A-7 Corsair model, done by a guy I know. Thought this might bring memories back to CosmoMiller.

MsPerky, prolly this Corsair (F4U), for WW2. Cosmomiller flew the Corsair II. Both awesome planes built by Vought.

I have the same program from the 1976 race. It was the first race of any kind that I had ever been to! I remember traveling to the Glen in my older brother's "tricked out" van. I was a very impressionable kid. It was probably what has lead me to a 25 year membership with the SCCA.

That's neat. Small world.

I grew up hitch hiking by myself 8 miles out of town to a 1/4 mile dirt track every Saturday night. It was a safer world back then.

Well, I found time the past couple weeks to make a model car diorama of my MG garage. Thought I would share it.
