A Good Ol' Oklahoma Get Together : Early March, 2008, there was a neat "happenin'" in Oklahoma City - a long story, but worth telling in words and pics. My brother, Jac, some 10 years ago, had translated and adapted a French play by Moliere. The play, The Miser, a neat comedic farce, played very well at his Theatre Three in Dallas and thus a theater group in Oklahoma City decided to perform Jac's adaptation. Well! Mom got wind of this and LOOK OUT!! She spent three months calling probably 300 of her closest friends in OKC, not to mention a cadre of old friends and schoolmates of Jac, Bob, Norma, Happy, and Bruce. Thank God for unlimited long-distance phone service! Her ability to keep in touch with all (and actually reach by phone!) of these people is astounding!!!! She promoted the event, arranged for discount tickets, had me making up name tags, and then she, Diane, Norma, and I all flew down for the Saturday/Sunday performances. The play was sensational, funny, and great entertainment. But as Jac said, it was the sideshow. The real show was in the lobby before and after three performances, where Mom held court with all the people who showed up to see the old girl. What a blast. Jac, Norma and I got to see some OKC contemporaries who we hadn’t seen in 40 years! And Mom got to see, and be seen, by everyone. All very cool and many giggles.

Hawaii 2008 : In February we returned to the Hawaiian Islands after a five-year absence. We were fortunate to again spend the first week with our good friends Mike and Kaye Hurtt at their great home on Kauai. In fact, it was a reunion since Diane and Steve Christensen were also there. Five years ago the four of us also visited Mike and Kaye and had such a grand time, a re-do seemed appropriate. Then for our second week we went over to the Big Island. Not having been on the Big Island in maybe 30+ years, it was nice to revisit "Hawaii." Please remember, you can often click on any image to see it in its larger format.

Reno-Fernley HMSA Race : May 4-5, 2007 -- We attended an HMSA event near Reno, NV. The Reno-Fernley Raceway is about 30 miles east of Reno. It's a race track and facility, only about five years old. Our reason for attending was to "hang" with a special grid of H-Mod cars. Diane's Miller was originally an H-Mod car built by Don Miller (Calif.) in the mid-60s. At this event, one of the very first cars built by Don Miller, the builder of Diane's car, was at the event as well as "The Last Miller." Diane's car is very, very similar that "The Last Miller" so we're pretty sure it was one of the last he made, probably in about 1965 (a pure guess).

Grand Prix of Denver : August 11-13, 2006 -- These pictures were taken of of Diane's race at the Vintage Grand Prix of Denver August 11-13. On that weekend, the Champ Car Series (the real pros) had a street race in Denver and the vintage clubs were given the opportunity to put on one of the weekend's four support races. And, Diane was invited by the vintage club to drive in that grid of 42 vintage cars. For more coverage of this event on TeamTerrificRacing.com CLICK HERE.

Erma's Lodge : A 2006 reunion with a childhood vacation lodge in eastern Oklahoma. In October 2006 I got to do something which had been on my mind for many years -- to re-visit Erma Snyder's Lodge back in Oklahoma. In the late 40s and early 50s (probably from age 5 to 10 for me) our family was able to go to Erma's Lodge, the great retreat she built during the depression in the hills east of Heavener, near the Arkansas border. We probably usually went with family friends, the Swains, on most occasions. My memories of the place are so very vivid. . For more coverage of this event on TeamTerrificRacing.com CLICK HERE.

1965 Bobsy SR-3 Project : Late 2008 we purchased a 1965 Bobsy SR-3 Sports Racer (serial #77). There were about 40 of these SR-3 cars built by Mr.Jerry Mong (Ohio). This car used to be owned and raced by Duck Waddle, a well known vintage racer who's owned and raced several Bobsy cars over the years. John Houlton owned this particular car for past five years and we purchased it from him. During the winter of 2008-09 it was refurbished including the fitment of a 1600 Ford push-rod engine. This is the engine of choice for Team Terrific Racing since the same power plant is used in the Titan FF and the Miller SR. An easy decision. Many Bobsy SR-3s have run similar power plants.
