I have to be honest here: I wasn't at Rockford.
I am thinkin' pretty hard about going to Dallas, though. It's only 1700+ miles
for me (each way) . Regular drive in the park! I'll have to tote the ol' race
tires a good long way for that one, but it'll be worth it.
It would be nice to "defend the crown", so to speak.

p.s. gettin' ready to put in the SuperTrapp and locked rear... that should
scrape a few more "tenths" off the ol' time. Now all I need is a wide open
course. SCCA will probably demand that I put in a roll bar because I'll
be so fast!
