Congrats, dad... I hope she and her dad become a terror to the
teutonics quickly.
I'll be glad to get your bouncing baby girl in my crosshairs this
year! My first vintage event won't be until the Mid Ohio event in
June... I'll probably not be able to get a shot at her her until the
Fall Festival as owing to financial constraints, I'm going to give
the BRIC a miss this year in favor of going to Grattan (I've never
been there and the Green Man has a hankering to mark some new
territory there)...
Best of luck to the both of you
