Hey Guys just wanted to thank everyone that fought the rain with us this weekend. We received and inch and half of rain on Saturday. I would consider the show a rain out and we still had 230 cars. Stray Kats hate Rain!!! I think this year we had more roadsters in town then ever before. Was that the reason that it rained so much? ha, ha, ha....... Also would like to thank Brian Dunning and the Rumblejetts for the Saturday night. The guys played for five hours and it took me until 2:30 am to get shut down. If you get the chance, check these guys out!!! Also L'l Mike Cook was in rare form again this year. It is a SK 500 tradition to hear him bark out Tripod Man!! Thanks Mike for everything. Sorry to keep it short, I had so many highlights of the weekend I'll post stuff tomorrow. Thanks Again!!! Happy rails, Mick

Thread title: "Stray Kat 500 Thanks guys" It's us that should be thanking you!!! Thanks for a great weekend in spite of the weather. We all know that you worked your butt off, as usual. It's kinda funny, too cold and too wet to really set up and pinstripe, so this is the first time I've actually been able to kick back and enjoy just hanging out. I started to set up with Myers on Sunday, but by the the time I would have gotten setup it would have been over. That didn't stop Myers, but he's a self proclaimed whore!!! Look out next year though, I'll be slingin paint everywhere. I had a blast and enjoyed making new friends like the Dirtys and Thunder Rocket. Thanks again to you, your wife, and Duke and his wife for all your hard work.
Still pickin the mud out of my hair, all with the biggest grin!!!! Thanks Mickey and thanks to everyone who came to enjoy!!!!!!
...this shot is sooo classic, the Dirtys' in front of the Dewey Theater where they used to show X-rated movies in the early '70s'. All the teenage guys used to travel north on Sat night to see the 'Dewey Dirtys' movies. That's what we called 'em back then. I can't believe the guy that owned the theater never got shut down. As a teenager, you could just walk in and pay your money, and he'd let you in! You had to be careful, 'cause there was a lot of perverts that went there also.
