Good morning to you, Vernon.
Speaker 4:Good morning. Good morning.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you so much for joining us morning. I know you have nothing to do. You probably got a whole load of cars out in the parking lot ready for this cruise. And behind the camera this morning is our good friend Randy welded.
Speaker 2:Randy
Speaker 1:And so we appreciate both of you guys talking to us this morning. There's Randy. So Verint, tell me about this. Is this an annual event? Is this first of its kind or what?
Speaker 4:No. This is this is actually our our second one. We did this last year. Actually, this is going to be our fifth cruise of the year now. We we we are big in the cruises and and getting our members out there and and have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1:Well, I sure hope that you bring with you. The air conditioning guy. Because if anybody loses air conditioning today, they're gonna be down and out.
Speaker 4:That that's what we got Randy for.
Speaker 1:Randy welded. Randy's good for something, and that's a good thing for him to be good of. Yeah. We got Yeah.
Speaker 4:I am NBA C certified.
Speaker 1:Alright. Well, that's good to know. And he's got a big jug of free on in the back of the card and we're ready to go. So where are you guys going today?
Speaker 4:We're gonna hand over to Anderson to the Crocs County courthouse. And we're gonna travel through the downtown one zero five around up the seventeen seventy four over there and then take a few pictures. I mean, it's a beautiful courthouse, and then we're gonna need some there and head into the National Forest and wind, you know, wind around through there and get up to Huntsville where we're gonna take the time to eat lunch. And then we'll finish up there and head on over to the Texas prison museum. Before we head on back.
Speaker 1:So, you know, there's there seems to be a lot of jails and prisons and incarcerations going on in this tour. The courthouse, there in Grimes County, I believe, has a jail in the upstairs of that facility, and you're gonna wind up at the prison museum. And I think they're the walls unit. I think that the old sparky is in there.
Speaker 4:I was
Speaker 2:gonna say who's testing old sparky?
Speaker 4:It isn't it. I'm I'm definitely supposedly, there's a there's a a letter in there from Bonnie and Clyde when he sent it to Ford saying that how much he appreciated the car that Ford built, even though that he knows mister Ford didn't appreciate the kind of business he was in.
Speaker 1:Well, how fun I did not know that. Is that where that original letter is? Mhmm.
Speaker 4:That's why I understand that the letter is.
Speaker 3:I'll be praising the flathead Ford v eight.
Speaker 1:Well, it was an accomplishment that carries on today.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 1:And not in the flat head form, but it's certainly the v eight was a a a true game changer as as it were. So how many people are gonna go on this cruise?
Speaker 4:We've got we've got twenty one people that are headed on, you know, beyond the cruise. Now that's twenty one vehicles. We'll have you know, so we can end up with, you know, forty eighty plus people. And then also have a hundred and twenty seven at our interested and so we know how many of those are gonna show up.
Speaker 1:Well, as this is strictly a Mustang thing,
Speaker 4:No, sir. This is open to all car enthusiasts no matter what you drive. This is how this is to have fun with the whole community You you can bring your Chevy, your Dodge, your import. We'd rather you drive the Ford Mustang, but It's open to everybody.
Speaker 3:So listen, they could always trade in and buy a new Mustang from Gilo. Well,
Speaker 1:the the only other thing that I can think of is that there's probably going to be a lot of No's thumbing going on up and down the the the the track today.
Speaker 4:Correct. There was.
Speaker 1:Alright. What kind of what kind of car do you have?
Speaker 4:Well, I've I've got a sixty seven Fastback Mustang I don't have this on the cruise, but we I also have or my wife has. I better correct that. She's got the o six converted Mustang that looks like a sixty seven Fastback.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 4:Tribute cars, those aren't two.

And then September fourteenth at Maple Grove as they as they start the countdown. Wow. The countdown ends at US nationals. And then the the finals for the national championship begin at Maple Grove. NASCAR is at the Indy Road course this weekend, so they go and reverse through the Indy Road course And then next weekend, they're at Watkins Glen, so they do two road courses back to back.
Speaker 1:I saw a promo on last weekend's IndyCar race, which was very good by the way. That so, I guess, today is IndyCar and tomorrow is NASCAR. Correct? Add Indian App. Add Indian App.
Speaker 3:Add any run-in the road course. Run-in the road course. That I mean, what'd be a great week. What a ticket?
Speaker 2:What a ticket. Years ago, they used to have when it was the Bush series and the IRL would run on a Saturday at the same track because I've been any of those events.
Speaker 1:Well, and
Speaker 2:then it would run the NASCAR Cup or the Winston Cup.
Speaker 1:I had no clue. Well, it sounds really good. What else?
Speaker 3:And then Formula one, the big game of next August twenty seventh is the Dutch Grand Prix and then the Italian Grand Prix. Forget about it is the ninth or the third of September. Hempson on eight August twenty seventh is at Virginia International Raceway, and IndyCar this weekend is at Indy Road Course and then on the twenty seventh third Gateway around the St. Louis area. So that's racing.
Speaker 1:Is that gonna be, like, a downtown race, do you know?
Speaker 3:No. No. No. It's gonna be a circle track race.
Speaker 1:That those cars really I mean, I'm a circle track. No. Indianapolis, okay. That's one thing. But some they're all that mile and a half high banked and they're going way too fast.
Speaker 3:Way too fast. Mhmm.
Speaker 1:And they you don't remember
Speaker 3:a few years ago, they were supposed to run at Dallas
Speaker 1:--
Speaker 2:Texas. Yeah.
Speaker 1:--
Speaker 3:at Texas, and they canceled it because they were too fast and
Speaker 1:they thought the
Speaker 2:drivers didn't wanna run unsafe.
Speaker 1:Well, remember, the guy got killed in Las Vegas, had his head cut off because the the Dan welded went up into the fence because they were going too fast. It's not. Those cars are nothing but fast.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah. Well, it's fast because the engine, but it's also fast because the aerodynamics. Correct. And when one of them fails. Bad bad things.
Speaker 1:Bad things. Bad things.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So that's the race car. Don, back to you.
Speaker 1:I think that they all should be road courses. Either street courses or actual road courses like up in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Speaker 3:Elkkosh. Road America.
Speaker 1:What a wonderful track that is. Yeah. Remember, I remember I always used to love watching Riverside for NASCAR. Mhmm. And that was a great track, kinda weird out doesn't matter.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Except It's
Speaker 1:not a
Speaker 2:very good part of town. Alright.
Speaker 1:Mister Zikin is back. Yep. And he always has a feature for us this week. It's automotive calendars.
Speaker 2:And how many automotive calendars have you bought in your allotted time? The calendar was first invented thirty one hundred BC was the first calendar.
Speaker 1:Well, will it start
Speaker 2:to work on cars there? Was it
Speaker 3:I didn't know it was BC
Speaker 2:because they it was on the calendar. They checked it off. So the you know, I'll get into this, and then we're gonna show some what my version of a calendar would be for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1:Is it like a rock? Is it
Speaker 2:But calendars, again, way back and and my version, this is about the time of the year where you get that information and you plug in all those pretty pictures of cars and bikes and all that other stuff. But the first Photo of a car was invented by Karl Benz in Manheim Germany, the first appearance on the Manheim streets of Germany,
Speaker 1:who had video of this?
Speaker 2:No. No.
Speaker 1:Because Yeah.
Speaker 3:We have man high steamroller music.
Speaker 2:We are horrible. The pictures are sensitive for trademark. So I couldn't pull those up. It wouldn't wouldn't go through. So that's why we don't have anybody. But eighteen eighty three is the first one. The first color photograph was taken in nineteen o six of a girl in front of a nineteen o two Renault. And her father's truck, her father's car, French.
Speaker 1:Was it called the Oolala? No. But her name
Speaker 2:was Suzanne Demur. And she was the daughter of Louis Lemir. And it was his own Renault, an eight eight horsepower car, and he did it for Who knew? Four photograph.
Speaker 1:So Oh, Renault knew
Speaker 2:Renault knew So that's where the calendars started. And this actually is my version of a twenty twenty four calendar check this out. These are the January through February. There you go. There's the first one. Oh, I a January No.
Speaker 1:It's it's a Jaguar on fire.
Speaker 2:Yeah. It's it's it's it's that's January. And then here we got February coming up. There was a good night.
Speaker 1:Let's see from

Speaker 1:No longer. Is that another attest?
Speaker 2:Well, it's I this is electric, and there's another one that's as Mark -- Where's Mark?
Speaker 1:-- is But it's a good one.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 1:These cars are all on fire if you're just listening and these cars
Speaker 2:are burning to the ground. There's one. That that is good April, I believe. That's April. And of course, my month for me would be this one, you know, you're out in front of the house and you look out and boom your cars on fire.
Speaker 1:The fire department pulls up and you're going, what's a big hub up? About wait a minute. That's my car.
Speaker 2:And I think there's a Porsche, and then I think there's a a Range Rover behind it. No flames or any no one was hurt in any of these. So there you go. There's a good one there. That's a good one. I think that's June.
Speaker 1:That's that's June. There's there's August.
Speaker 2:But it goes on. So these were my my collection of what calendar shit look like.
