~ EVENT REPORTS ~
Otsego County Fair 2010.
Sonny Stickles has our
trailer re-wlrked and is
taking the Mouseville
Monster on Tour this Fall.
First date: The Otsego
County Fair. John Mason
called up my father and
asked if he'd bring it over
again this year, Dad took
the S-33 over for good
measure. Mike Newell and
John have been ahuling
cars from Mel Ogden's place
in Franklin as well as John's
place in Gilbertsville and
have teh display looking
nice as always. This year it's
on the infield entering turn
one which is a prime spot.
Mike has also been busy
readying a competion car for
Brent Cobb - a former Paul
Jensen/Dan Yankowski
Kneisal chassis with a
355Chevy smallblock and
Plymouth coupe body -
they've done a nice job on it.
Mike also got John Mason's
#5 Bud Hinman bug
spruced up and running -
he related" The pipes came
from Ted Johnson's pool!
Stainless!" I retorted, "Does
Ted know?"
BAHAHAHAHAHA! Everyone
was in good spirits despite
the weather whihc can only
be described as 'steamy' - at
least the rain was done by
parade time, and it had
cooled off a bit but brother,
I'm glad I'm not racing
tonight... Former members
Tom Toomey and John Pegg
were on hand, as were Willie
Wightman, Sonny Stickles,
and Pete Stafford who all
manned tillers along with
Mike and John. Taking
pictures was all I needed to
do and it's a nice, nostalgic
trip going to Midstate,
seeing the grandstand full
and the cars coming down
the front stretch. I told my
sister that I remember
coming here every weekend
as a boy, begging for pop
corn and one of those plastic
cars they sold under the
grandstand to wreck during
the week - if it made it that
long... Tonight though, it's
ice cream to cool off and
then back to the Southern
Tier for me. The display lasts
all week and is worth
checking out, John and
Mike sure put a lot of effort
into it.
