Congrats Michael and Francis.
Knowing that Calspeed races and drives his car reguraly, makes this so much
sweeter. No millionair, stuck up, only way it moves is on a trailer, arogent
car owner here. Michael, once again you have motivated me to stick with my
restoration. I hope you got a chance to take a ride up Mt Diablo while you were
in the Denville / Blackhawk area. That was my Roadster testing ground in high
school.
