For awhile, passengers were OK.
Then they had to have helmets.
Then no passengers in cars running under 14 seconds.

So much for Public Relations at 110 MPH (Page 12, November 2004 Turning Wheels). And we ask ourselves, "what can we do to get younger people interested in the hobby?"
I don't blame promoters Dan or Bob, of course, but our inability to ever again write that story about young Ryne Sanders' 2004 ride in The Plain Brown Wrapper grieves me. Every year at The Pure Stock Drags, Ryne and his Dad Paul find Camp Studebaker and happily remake the acquaintenceship...and you can be sure young Ryne talks up Studebakers anytime the topic is mentioned.
Forum decorum dictates that I quit now while I'm ahead, for I have much more on which to pontificate regarding this topic! <GGG> BP
