Hi, Bill, and Wayne:
My use of the term "testies" was a play on words, having to do with the
performance testing of the 1956 & 1957
Dodge D500's, and, it also referred to the increasingly testy
communications regarding the intransigence of our
members to acknowledge the veracity of various published test/race
results, and how those data might
relate to the claims being made about the real-world accomplishments of
the subject race cars.
I certainly hope that you were not confusing the use of the plural form
of testy with "testes", which refers to
the male reproductive organs.
In that regard, perhaps I could receive your advise and/or authority
about the use of such terms as damn, s**t, liar, and
pissed-off, all of which, among others, have recently appeared on these
threads (I realize that I'm forgetting
a few other terms).
BTW: back on thread: I hope to receive the 1955 - 1961 "Drag News"
compilation, sometime this week, and
will have to follow-up with the NHRA museum on THUR, when it re-opens,
to discuss/confirm the various
Stock & gas classes in which the D500's may have competed.

Will anyone join me in a call, a request, a plea for ForwardLook
SUBJECT lines that have some factual relevance to the content of
the message, that aren't marginally (or more) offensive in
implication, that will be helpful when viewed in the archives, and
that aren't just cutsie plays on words.
Yes, I'm asking us to be car hobby guys and not use "The Testies",
or similar, as a subject line.
