Malcolm,
Truly Don is a competent racer and God willing I'll have the T'Bird at
B'Ville again this August. Don is more than welcome to push it past the 226
that I did this past year. I intend to have another car there also, a Gas
coupe, which I expect will pass 200 also. He's welcome to either ride but we
may want to talk about trading some time with his photography model.
