The great race is comming to a close. Scrappy is going to make it as I
expected. No doubts here, given the experienced team and the Tractor engine.
Anyway "Holler" out the windows and cheer the folks on through the closing
legs. Maybe they can tour the car in the Fourth of July celebrations when they
get back - just to wind down from the trip?????? always liked to see british
cars in the parades over the Fourth. Even though the event coordinators always
put you in the back. Right behind the horses.
