid in JSR for bearing away????

As I recall, the ref was Phil Charland. But who's keeping track?
