^^^^ Not worth the effort to click. Cliff notes?

There is no denying how good he is or how good the team is coached and managed.......all the more reason not to like him.

You're right Robert, I remember them and many more. And, I made many a trips down that ribbon of asphalt. By the end of it's life time it was downright dangerous in the shut down area. Was at Motor City Dragway (outside New Baltimore, Mi. 26 mile and Meldrom Rd.) when the Little Red Wagon made it's first runs. They did not expect the huge wheel stands. They had planed on the rear mount engine to aid traction. Little did they know it would become the attraction it did while under the control of Bill "Maverick" Golden. Ekstrand was in the legal department when I first met him didn't know he was in engineering. You missed Gapp and Roush and their early drag cars. Roush was a genius at finding favorable rules to take advantage of. Like using their four door Maverick to be a constant winner in class. A friend of mine was approached to drive a pro stock car for them but he declined since he was just starting his cement business. Thornton and Moser and others began their drag racing careers with "The High and The Mighty" fenderless hemi powered car at the NHRA nationals held at Detroit Dragway. They pioneered suspension modifications to aid traction. The "Ramchargers" ran out of Hodges Dodge in Ferndale. The "Golden Commando's" were out of Hamilton Motors. Ace Wilson ran the "Royal Pontiac" team out of his dealership in Royal Oak. I was lucky enough to see Potter (E.J. not Harry) several times at Motor City. Once his throttle stuck and he ended up in the farmers field that was at the end of the strip. Lots of good memories in your post, thanks!

Cliff notes: Imagine that knowing some of the talented receivers and backs the Cowboys have had during his playing time, just how potentially great those teams could have been with him at QB

jealousy will get you no where.................

Maybe he got this one.

His success was do to the coaching and players around him as much as his talent. He would not have been nearly as successful with the Boys during the same time span. Hard to admit, but true. Jerry has been his own worst enemy.

Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even usually surpassing knowledge. E. J. Potter


I think he would fit right in with the Hammy's tribe....... our Motto...... Ignorance is Bliss.....

I got a new front splitter coming from the Extreme Online Store. Good prices compared to other places I looked. It's all about downforce you know..... I got the carbon fiber one so I won't have to paint it.

Warming up around here... the cold snap is moving on and I am glad... Have a day of bliss Hammers........

rkj427

he kind of resembles the guy collecting the $0.25 admission charge to the "Gentlemen's Club" Ruxxy and I "inspected" while out in Lincoln, NE...........

thought he was about 1/4 the size of the female heifers they had employed there................

needless to say, we were NOT there too long..................

Shaolin Crane

I have the same ones, I need to replace my front piece though, it had been banged, nicked and stepped on :/

Shaolin Crane

I shudder to imagine what level of talent a strip club in Nebraska hires

wayback

Hey now, be nice, H1 likes em.

ruxvette

And to think my home state is enacting a ban on dwarf tossing at local pubs...

ruxvette

The talent shuddered, also. No, wait, they shook. Everywhere. For a long time.

Shaolin Crane

Did the club provide flour to find the wet spot?

ruxvette

Coulda been. There were 40lb sacks of stuff around the stage. I thought it was a sand bunker...

BadAV

Where do you think the expression "There's the beef" originated from? 😲

Huskerman

hey hey......so now you're all having Heifer Hate? Seems to me we couldn't get Ruxy to stop smiling for 2 days after he stumbled into the um.....Gentleman's Club....down by the stockyards... I will be sending you all the... Heifers need love too! bumper stickers found on many manly pickups in the State of Corn.......
