    CHRISTMAS PARTY
    Jordan scored a free room at Opal Divines (across from Fryes and Hobby Town North).
    We voted at todays race (Nov 18) and Opal Divines is the location for the Dec Christmas Party.
    – By tradition we have a “white elephant” rotating gift event. Wrap a gift $20 or under. After 2nd gift is opened the second person can grab the first gift; this repeats where the latest “receiver” can grab any previous gift. Steals on the same gift can only occur 3 times.

    GIFT SUGGESTIONS: Slot-car, 1×1 racing videos or Swag, static models, tools are great ideas. Liquor is also allowed as a gift but remember that not everyone drinks alcohol. Spare or vintage slot-cars, die-cast cars, photos, parts, tools, books, videos (no VHS please!) are great candidates.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
