Things overheard at Reunion 2009

[indiana dave]

Heard on the way to the Reunion as I was looking in the rear view mirrors nervously. "What? Are we smoking? What color is it? What's wrong?" among a hundred other questions. LOL
And all the way home. "Is the car going to make it?" "What was that?" "You do have the guys phone numbers right? responding to every little hickup the car made.

Heard at the Reunion from some guy trying to bum some cash for gas so he could get him and his son to Lexington. "That a 351?"
I fealt sorry more for the kid, so yea, I gave him a couple bucks.

Heard in the conference room Sat. night "Was that Elvis or Evil Kineval?"

Waiter at the Waffle house in Richmond to me:

Waiter - what kind of hood scoop is that?
Me - Uh, that's stock. That's an 86 Mustang SVO
Waiter - oh, it looks like a camaro scoop, I wanted one for my mustang.
--------------------------

Random encounter with a guy at a convience store after I filled the tank with that sweet 93 Octane:

Guy - Is that your SVO?
Me - Yes, have you owned an SVO?
Guy - Nope, I'm a Chevelle guy
Me (I've had too many conversations about the SVO with people that don't have a clue, so I cut to the chase) - Do you know what engine is in the SVO?
Guy - Turbo 2.3, intercooled.

We discussed cars some more.

heard at the Auto-X

person on Public Address system - " Dave Sloop, we need you at your corner"

Dave Sloop stands up from leaning over his engine and says " What ?, I'm workin on my car here, its BROKE and I drove it here"

Sloops wife to Sloop: "Do YOU want me to go work the corner?"

I didn't hear what came next and she headed towards the track......

I then drove my car to the starting grid to take another lap and bettered my time from the previous lap....

Heard on way to the Reunion:

"What's that ticking noise?"

HAHA

Even I know this one. You're a cruel guy Pat...

[chalkys_explorer]

I worked that corner with Dave's wife. She's a very nice lady.

And yes, pat's a devil!!!!!!!!

Heard on way to the Reunion:

"What's that ticking noise?"

The correct aussie quote was, "What's that tapping sound?"

Another good one caught on video:
"They do service where they hire the Spanish to clean up the hotel rooms."

[indiana dave]

" didn't hear what came next and she headed towards the track......"
She's a trooper... she loves being out there seeing the cars up close. I know she wishes it wasn't as cold though. LOL
She said something like "Those Aussies are a hoot-n-a-half" refereing to Chalky.

I worked that corner with Dave's wife. She's a very nice lady.

And yes, pat's a devil!!!!!!!!

the correct way to say it is, Pat is the DEVIL!
and yes, Stacey is a hoot to hang out with!!
I think I have more fun watching her auto-x than I have actually auto-xing.

[indiana dave]

Eric,
Wrong "Dave's wife"

[SVO4PWR2]

me to Bud

OK, so this wasn't technically at the reunion....
On the way back from taking our house-sitter home...
me: *^*&#$ stupid drivers (comment after almost getting hit by a jerk who ran a red light)
me (again): Sorry I cussed Johnny.
Johnny: That's OK...I've heard a lot of cussing today
me: From who????
Johnny: Gator
me: Oh, thats right...you rode with him at the autocross

[svobud]

me (again): Sorry I cussed Johnny.
Johnny: That's OK...I've heard a lot of cussing today

At least he didn't say anything about Gator touching him in an inapropriate way.

[Dave S]

I was a bit concerned with that...especially after seeing that empty candy jar
When he didn't quickly exit Gator's car after the first run, I figured everything was OK.

[SVORob]

Gator: Candy is dandy... But liquor is quicker

Or maybe it was Pat hmmm

or it might have been the Capitan Morgan talking

Maybe a new bumper sticker
