    Re: Streaga out?

    So, it would seem 232 and Strega share the same canopy mold?

Guy has ice water for blood I think..

      Or he just wanted to feel the Reno breeze on his face for a couple minutes before putting her down!

                No word on HOW it happened, but I heard it come off, told Matt, I heard it... his response was kind of humorous.. he said I heard it too!! MUCH emphasis on what he said!!

                Cool customer though... he seemed completely nonplussed!

                Is there any other place in the world where you can be a part of something so exciting as this???

                NO!
                I warned yous guys what wuz gonna happen if you stuffed a 14" head in a 12" canopy, remember?
                Seriously, though, Thank GOD that Matt is O.K.
                I wish him the best, He has waited sooo long for this.

                    It is far from an exact fit. They have a long night and huge arts and crafts project to do to get that thing to fit.

                      You out there? Photos? I got the impression that they had access to one of, maybe, several plexi's that had been made off the canopy mold. Voodoo's is from the same one... did you see the new one tonight?

                          Next time you see Skip Holm, ask him about the time he got his head jammed sideways in the canopy when he looked over his shoulder, and had to release the controls to reach up and pull it loose...

                            No two are exactly alike and there will be slight differrnces thst make a huge difference. These are not production canopies held to quality standards.

                                Fingers crossed that all went well and they are now wiping fingerprints off the freshly installed one.
