The Chief gave me a pass this week. It was a trade actually: “two days next week, for one day this week.” I took the deal- I had no choice. this is Gold Cup week and I have a long ways to go before my program is race ready and competitive.
A week and a half…

I knew that his days were growing short but still, it came as a personal blow to learn that Stan Hanauer had passed away last week. I flat loved the guy and I will miss him a great deal. Stan was a fine human being.
There are so many good people who will read this post that knew Stan far better than I, who can tell the great stories of his Navy days, or his hydroplane racing days. I wasn’t a close personal friend, but Stan and I were simpatico on a special level as fellow…

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(mrsstellaabudheir@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Stella.
Hey Marc... My dad Ray was Bill's brother. I have 2 sisters, Laurie and Adrienne, and a brother Daryl. Yes, I have some awesome memories. Dad owned a marina in Port Clinton Ohio, and whenever Uncle Bill raced in Detroit, he brought the boat to Sugar Rock and of course the people around here freaked. Then we would take a family trip on dad's boat up to the Detroit River, catch the race, and hang with family. Many many great years. I was probably 12 when I first met Aunt Fran and saw her in Detroit 2 years ago.. I still communicate with Wil and Edward from time to time, not much contact with Dorian or Ken, geographic reasons only....
(laughing)... I see you built an '82 Atlas as I did. Mine took me 400 hours, about 1200 bucks and was perfect down to the brush stroke. I watched in horror as it lost reception, and crashed into the rocks. Stupidly I tried to re-start my KB .87 only to watch it literally blow up. I still have it in the shed with boxes marked Christmas laying on top of it. Gotta love the sick humor...
Anyway.. I'm glad Uncle Bill is not forgotten... I do have more stories for another day.... The best, Steve
Hi Mark,
Nice picture. I am looking forward to next season. I need to get some good pictures of my
"White Knife" running this year. I hope to have the nose fixed by the model show and have her there to display. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Marc. It is a blast to drive.
We need to get you registerd in UNW!!!!!
I don't think we will be under rated for very long......
Glad to be here and like the new website look.
