Manhattan Moni and Weslynn Warrior Today
Quote from Lonnie on August 18, 2024, 10:01 AMIt was a dark and stormy night (and day),
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip,
that started from this tropic port (Great Neck),
aboard this tiny ship (Honda Accord).The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
the Skipper brave and sure,
five (one) passengers set sail that day,
for a three-hour tour (drive),
a three-hour tour.The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship (car) was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
the Minnow (Accord) would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.The ship aground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle (Our first time to Philadelphia Park)
with Gilligan (@factlaw Rich),
the Skipper (Lonnie) too.
A millionaire (Carmelo - I don't know the validity of the millions, but his heart is a million bucks)...To be continued...

Quote from Lonnie on August 18, 2024, 10:10 PMCan you say "TORRENTIAL RAINS"?
BOOM! Just like that the skies opened and dumped an ocean and a half of water on us on the way home. There was so much flooding! Even a car completely flipped over on Northern Boulevard a mile from home. Roof to asphalt. They closed the entire road.
I got home to see Weslynn Warrior finish second at Lexington, KY. Before Manhattan Moni's race, Carmelo and I got to ride in the starting card for Race 13.

What a thrill that was!
And Manhattan Moni finished second, so two in the money finishes from our two starters! All in all a splendid time was had by all!

Thank you! We were in a teeny bit of a slump. This hopefully starts to turn the tide. (no pun intended, as the drive home in torrential rains of biblical proportions) was more suited to a boat than a car!
If you get the opportunity to ride in the starting gate, do it! As I am sure that you would.

Quote from MaywoodAl on August 21, 2024, 12:10 AMHow were able to get to ride in the car? Many years ago when there was much more racing in the Chicago area, I won a couple raffles to ride. Also if you had a party with a race named after your group a person or two was able to ride.Â

Without naming names, as I don't know if they want there name out there. I knew someone who knew someone.Â
