Plus 1 on Thanks Rob and Bob.

For you all that could not be there , this was a real big show . Saturday you could not get anymore karts in the place. There were 8 to 10 on the track at all times and sometimes 10 to 15 waiting on the grid to get out.

Way to much fun !!!!

The cool factor even on 90 degree days was enough to need a jacket, HaHa. Wish everybody could have been there to enjoy. That means you Ron and Sue. Thanks again Rob,Bob,John and everyone else who made it work thru all of their upsets. See you next year.
Later Mike

Thanks guys we had a great time . Great to see people we know and to put faces to people we have talked to . As always Rob Bob and the rest of the crew put on a first rate event . Thanks again guys for your efforts .

There were at least 25 Power Products powered karts . Guess there are a few people that bleed red ....

Jack and Torque fielded a rockin Clark motor ( based on a 81/82 Power Products motor ) very cooool ....

We also want to thank Hank and Marilyn Rotroff for talking care of us when we went to visit with them . First rate people .

Brian,

It was great to see You, Dottie and Shadow again.

Rumor has it that there is going to be even more Power Products next year since Ralph Spithaler won the Jack Cannaday prepped PP-58 Bonus Raffle motor and Jack also made delivery to some Ohio no-name guy a fresh Palmini shod PP-58. Got these spy photos of the OHIO no-name guys motor plus a rumor that Betty liked Ralph's new motor so much she swiped it from him.

I would also like to thank Rob & Bob for all they do to put on this event. As most know I'm a rear engine guy and seeing just about every kind of engine we had back in the 50's and 60's is unbelievable. I've been at this event a few times and I think the total numbers of karts and people will set a new record.

Thanks also to all who bought Bob Lapke's stuff. I didn't sell everything but almost. The pricing was fair and you guys bought the stuff. I'm picking the Airheart and Margay parts up this Thursday and will have them at Quincy and Delmar.

The food was excellent for such a short notice and enjoyed by all. I had Bob's shirt collection at the dinner and it went fast; we donated $206 to the Zambia Medical Mission in Bob's name.

PS; I uploaded about 175 pictures on Monday and when Jeff gets done massaging them everyone will see what I'm talking about.
