Lefty on the List......Can we "shun" a Club Member?

[Redwoodlse@xxxx]

Lefty, your club reporter here.....reporting on the Mopar vs Bowtie contest 
previously hyped on these pages.......Help me here on club protocol....is it 
possible to delist a member? Have we ever revoked membership for 
incompetence?
Quentin Smith, using his considerable pull with the hierarchy at Sears Point, 
arranges for the only staged, side-by-side grudge match of the evening to be 
between the SS packaged Camaro of Rob Jett to face off with the 300F of his 
dad with a 2.345 handicap allowed the ancient Chrysler. Jett Sr cuts a 4.63 
reaction time which is illegal but close to the good thing vs. kid of 8.991. 
Chrysler is way out ahead at 1/8 mile with the 440 humming strong!! Times at 
1/8 are 10.881 for Sr and 8.991 for Jr. The handicap might work. Trap speed 
at 1/8 are 66.23 vs 83.26 with Chev holding the big number. Final speed for 
the Chrysler was 65.25 (!) What happened here? The silly twit on the big 
car saw the big board all lite up showing 16.30 in large letters and thinking 
the race over, let off letting the Chev pass him. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT! He 
saw his dial-in number and thought the race was over. The track is brand new 
(first week) and no finish line is indicated anywhere, but still. Race two, 
not side by side, just against random bracket racer, had Quentin at the wheel 
turning a 16.941 while punk-kid found a 13.650, his best of the night. Dear 
Old Dad, pulls all stops, reduces air in rear tires to 24 from the 32 they 
had been packing due to general sloppiness of Jett the Elder, plus the timing 
light was put in to play, advancing to factory specs from anti-knock plan 
used with the 91 octane from other days, but now mixed well with 114 leaded.
Better understanding of where the end of the match was supposed to occur 
helped our demoralized contender turn a 16.205 with an 85.92 top end. As a 
sympathy ploy I'm sure, young Jett than launched in LOW and was real 
surprized when the 350 passed the redline and he had to find another gear 
after the confusion resolved itself. The time was in the high 14's for the 
last try. The best Bowtie was 13.650 plus the 2.345 handicap required a 
15.994 by the noisy one and it just didn't happen. The mostly 16-30 crowd 
really enjoyed looking the Brute over and marveling at the cross rams. I 
heard a group of 20 somethings saying.....Why is that old man out flogging 
that beauty? It should be in a museum! Many thanks for member support of 
Quentin Smith and Chuck McGill. About the only good thing to come out of the 
night is that dingbat Jett reports the car sure runs FINE after having 3, 
well 2 really, flatout runs plus the dose of 114 proof Union. The winner, 
Rob Jett, will cook his dad breakfast anyhow, but says he doesn't have to go 
to church with him. He should be reminded that he has two fathers, with but 
one on earth!!

As always, Lefty
