HAVE YOU NOTICED…

PRODUCTIONS
22 years of Grace
and Strength
Did you know
that famed martial arts master
Bruce Lee always
said that the dance training he had received, had helped make him a better
fighter? Do they come any tougher
than Bruce Lee? Maybe Chuck Norris?
Check Norris was Bruce Lee’s friend,
Would you argue with Chuck Norris?
...the number of drivers on Hwy 50 who, instead
of getting into the long, long line at Exit 54, stay
on and get off at Exit 57? If you have any Bay
area friends who are coming up to Apple Hill for
the pies and the trees and the family fun, tell
them to make a left at the end of the offramp,
then make a right instead of a left turn when
they get to Pony Express Trail, and then a left
onto Blair Road, and follow the signs to the
HARRIS TREE FARM, number 84 on the Apple Hill Growers list. Yup, right here in Pollock
Pines.
Chuck Norris is so tough, he has no chin under his beard, only
another fist.

DISCLAIMER
And naming conventions
First, Naming Conventions. FIA rules
for endurance races for automobiles require a race with a minimum of either
1,000 kilometers (620 miles) distance,
or six hours running time. If the time is
used, the car that has traveled the greatest distance and crosses the start/finish
line first is the winner.
For further information, contact the Connections-One Stop, (530) 642-4850.
So, whichever car has driven the furthest after 12 hours at the 12 Hours of
Sebring is the winning car. At the 1000
Kilometers of Nurburgring the winning
car is the first one to go 1000 kilometers.

FAST, CHEAP, AND OUT OF
CONTROL (but mostly cheap)
Definitely Not the PONY EXPRESS 1900
You’ve heard of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, mostly be prototype sports cars
worth megabucks, sometimes, literally millions
of dollars. Well Wisconson hosts the Chubba
Cheddar Enduro 24 Hours of LeMons, a race for
cars worth $500 or less. To quote the Le Mons
Dispatch: a lot of these babies look like they
came in under budget.
As for the sleek styling that one finds at the 24
Hours of Le Mans, cars in the 24 Hours of Le
Mons sports looks like this:
(The udders on the cow car
can actually squirt milk!)
Don’t look for names like Ferrari, or Porsche, or Matra, or Ford GT40. You
are more likely to find Chevelle, Camaro on the
high end, or...Simca. Here,
a Simca entered by Team Le
Mopar, which is French for
Team Le Mopar.

And now, we return you to the good stuff, the
PONY EXPRESS 1900.
DISCLAIMER (Con’t from page 3)
Welles tell the audience that what they
are hearing is just a radio play; that
none of it is real. There are no martians.
Well, there is no THUNDER IN THE PINES
RACING CIRCUIT, and there will be no PONY EXPRESS 1900 ENDURANCE RACE
FOR SPORTS CARS, but we can still have
fun with the idea, can’t we? Now, strap in, and
have fun. (Story on page 6)

the "Backer" be charged with the
amount they pledged.
Don't you agree that it's time for a fund
-raising product that teaches life
skills? Her project is 'live' for only 30
days, so she is asking for a pledge from
you for her to provide a fresh choice
and meaningful product for schools and
youth groups to choose as their fundraiser.
FUNDRAISING FOR YOUTH
GROUPS
An opportunity
You may know that Fran Christensen created a
book that not only shows children how to cook,
but is a great resource for parents, teachers, and
youth leaders to create their own cooking lessons.
Every school year and sports season she supports youth group fund-raisers. Most of you
have purchased or been approached to buy chocolate candy, frozen cookie dough, popcorn, merchant cards, and wrapping paper supplies. She
wants to provide her book as a fund-raiser product! She wants to be the changes she wants to
see in what children learn to eat! She has
aligned herself with 3 fund-raising catalog distributors. There are a lot of steps required to
have a product in one of these catalogs, which is
why she has teamed up with Kickstarter.com
For those of you who are not familiar with
Kickstarter.com here is a brief explanation. When someone has an idea for a project
that needs funding to complete, they go to Kickstarter.com and explain all the details of the project including the breakdown of funds required. "Backers" pledge dollars to fund the
project. If the project does not meet it's funding
goal, the 'Backers" are not charged anything. Only after the project is fully funded, will
Just to be clear, this is not soliciting for
groups to use her book as a fundraiser
(not yeat, anyway). The Project is a
way to get her books (Volume 1 along
with Volume 2-which is in production),
in fundraising distributor catalogs.
Gotta do this one step at a time. Don’t
you want there to be a viable choice of
what products are used to raise funds?
We tell our kids about eating healthy
then we say, " . . .now go out and sell
not-at-all-nourishing stuff".
If you agree that it's time for a youth
fund-raising product that teaches life
skills, join the backers of her project
on Kickstarter.com to put her "Cooking
with Mrs. C" books in fundraising distributor catalogs

PONY EXPRESS 1900 NEWS
Hot Sightings!
Well known racing writer Kris Ekonomaki reports having seen Pollock Pines’ own Jim La
Berge having lunch with road racing drivers
Willy T. Ribbs and Heinz Guderian at the FIFTY GRAND restaurant this weekend. La Berge
is owner of the BIG DOG Racing
Team. What got Ekonomaki’s interest
was that across the street at the NEW
HAVEN restaurant, Canadian drivers
Chris P. Bacon and Olden Crochitty
were dining with Dave Campbell of
nearby TRUE VALUE HARDWARE.
A Ford GT40 in Gulf Oil blue was recently observed in the back shop of Pollock Pines’ best hardware store last
week.
And finally, members of the extreme
environmentalist group B.O.R.E. (Barn
Owl Rescue Enterprise) filed a lawsuit
in federal court in an attempt to stop the
endurance race because part of the race
will be run during the evening when
mosquitos come out in greatest numbers. The argue that exhaust from the
racing cars will kill mosquitos in large
numbers. B.O.R.E. lead attorneys
Stomme klootzak and Ima Kusipää
seemed surprised that court spectators
did not cheer and offer support when
they explained allowing the race to run
would result in dead mosquitos.
