Have you made a place for Bacan Bit to stand behind the roll bar and hold on with one hand while swinging a chain around her head? Maybe the next Axis & Allies event?

Go for it! After a meeting with Team Slotus, Dr. Phil will need to find a good counselor/therapist/man with butterfly net for his-own-self! :rofl:

Yo Trochu! I'm not sure what you're saying there... Our local SCCA region has hosted an "Allies vs Axis" team autocross in early December for about 25 or so years now. We divide up into two teams, based on your car's nameplate and who was on which side in WWII. We keep score based on class wins and 2nd places and the Allies always win.

But you're totally correct, in that it takes a lot of work by a group of volunteers to get everything set up for the event. Fortunately, we have a really good group here in Dixie Region SCCA, and lots of folks pitch in and help make it happen.

You should come down and join us in December!
:cheers:

Ahhh, OK, now the lights are on upstairs... :mrgreen:

Yeah, that looks almost as complicated as the actual events of '39 to '45...
Well, without the actual exploding artillery shells... :shock:

PS- You still oughta come to our Allies/Axis autocross!

DUH! You never ask. You just do it and then take some pictures. When you show them the pics you say "Ain't she cute!" and they have to agree.

I gotta agree with carguy. It's always easier (not "easy") to get forgiveness than to get permission! :twisted:

Yo, Kristian!
Great picture!!! Looks like they're ready to go...
Can't say I actually recommend running down the highway like that, but it's still a good picture!

Hey, JD, here's a little Mallock eye candy I ran across. There's still time to bid if you're interested.

I just saw this. I'm having images of JD standing over Dr. Phil, who's gnawing on the edge of the carpet and softly repeating to himself "What Were You Thinking?...)... :shock:
