hey Paul,

Say hi to Lou Pirro and all the guys I met in San Fran, for me. Also tell Chris Rad to stop mucking around and win 24Euro. I have got a week's wages on him, so about $10

Hope you all having a great time, great racing, and most of all great socialising.

Brian.

Good job, William and Jason!!! I guess those Florida Div2 racers know how to win.....

Paul

**brianl** · 04-10-2003, 09:14 AM

Paul,

Say hi to John T for me!

Thanx,

**MSWISS** · 04-10-2003, 09:41 AM

Paul K./Mom,
Time saver idea serial #001
Get on the P.A. system at the race and announce to all racers:
"Anyone that you ever have raced with that isn't here says HI &
WAY TO GO"

**kaboom** · 04-10-2003, 10:05 AM

Hey Mike, tell all of your competitiors I wish them all the best of luck.......

**brianl** · 04-10-2003, 10:08 AM

Good Idea Mike, besure to say hi to anyone from me.....

**oldweirdherald** · 04-10-2003, 05:17 PM

My apologies for falling behind a bit in the "Almost Live" coverage, but following the Expert GTP race today was the USRA Div II Meeting.

Mike - thanks for the suggestion, you cracked me up!

I'll have to get on the PA soon and do what you suggested.

Now... I've got some catching up to do, and better get busy typing up the Expert GTP results and upload the pix, as well as the results of the Div II Meeting.

One little spoiler that I simply can't wait with, however...

Your Old Weird Web Host next year will be your Old Weird Div II Nats Host, as Raceway USA in Portland Oregon, managed by yours truly, has just won the vote to be the host of the 2004 USRA Div II Nats!!!!

Details and other meeting news to follow soon...

Right now I'm one very happy camper!!!

**PDM1** · 04-10-2003, 05:19 PM

Congrats, it looks like an awsome facility. Now all we need is webcam coverage for next year.

Paul

The earlier information we received, indicating that Duran Trujillo had been DQ'd was INCORRECT.

Besides all the "XX sends YY his love" postings, and the almost up-to-date results

will Paul Ciccarello be in attendance at this year's 'Flats'??

Enquiring minds need to know

**oldracer2** · 04-10-2003, 06:11 PM

Way to go Paul!! Congratulations on winning the Nats bid for Raceway USA in 04! I'm sure it will be a great show!
Also want to say good job of covering this event. Was it really that cold that Lee and Herman had to wear coats in the building??
Keep up the good work.
