Re: The St. Clair Pictorials
In the night, somewhere in Ohio, Blue Nutz catches up with Black. When we started, the Krazy Kubans were 100 miles back. Now they are ahead of us. If that's an omen for St. Clair, then we don't want it.

The Nutz have landed! The parking lot of the St. Clair Shopping Plaza has been converted to the Dry Pits for the race.
Conspiratortionists, take note: Blue Nutz, a.k.a. Wild Card #4, is being pulled by a Typhoon vehicle!

Did Larry drive with Willie or does he fly in at the last second like a rock star?
Peconic, they didn't let you drive the motor home again, did they?

Re: The St. Clair Pictorials
Larry is a rock star, and he's here. He drove with the boyz.
And no, no motor home driving for me, none whatsoever. Trophy Butch advanced to star driver status, though. I guess, my driving makes him shine.

Registration took place at the local bowling alley. The Grattons and Jim Richardson grabbed the opportunity to bust some balls.

Today, OSS boats will test. According to OSS rules, teams must have passed physicals, and helicopters must be in the air for testing.

Re: The St. Clair Pictorials
During the drivers meeting, your correspondent was found with a bleeping cellphone. As it is customary at OSS, the offender had to stand in the corner throughout the meeting.

During inspection, certain teams have their engine computer pulled and checked for infractions. Steve Lippenkott of Mercury tested Team Typhoon's computer, and it checked out ok.
