Title: Pat Johnstons new concourse Winner
Post by: Oregon_Flyer on June 05, 2006, 07:45:39 PM

I understand that Pat Johnston [boise Idaho Power guy] has a gorgeous new '51 D that whomped on everything in sight at the NW Regionals concourse judging.  Does anyone know about this?  Got photos?  Pat, if you read this, how about show and tell please.  [ pic of trophy would be nice]

Maybe he is too modest.  DOC Holliday

Doc,

I don't know if you have met Pat, but he is a gentleman through and through.  Always has time to listen and when appropriate offer some thoughts to ponder.  First time I was introduced he put me at ease and in no time at all I felt we had been friends for years.  Look in the mirror and you will see what I am talking about, it is what makes this endeavor so enjoyable, and Doc, for that I thank you and all of the other members.

I just don't think Pat does much online. Randy P. would know better, tho. I believe I have a photo of his new 'Stang, but I still haven't got my computer fixed up to download pics from the new camera.

On second thought, maybe there's a cord in the cam box that plugs straight into one o' them usb ports. I'll go check...maybe I can avoid taking the computer back to Fry's? Sounds like a win-win situation...delay the inevitable SNAFU.

By the way, you're right about Pat. An excellent modeller and human being. Always willing to help, too. Steve

PS: Pat's got a Stalker .61RE in this one, with a muffler under the tank. Slick.

Hi Steve,

Always good to hear from you.  Thanks for the photo post.  Pat said he thought it looked better than the previous 'Stang but he still drags his "Kitty" Bear around for backup.  I find it amazing to see this kind of workmanship but sheeesh, I'm envious as the dickens. No wonder he grabbed off the 1st place spot in the concourse event.

Marv...the Bearcat is Pat's Classic entry...it's an Al Rabe design. Power is a SSW Magnum .53. I didn't see you at Regionals. Maybe I was hiding someplace, trying to stay warm & dry.  ::)  Steve
