Nice trophy. I managed to squeak in 18 at my club - yes, 73°F felt very comfortable. Tomorrow will be a soaker.

It's shaping up to be a nicely well-defined Nor'Easter.

Nice job! Can honestly say I've never seen a Christmas theme trophy before, very seasonal and unique!

Santa Clause dropped by for this show riding on a fire truck. I sat on his lap and told him a list of parts I wanted for the 442 this year. Also, reminded him I didn't get anything I asked for last year.

I hope no one got a pic of you sitting on Santa's lap. If they did, it might end up costing you some $'s!

Bubba, your best bet is to get a nice ralley pack and have it restored. I doubt there are any NOS of those around, and, if there are, be prepared to pay 6 large.

My father recalls he was at a dental meeting function, and there was a Santa for their kids. A lady was there with no kids, there was a lull, and Santa invited her over,
and asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She sat on his knee and said, "A man," to much applause of the inebriated amassed dentists.

The PROBLEM here is the fact you sat on his lap! What were you thinking?
