the rally boys

Damn, we were a bunch of hansome young bucks back then.

Proudly holding our bottles of "Blue Nun" for winning a Mr. Toad's gimmick rally in 1977.

Here are (clockwise from the top left) Paul Padilla (senior albondigas), Mark Lomicka (the man with the hearse), John Goode (he owned a Saab Sonnett!) and yours truly.  If I recall, Paul drove his dad's Buick LeSabre to victory that night, while Armando and Joe beat the crap out of Roy Sakaguchi's Toyota camper.  A good time was had by all. Really.
