I want to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Al Chuck for once again
taking the time and effort to take all these photos, post the photos and info on Facebook,
and allowing me to share them here on OWH's Slot Car Talk.

Al has been helping provide OWH's "Almost Live" coverage of the Nats since 1998...
and few people realize how crazy it can be to take all these photos & upload them...
while also building for himself as well as for friends & customers...
and also racing, thrashing, pitting, glueing, turn marshalling...
AND... being able to catch up with friends from all over the planet!

And don't forget... Martians need to EAT also! (and sometimes even sleep!) LOL

Thanks again to an awesome racer, builder, reporter, all around nice guy,
and my good friend "Owl Chump" aka Al Chuck!!!

Your welcome Paul! I'm always glad to help out the "almost live" coverage slot car events that I have been able to attend. It does get hectic at times and keeping the Martian feed is a big job too!!!
