Yeah around me (west central IL) there has yet to be a combine roll into any field within 50 miles of me. Now with this rain coming it will surely be Thanksgiving before the crops are done being picked and no one remember it being like that in over 20 years. Not even 93 was this bad and 93 sucked.

I am more than ready for a drought year.

Could go to the Grove and buy about 15 cases of dingaling beer while in Pa. then I could sell it to Aero at a profit when he runs out ....................

Maybe even Pine would save some seats. I saved him one for the World Figure 8 Championship,then he never showed.

Weather don't look good there either Quinn.

PS This cancellation saved me 3 cases of Yuengling plus I could get some more delivered next week so I would save your money Quinn;)

Tammy and Kevin,
Thanks for the early call. I had really looked forward to making my first visit, but your decision easily saved half a grand in hotel, fuel and meal costs.

We have had over 5" of rain in the past 24 hours! 2' of water surrounding the scoring tower. The only one's racing this weekend are the 50 Geese around the tower.

We will be breaking them up in 10 Geese heat races on Saturday!!!!!!!!!

The Gold Crown Midget Nationals will be back again in 2010!

Watch for all the details in the near future.

So, how exactly do you manage to get the transponders on the geese?:2::3:

Please please please don't make them draw for starting spots. Make them qualify :2:

Now do they have to follow the tire rule?

Yeah, make them qualify so they can attempt to set a new quack record.

Will there be a mandatory fuel stop at the midpoint of the feature, so the crews can throw them breadcrumbs?

Re: Gold Crown Nationals Cancelled
 

Who says we don't have keen wits in Illinois? You guys are having way too much fun with this thread. Please keep it up. Come on Indiana members, show us what you got.

Re: Gold Crown Nationals Cancelled
 

If you elect to line up heats by pill draw, instead of taking the draw sheet and marking off 1,2,3, 1,2,3 etc. to line up the heats, do you play the old childrens game of "Duck, Duck, Goose"?

Re: Gold Crown Nationals Cancelled
 

All in attendance must wear the new Hoosier "G"-3 on the right side ONLY! Have you guy's seen the "Webbing" on this one!

Yes we will be having a "CRUMB" stop at lap 20

We will be qualifying in the mudd and lining up "Heads" up 5 wide

The transponders will be "Strap-On"



Thanks, Kevin

Re: Gold Crown Nationals Cancelled

Re: Gold Crown Nationals Cancelled
 

I serious hope though that if there is a wreck with the geese, they don't get airborn. It is hunting season you know.

They won't be drafting beak to tail but instead they will be doing a huge V configuration.

Sadly USAC isn't there to officiate the race. I mean a race with a bunch of quacks and no quakcs there to officiate. Sorry I had to jab USAC, I can't make a joke not at their expense :2:

Atleast you can say "Look at the honkers on her" if a female goose is being chanced by two males andyou won't get slapped.

It's a win or die race. Losers get served for the crowd at the after race party.

If one of them gets run in to they really will get goosed.

I'll be damned, it's turned into another winged show after all.

USAC, PowrI and GADR? (GADR - Great American Duck Race of New Mexcio)

I sure hope this great event is not diluted with "wing" racing!:14:

HOPE THERE ARE NO BAD "QUACK"Up's!

Hopefully my workplace is still packaging this type of cheese next year and i can bring some to midget week for you SHORTBUS. I could box some up in a cooler to send out but i bet the shipping cost isn't worth messing with it.

Bus you can get some really good horseradish among other cheeses at Deli Direct Inc. 1-800-321-deli (3354) or you can go to www.delidirect.com We have tried just about everything this guy sells and can tell ya it is all worth looking into. If you order anything make sure you try the Triple Treat Mustard -Glaze-Spread-Dip.

I always knew that IOWers were a fun-loving bunch, but didn't realize what a pun-loving bunch was here. I simply can't believe that there is actually a duck racing organization. Hey Dave, any thoughts about really putting the fun into funfest with some duck races?

Hey Bill I don't know if you go to the Bridge Festival or not but there is a little Amish store north of Rockville called Peachy's that has horseradish cheese and several other types. Take the road that Rockville lake is on north about 3/4 -1 mile and there is a sign on the right pointing you in the right direction.
