Before I go on my usual drivel I have to say: I FINALLY MET CHATTERS!!!! (other than das Penguin and Mulsanne Mike). Captain Zastro (Joe) was kind enough to hook me up once again with a ticket to the race so I knew I had to find his camp (or I'd face another 11 months of harassment!). After 4 separate treks to what I figured HAD to be his camp I finally saw someone rummaging around near a tent. I walked from my vantage point to the tent and found a guy laboring over a hot grill. I yelled out over the whine of the race cars 'are you Joe Wall?' to which he replied "you're Doug!! WHOOHOO!! Finally!" (note: in the past I've had a problem in finding Cappy and his clan). Not a moment later who appeared but Spike and Mom! Damn!  I was batting 3 for 3 in less than 2 minutes!!!! After Mom took a moment to show me her Sabres sweatshirt (gloating she was!) I moved off to find the rest of the group on the hill overlooking the Esses. It sure didn't take to long to find Wiz, Duff, Jody and Lancelot Link. After the obligatory greetings I watched a bit of the race with the ole MSC folks and we took a group picture (guess who is in the front row with the goatee?).  I have to admit that our meeting was short, but the fact that I finally got to place faces with 'screen names' and take in a beautiful day with others who share a similar interest (even for a few minutes) was wonderful. Hats off to Cappy for pulling all the folks together! Good job Joe, and THANK YOU! Next
