Well Louise.... It was good to see you on the show... and like most here I
was checking out the Back round for my Pals....
Maybe Pioneer can come up and do a Program On Bonneville one day....It
started out Great..... and as a Huge fan of Al Teague.... I was tickled with
that part of the coverage... I just wanta see the rest of the Hot
Rodders.....
Folks will come to our sport if they can see how easy it is to bring a car
to an event and understand that if your not out for the Big records you can
have a lot of fun
Keith #462 D / GALT ( yep if you understood that your a Fan )
