A JAGUAR WESTERN STATES EVENT. MIKE WON FIRST IN HIS CLASS FOR
SLALOM RACING AND THEN HE WON FIRST IN CONCOURS IN HIS CLASS. HE
ALSO WON THE BROKEN CAT AWARD FOR WHAT HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO
THE EVEN. THEY MADE IT HOME BEFORE THE BIG FLOODS HIT LAS VEGAS.
2. PATRICIA GARRAHAN TELLS US THAT HER TAI CHI CLUB HAD A PICNIC A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. HER CLASS DEMONSTRATED THE SUN 73
COMPETITION FORM. ON THE WAY HOME THEY WERE INVOLVED IN A TAIL-
END COLLISION, HER TAIL END ON HER NEW CAR. THE OTHER DRIVER IN THE
OTHER CAR LOST HER FRON WHEEL. IT TURNED SIDEWAYS UNDER HER CAR
AND SHE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, THEN
BOUNCED OFF AND AROUND THE NEXT CAR. HER CAR THEN SWERED BACK
INTO THE LANE AND HIT PAT’S NEIGHBORS CAR. THE NEIGHBORS CAR WAS
