Norm I will bring your Hooker Comp. headers over to the Banquet if you want. They would not fit my Valiant due to the A/C mount. Sorry they wont work I sure wanted to use them. Maybe someone there will want to buy them. Ron Hamby |

I just called the Valley Forge Inn for an update on reservations. Here's who we're expecting as of today: Ron & Kay Hamby Charlie Schmid Seymour Pederson Lou Madsen Ron & Judy Parker The whole Bruner Clan The Terrible Trio from Indy (Wayne, John and Kenny) Gerald Wright Me There wasn't another reservation for Sam (slantfish) and Norm and Elaine Foster's reservation was cancelled.  Sorry you won't be able to make it Norm and Elaine. Sam, could you check on your reservation to make sure you're good to go? I will be calling the Valley Forge Inn on the 15th to cancel any reserved rooms not spoken for at that time. There are some other folks that I anticipate coming. Some have said they're coming and others I just assume will be there... The Covalt Clan from Waynesboro, PA Larry & Ellen Chesney Rodney & Alanna Hargis I was hoping that the 50 or so invitations I sent out would bring in a couple more folks, but I haven't heard from anyone... Hey Charles! It would be great to see you and the family again! We might even have time to talk this time! Remember not to wear shorts!  It's kinda cold in TN right about now...  Hey Leighton! Quit reading this and make a reservation!

I got a nice letter from Mr. Pete McNicholl! The former "Ramcharger" won't be able to make the banquet this year, but said he would like to attend future banquets! He can't come this year for a couple reasons: He recently had knee replacement surgery and can't make the drive from Michigan so soon after his surgery. He had to move his surgery into the winter months so that he could attend the 10th Annual East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion and Induction 14-16 October in Henderson, NC. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year for his Lifetime Achievement Award for his efforts as a member of "The Ramchargers"! In 1963 he ran a rail dragster with a Slant 6 in D/D class. His best speed and E.T. was 127.86 MPH / 10.66. I'll bring the flyer and list of records he sent me to the banquet. |

Wow! I would love to meet that man. I believe Seymour and Doug have been in touch with him several times over the years. Would be great to get him to next year's banquet!! Maybe he would be interested in giving a presentation on the Slant 6, or any of his Ramchargers (or later) escapades? I met and heard Bob Tarozzi at a Mopar roadcourse event (Spring Fling Speed Festival 2008) and that was pretty cool. Lou |
