Sixteen Days on the road, almost 6000 miles, a lot of sweat and too much beer, 
and then it's "running on empty." Oh SHIT, it's only 50 weeks to get ready to 
do it again !!! 

It's best to start out with Thank You's !!!
To: Tom Byrant...Thanks for the use of your spare transmission and the great 
driving tips! Tom, your a class guy, Tahnks again !!!
To: My Partner, Lionel Williams...for the great ride
To: John Beckett...for driving tips, sparking my design thoughts and the offer 
to drive his car after I broke my ride.
To: All the people who visited us in our pits and  in the staging lanes...for 
making this a great week!

I would also like to thank Keith Turk, The ECTA'S Social Butterfly, for showing 
all of us how to change a motor and rear third member with a diet Coke in one 
hand and a cigarette in the other... Hey, Keith, does that 90 weight gear lube 
you had smeared up and down your arms really work better than sunblock 45 ???

We came to B-ville looking to set a 200+ record in c/mmp, but one blown up 
trans, a special 90 degree chevy valve and a lot of sweat later , we did manage 
to set a record , just not what we planned on. 

On the other hand, my other partner , John Beckett managed to reset the E/GCC 
record twice.

OKAY....
Time for all racers to fill us in.  Racing ended Thursday evening except for
record return runs.  I know there are stories to tell!
How was the trip?  How did you do...up to expectations?  How about
impressions?  Fill us all in!
