    Scoop, eh? A P-51 Prop Spinner ice bucket would be a winner to me...Like this photoshopped example:


    Just have to add legs or some kind of support base to keep it upright.





    .




    Afterwards when the "bucket" is empty and one is feeling pretty good (and no handy lampshades are nearby)...

    I don't think I have ever seen Miss America perform as well as she did last year. Very fast and a lot more aggressive. It was exciting to see. And yes, we all miss Ridge Runner. What a sweet ride.

    Thanks very much for the kind words. Despite some problems early in the week, once we got things squared away, everything just sort of fell into place. Cumulatively, ALL the mods we put into place worked to near perfection, and I think we even surprised ourselves a bit. In any case, it was an incredible amount of fun, and a memory I'll never forget.

    My video of that race has several exclamations from the crowd around me along the lines of "Where the he!! did Ridge Runner come from?"

I could be wrong, but I'm doubting Reno will ever see speeds like that again from a "Super Stocker" racer that lived as a daily driver 8 months of the year. I sure miss that old girl!

    That was awesome to watch!

    Wellllll, not quite... There might be more to the bottom end than meets the eye.
