Congrats on the 2nd. Al. Was good to put another face to an anonymous 
email address. 

Was a great show in a scenic park. Lots of cars of different marques. Two 
of my Philly clubmates got 2nds in the MGB categories. (early CB and late 
70's RB). There were 5 Midgets and I agree the winner was beautiful. I 
was one vote shy of third and I bet Al didn't vote for me ;-)  (Actullay 
I have no idea how far off I was but it didn't matter I was outclassed, 
but the ONLY daily driver!!!)
