    That was my evil twin who hasn't been seen since 1976.

    The funniest part of that was when I would go to the local park to play basketball, the black guys would yell "Here comes our albino brother!" :eek: :cool:

    Do the Commadors have an official websight? Thats where these pics need to go. We ought to get Stefan to open a catagory where all us older guys can post our high school pics without identifying who they are & let us guess. Now thats entertainment.

    Maybe we should start an Afro Registry.

    By the way, Barry, can I borrow your rake?

    It's not a rake, it's a pick, and no you can't borrow it! That may come back in style someday.and I'm gonna be ready.

    Man you guys are killing me with those pics LOL!!! :D

    Oh yea, I remember what I wanted to post now. Craig count me in on the drags!!!

    It looks like you might not get the response you want here on the fourm, but you know at the 02 nationals it seemed like everyone there said they would.

    I think there will eventually be more than 10 and it will be cheaper.;)

    Willie makes nine on my list.

    I am sure we will have a few more as we get closer to the event. BTW....they are installing a stop light right at the hotel entrance...so it will make it easier to get bunched up together and head out on the day crusie. Plus, we can use the light for a "Christmas Tree" if you know what I mean.

    If my car is done, and it is looking like it will, I will also participate in the drag racing. Can we drag race in the motel parking lot too? :p
    Dan
    ps my car will not be done done, it will be together, but not done. I dont think it will ever get done, I keep thinking of different stuff all the time and just keep adding to what I am doing.
