I think "unrestored" was in reference to the owner...

Is Annie the sYc's "secretary?"

Either way, I know it is good to have magazine coverage, but another McClurg comedy of errors?

[ANDY M]

I thought he retired? Most folks just look at the pics, and if they read the article the mistakes seem to just slide by.
He took a bunch of pics of my beater, but no joy.

Yes..Annie is our secretary.

IMO, I thought it was a nice article. I really thought he captured the true spirit of the event in the first paragraph.

<font color="red"> It's a simple concept, which few clubs (let alone sanctioning organizations) seem to grasp--namely, have an event which includes a full day of drag racing, followed by both an indoor concours and outdoor show and shine competition based strictly on fun. That's right. No fancy trophies. No complicated points system. No outlandish entry fee. </font>

As per a comedy of errors, yes, there were a few, but that it going to happen, partly my fault, and here is why. Bob is with us once a year, trying to put names with faces with cars. He does not hang out on here, nor see us at other shows, so often times he is meeting folks, and seeing their cars for the first time, and at the SCR, many new faces with several new cars. At the SCR he shoots 1000s of pictures, does 15-20 ?? feature cars plus an overview of the event. He does take notes, lots of them, but we all know how tricky it can be trying to decipher your hand written notes. Even then, once he gets down to doing the article(s), he has questions. That is where I come in. He will call me from time to time, asking such questions as how many cars were at the track, who ran what time, who owned the Red Deuce, what about this car or that car, etc, which often times I do not know, as I am so busy, and having so much fun, that the SCR weekend is a blurr to me. Also, because I am busy at work, and he needs to meet a deadline, there just is not enough time for Bob to run each and every article he does by me, so he goes with what he has.

IMO, the ideal solution would be for someone to document the whole weekend, taking precise notes, from the golf tournament, to the meet and greet, to the racing, banquet, auction and shows, so a the end of the weekend, Bob, or any other writer needing info could simply contact them to get accurate information. Any takers?

I appreciate Bob and other media folks covering the SCR, and, until we can come up with a better solution, I can live with a few errors, as the main thing, they are there. I counted 26 pictures in the SC article...cool.

I know how Bob feels. Maybe we could get him an sYc dictaphone so he can make verbal notes to himself as he goes?
