If you are at RA, AND...

[manic mechanic]

..Have ever had a cold one or socialized at the Pirate Truck while it was parked at Fontana (2000-2002) or LBGP and have not inked the pirate flag, please find Anaya and make arrangements to do so.

There are several people I know were present at one or more of the gatherings that I feel should have their signatures on this very special piece of history and I am hoping that some of you will take the time to do this (I'm not scheduled to be at another race until Vegas 2007) for me.

Those I KNOW should be on it:

The members of the "Chicago Mafia" (you know who you are)
Cork
Ank
Herb Tea Gonzales
Fitti Fan and BMEP
OW
SwinSr and Jessica

not to mention others whose screen names have escaped me due to various states of overly joyous inebriation.

If you aren't able to sign it at RA, I will have it with me at the LV/LBGP double in 2007.

BTW, here is what it looks like currently. Thanks to M&M for the photo!!

Love all those drinks keeping the flag up!

We never got to the pirate truck but I saw it in 2002. Herb Tea was awesome. I wonder what happened to him?

~Senor Herb is still around (now known as Winston Wolfe), but due to one of my many social faux-pas, he considers me "persona non-grata" at this juncture.

I agree with you, Tim.. He is a one of a kind dude. ;) I saw him in passing at LBGP this year, but we never spoke.
