"It is a nice little contest that's been in existence since December 26, 1998. We play SA every year on that date as an Anniversary Contest, just for commemoration.

Wow, I've been all over the Internet with this Contest, but we've been at The Clubhouse Turn since February, I think it was. No, we're not the "railbird" list, although they sound fun! lol

Oh, I think we all have our "chump" days at the track. People procreate faster than I win one of these contests. It's fun, though, and good practice, so I'm addicted to it. The players are great and have played this for a very long time.

Glad you like the site and decided to play. How long have you been into racing? I take it you're a horseplayer?

Carol/Final Turn"


I can't remember how I got here. I think it could have been Plenilune who invited me here but that part is fuzzy. Over the years I have played at a multitude of sites but this is home. As Carol said it's fun and good practice and I'm addicted to it.
Wow, you saved an email from Carol . . . sorry Pete, you are a hoarder!!! And I am grateful that Jane invited you in. And then all of sudden one day she disappeared . . something to do with a divorce, via PM, or not so good family issues. And lead me to believe she was an attorney. Maybe I'm dreaming that but hey . . . And I am very glad you call this HOME. Not sure how much longer I can deal with all you "children" but I love every minute of it. Good "story" Pete. Did you ever get the inkling she was a real lawyer?

OK all, this is an unlikely thread to carry on like this (maybe one Pete will save to revisit 5 or 6 years from now, if we're still alive) but it is way too heavy on the Pete and Don show. Anyone else care to add there earlier times on other forums and how you ended up here. BTW - who was the very self indulgent player who was a part time Hollywood stand in. He was a staple to begin with and said he had enough and tool his balls and wanted to play in another playground. Anyone remember his AKA or real name? He was a pretty good player as well.

I'm having fun with looking back a bit. C'mon folks . . . jump in!!!
