'Bout time you got off your keester. - Last time I remember you were working on the hood.

You've probably got 'Benny & the Jets' running through your head after seeing the show again. The guy I'd bought my '69 Camaro from was trying to clone it into a copy of the car from the movie despite the fact the year was wrong. He managed to find out which company had made the flares and put a set on it. Most guys today would consider fender flares taboo but they did look good on that car.

I never developed much of an interest in the Indy cars. Back in the 70s one of my cousins worked for a company that performed non-destructive testing on the parts for some of the teams. He said he could get me into the pits for the 500 but I passed on the opportunity. Looking back, I kick myself now.

Glad the Scamp is getting some of the dust stirred off it.
