And don't forget that occasional 1.5-inch firecracker or M-80 that would always get the job done! ~VB

And don't let your sister pick them up because she always tore off a bumper or a wheel... But she was kind enough to give you a piece of her material to make seat covers. Then the fringe was missing off my doll blanket! You guys sure had fun while 'sisters' got high on the smell of the glue. Yes, my brother was big into models, too.

Tim-- Your #3 Chevelle reminds me of Wade Childers' Cheytown Hustler that he ran at BCS. Nice job! ~VB

Hey, Olen! I'm happy that the video you picked was only a POS Jeep-heap model and not a vintage race car. ~VB

Listen and faintly hear the announcer say, "Ladies and gentlemen, the line up for the trophy dash," and the place would erupt with the mix echoes of cheers and boo's...Remember...
