I think in one of those races John Crocker had to swllor Gold Fish Shawn

Shawn, what year was it (late 80's) that John was walking to the racers in a fire suit while holding a bucket with dry ice in it? The races were the best thing...

Thanks,

Jason, where's Power-pac located at in Ione? I visited power-pac way back when when it was at Oakland airport.

Also, what is the zinc-cromated object in the back right hand side of the picture?

TIA,

Dave

Actually, I was wearing the fire suit to "fuel" the tug with the "special race gas" John Crocker was the race tug pilot. Power-Pac Enginnering is owned by Kathy Bogue, widow of the Late Mike Bogue. Renee is an employee of Power-Pac. The primered object in the photo is a T2 Buckeye owned by a customer.

Here's a poor quality shot I took of Daryl sitting on Conquest 1 with the two oxen pulling him out prior to the gold race.

Wasn't that the year he couldn't get the gear to come up and raced sunday with one hanging out?

The Ramp Rat Report said "Darryls oxen are Mustang Ranch rejects"...
Not a tug but along the lines of Darryll, does anyone remember Ray Cote in the Circus Circus suit?

I have a slide of that. I have asked Speedy Haskin to put a bunch of old slides on a disk. As soon as I get it I will post that and some other "oldies, but goodies"
