It has been pointed out to me (nicely) that I had not done an introduction. I thought I had that covered , but it went in as a regular thread instead of in the introduce youself forum. See my "27 on 32 rails" post. I really enjoy this forum and try to partisipate when possible. I originally hit on this site 5 or 6 years ago and didn't care for it that much. Maybe I got a few bad nights but it seemed that there was too much burning and not enough building. This time I got on with the Vintage Sprint Car Thread and started paying attention to the rest of the Forum. Hands down I think it beats anything else pushing Traditional , be it magazine , forum , blog, club, general BS sesion with your friends or whatever. My hats off to Ryan for seeing the need for this and following it up..
