Re: Chrysler Classic Speed Festival Oct 10th Pic\'s
I have to tell everyone that didn't attend, this was a neet event. Fun day, great weather, nice people.
For me the absolute best moment came when I was driving through the front gate of the Naval base. For those that don't know the event is held on an old runway on the Coronado Navy Base so everyone is subject to inspections by the MP's (miliary police) at the front gate.
As I was approaching the main gate I slowed to get the customary wave through. There was at least 6 if not more MP's at the gate. I rolled up to a stop and acknowledged the young military guy walking up and looking down into my RT10. He had a serious look on his face (is there any other look on a cop's face?) and then he said "LIGHT'EM UP SIR!"... I (being retired military and a little cautious when it comes to Military Police) said "Whaaaaa" .. He replied "LIGHT 'EM UP SIR!
So....... being the respectful military man I am, was then obliged to do just that. I SMOKED 'EM right there in front of everyone, then proceeded to observe the speed limits.
I have to admit smiles were abundant not the least of which was my own.
God Bless our Military. They are GREAT!
