Larry,
Karen will be happy to know I'm not the only one with a HWFM trailer story. Last year I was putting my car in the trailer for the evening and forgot that I had borrowed the small jackstands from under the back to a fellow racer. Karen was in the front clinging to the toolbox when I stood the trailer on end. I think you can imagine the look on her face on her trip up and then back down. Sort of like teeter-tottering with a fat guy.

Mike,
Good news! Not only was I pokey at Sebring but I spun in T1 a couple laps from the end of the enduro. A real Danny Sullivan moment. Save it...save it...no saving it...both feet in...eyes closed....big hit coming....big hit coming...good bye new cup car....NO HIT...NO DAMAGE!!!!YEHAAAA!!LET'S GO!!!

At least she was holding on with both hands and not able to give me hand signals if you know what I mean.

No video but a bunch of witnesses. Kelly Moss had the last pit stall so they had a perfect view and Karen was watching from the top of the motorhome right where I spun. I've been properly harassed.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure I nailed the apex.

Rick - you don't understand. You are not "doomed" to a life of slow, rather as a member of HWFMR you are COMMITTED to a life of slow. There is a huge difference.

Best,

Something fishy about this club. Out of 125 members, 47 are drivers and the rest are Directors. If I get this straight, it's all about beer and being slow...... Wow! my kind of club.

Some of us simply listed what we do best, not everything we do! Besides, I am a drover. And BTW, I'm a Chief...never had any "Direction" you would notice in my life. Of couse someone would need to wake up the Big Turtle and get the damn membership list updated for you to know that!

I'm not a director or a driver on the team. I'm a mere a documenter

Hey, I was just teasing you guys. I was always a little intrigued with HWFMR and how it started. Even though you have members all over the planet, are there any meetings or "special" track events.

Great bunch of people, great club.

Chris - if you were made a member, you could be our official "trailer trash".
