Our esteemed Dr. MacInnes has a birthday today, here's to many, many more Bruce
Bruce has always been there for me throughout my SB experiences, always helpful, always a friend, thanks for everything you've done to make it a great ride
Happy B Day Bruce. You've been there to coach me through all my SB experiences as well. You're not only a wonderful instructor, but one hell of a very nice guy too. Enjoy you're day!
Thanks for your caring guidance after our uphill flying demonstration last week. Nobody I'd rather see first on scene, because nobody cares more than you do.
Have a happy day and many more to come. You always make us smile.
Pat

Re: Happy Birthday Bruce!
Happy Birthday Bruce... you are one of a kind. I love hearing your stories... always entertaining... even if most of them should start with the disclaimer "PROFESSIONAL DRIVER ON CLOSED COURSE. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!"
Many more!

Re: Happy Birthday Bruce!
After seeing Bruce in a R/T car for this past two day, after being alive all this time, he is still ridiculously fast and crazy. He is an insperation to all who know him. Happy Birthday to the most insane man I know Bruce McInnes.
Happy Birthday Bruce McI! You have always helped with racing wisdom when needed, joked when a laugh was no where to be found and of course the stories...damn the stories. Thanks for being such a cheerleader for us fledgling racers...

Happy b day, Bruce
Do you have any pics of that chicken you were waving at the Bridge in '74? (I just found out I'm old enough to call you 'sonny' but it'll take a little while to work up the courage.)
Happy Birtday Bruce! What can I say that hasn't already been said. You're words have definately helped me in the past to calm my 'Wildman' driving style....then I revert
Hope your special day was truely memorable.

Re: Happy Birthday Bruce!
Thanks to all of you for the kind words... Yes that is my daughter Ali in the picture, and Spencer - she is still too old for you he has (had) a thing for very young girls... When Ali was 10 years old, we bought a very cool Kart (with wings and slicks) from Joe Calderone. Ali was very impressed at the time - not by the Kart, but by Joe who was 26. What's a Dad to do now that she will be 23 this week???
I did drive the RT-2000 Last week and absolutely Loved it in the wet and dry. What a blast... Thanks again and hope to see you all soon.
