Thanks for all the nice congratulation guys. I am still grinning.
My best timed practice was 2:16.8, 15th, qualifying time was 2:12.5 about
16th of 33. Race time was 2:10.7 15th overall of 32.

Dave, congratulations!!!!!!!!
Great feeling, isn't it. Glad you had fun; keep having fun, that's the most
important thing.
The other important thing is to do all the wrenching you can at home before
the race, then just drive the car and mingle (BS) with the other guys at the
race! More fun than working on the car all weekend.
Cheers, Bill

> Hello Friends,
