Great to have you on board. Please keep us posted as to happinings in your
part of the hemisphere.
I met Chris and Richard when they were here for Speed Week '98. Great group
of enthusastic racers (got to be to make that trip). Looking forward to a
time when I can make the Chalenge and visit Lake Gairdner with a ride of my
own.
