Hi Bill yes I was thinking about the run all weekend.
I wish I could have done the Glen this year, but I'm being a good
husband and sucking up to my wife for next year's vintage racing
launch.
(Got some wrenching time in on the car too.)
Some good memories from last year. I'll credit that run I had in the
re-enactment for spurring on my desire to race.
Maybe next year I'll return as a spectator or if the money tree blooms a
racer.
