And you thought this would be a "sleeper"!!! ----- Original Message ---- From: Gil Osenburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 7:55:27 AM Subject: Re: [F500] Source for Black Appliance Epoxy paint Thanks Neale and Richard !
I met Carroll Smith at a big trade show in Cincinnati a number of years ago along with Tony Tobias - the Business Manager for "RaceCar Engineering Magazine" ! Unfortunately I didn't have my Carroll Smith books on hand for autographs - what a treasure that would be ! I'm waiting for the F1 race from Germany being broadcast on SPEED - comes on at 7:30 - about 5 minutes from now ! The unfortunate wheel failure suffered by Louis causing him to start from 10th should make it interesting. The early part of my morning will be spent listening to the excellent reportage offered by Bob Varsha, David Hobbs, Steve Marschett and Peter Windsor - as usual the race will probably a "sleeper" - as most F1 races seem to be ! Flash - Varsha sez -the weather may throw a spanner into the works ! ( my paraphrase ! ) If it rains we'll have an opportunity to see Louis race in the rain - another Schuey ??? Little did John Cooper know that his 500 cc powered Cooper's would evolve into what we call F1 today ! Turn up the volume and watch the red lights ! Kimi, Fernando, Filipe, Louis or maybe Robert or Mark ?? All the best !
