Just a bit of trivia here, and to keep Yards & Yarns on page 1.!!!!!!!!! I see there are 3 threads that are now in the exclusive '10 grand club'. 'Images from my past' has just powered away from everyone with 17,000 hits; 'yards and yarns' follows with 12,000, and 'lost race cars' in 3rd place with 11,100. Shellsport cars knocking on the door with 9,200. Is surprising that some threads you might have thought would be popular, have just died and gone to heaven. Quite a lot have had only one reply and a few have had NONE....Amazing. Steve, you must be very happy with the way this has all turned out, after all there are other similar forums out there, but the thing that strikes me on roaringseason, is the general friendliness of the participants. I know I have put my foot in it sometimes, and I have been 'shot down', but in the nicest possible way......vigourous discussion is encouraged and insults are not. By the way Steve, why have I been elevated to the exalted position of....semi-pro racer????? All very flattering but people who know me might question that position!!!
